A new report has detailed why the sequel to the Tomb Raider movie was canceled and how MGM lost the rights to the franchise.
In a rather shocking piece of news, it was recently confirmed that there would be no sequel to 2018's Tomb Raider movie with star Alicia Vikander. It wasn't just canceled because the studio didn't want to do it, it was because MGM lost the rights to the Tomb Raider series by dragging its feet on making a new entry in the series. In 2018, Tomb Raider was released and it loosely adapted the mature-rated 2013 reboot game.
A new report from The Wrap details how the film was canceled due to lapsed rights, claiming that it largely came down to MGM dragging its feet. The report noted how the studio had until May 1st, 2022 to start filming a sequel or lose the rights. This isn't an uncommon situation as in 1994, an unreleased and notoriously bad Fantastic Four film was made exclusively for the purpose of allowing the rights holders to keep the IP at that time.
Netflix is already working on an animated Tomb Raider series, which could make the film franchise feel right at home. A new Tomb Raider game is also in the works and rumors suggest it will feature Lara Croft in her prime following the reboot trilogy. As of right now, it's unclear when the game will release.
