While Sonic the Hedgehog and Detective Pikachu may be getting the most credit for breaking the video game movie curse, 2018’s Tomb Raider film also deserves a nod. The movie didn’t exactly hit it out of the park with critics, but it was generally well-received by fans and was successful enough at the box office to warrant a sequel, which will be released in March of 2021.

Details on the Tomb Raider sequel film have been scarce since its announcement, but a new report sheds more light on what fans of the franchise can expect. Whereas the 2018 Tomb Raider film featured elements of the Tomb Raider video game reboot and Rise of the Tomb Raider, apparently this sequel will mix elements of Rise of the Tomb Raider and the more recent Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

More specific plot details are unavailable at the time of this writing. However, we can make some educated guesses on the Tomb Raider movie sequel plot based on what happened in the first film. Be warned that the rest of this post will have spoilers for the 2018 Tomb Raider movie, so those who haven’t seen it yet should proceed with caution.

The end of the 2018 Tomb Raider movie revealed that Ana Miller was secretly an agent for the antagonistic Trinity organization. Alicia Vikander’s Lara Croft realizes this at the end of the movie, so it’s quite possible that the Tomb Raider movie sequel will see Lara confront Miller and continue her feud with Trinity.

The mid-credits scene of the 2018 Tomb Raider movie, meanwhile, saw Lara purchase her iconic dual pistols from the video games. She was also wearing an outfit that looked very similar to her attire from some of the older games in the series. Considering this, it seems safe to assume that the dual pistols will be featured in the Tomb Raider movie sequel.

With the movie set to go into production in April, fans should be able to expect more concrete plot details sooner rather than later. Needless to say, it will be interesting to see how closely it sticks to the video game source material.

Tomb Raider 2 will release in theaters on March 19, 2021.
