Along with the recent news it will be working on and publishing the next Tomb Raider game, fresh reports state the company also has plans for both a film and TV series based on the globe-trotting and pistol-wielding Lara Croft.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, sources state Phoebe Waller-Bridge, known for Fleabag and Killing Eve, is attached to write a Tomb Raider TV project, which is still in the “development stages”. However, the actor does not plan to star in the adaptation.
Waller-Bridge will reportedly executive produce the show, alongside former head of comedy and drama Ryan Andolina and former head of overall deals Amanda Greenblatt.
It was then claimed that any future Tomb Raider films would be a “complete reboot”.
Meanwhile, Netflix is still set to release its Tomb Raider anime, with Hayley Atwell as Lara Croft. While all has been quiet on this front for a long, long time, showrunner Tasha Huo assured fans over the weekend that the anime was still coming.
“Animation takes a long time, y’all, but the wait will be worth it.”
