In a wholly unexpected (but most excellent) turn of events, Ben Wheatley, of all people, will direct the Tomb Raider sequel. Deadline reports that Wheatley, the acclaimed British filmmaker behind High-Rise, A Field In England, and Free Fire, has set his sights on his biggest project yet: A sequel to 2018's Tomb Raider, starring Alicia Vikander as iconic video game hero Lara Croft. Directed by Roar Uthaug (The Wave), the previous Tomb Raider wasn’t exactly beloved by critics, but Vikander made for an excellent Croft and the film went on to gross $275 million worldwide—enough to justify a sequel, though that seemed fairly unlikely given the tepid response. But Wheatley is a name that’s sure to generate a bit more enthusiasm—particularly from cinephiles—with a filmography that includes genre favorites like Kill List and A Field In England.
