The last entry in the franchise was the 2018 Tomb Raider movie with Alicia Vikander. as the protagonist, Lara Croft. Although the film was received with a fairly good approval, both by critics and by fans, plans for a sequel were never completed.

Specialized journalists estimate that one of the factors that would have prevented the announcement of a sequel (what would have been enough to retain the rights) relates to Amazon’s purchase of MGM. The deal closed in March and the new owner is currently examining the projects and franchises of the studio.

To get a new owner and restart the franchise, it would be the third attempt to create a franchise around the video game series. The first, starring Angelina Joliehas been the most fruitful so far with the first film grossing $131 million in the United States alonebut with more disappointing sequels.
