Ben Wheatley has jumped on board to direct the sequel to MGM’s Tomb Raider, which stars Alicia Vikander. This is the kind of film I never expected Wheatley to take on. He’s best known for his crazy films such as Kill List, A Field in England, Sightseers, High Rise, and Free Fire.

I actually enjoyed the first movie in this recent franchise, and I’m curious to see how Wheatley handles the sequel. I hope that he ends up bringing some of his crazy out of the box ideas to whatever story he ends up telling.

The script is being written by Amy Jump, who worked on all of Wheatley’s other films. There are no details on what story the sequel will tell, but I’m curious to find out.

The Tomb Raider sequel is set to be released on March 19, 2021. What do you think about Wheatley directing the film? How would you like the story for Lara Croft to play at?
