Tomb Raider 2, starring Alicia Vikander, has secured Lovecraft Country showrunner Misha Green as the new writer and director. Green will replace Ben Wheatley, who was first reported as director in September 2019. Tomb Raider 2 originally had a March 2021 release date but was recently taken off MGM's release calendar without receiving a new date. The news was first reported by Deadline and confirmed by Green in a post on Twitter.
