While the studio just lost the rights to the property. Now, the movie rights to the beloved video game series are up for grabs, and it has sparked a huge bidding war in Hollywood.

That means that anything could happen to the movie franchise, whether it's completely rebooting it or even making a legacy sequel to the Angelina Jolie-starring 2000s series. Either way, Redditors have some strong opinions about what should happen to the franchise. Between crossing over with other video game movies, properly adapting the very first game (dinosaurs and all,) and getting Ana de Arms to star as the treasure hunter, studio execs need to pay attention.

A Tomb Raider Multiverse

Every few years, a huge movie trend comes along that Hollywood studios completely saturate, and the current trend is multiverses. While it's half in jest, Joshlamm wants to see a Tomb Raider multiverse. The Redditor posits, "A Tomb Raider multiverse film where all the Laras come back to.. raid tombs?"

As there are already two Lara' in the movie franchise, if a studio adds one more, it could have a Spider-Man: No Way Home kind of movie in its hand. In fairness, while it sounds ridiculous, the Tomb Raider movies and games have always played with supernatural ideas, so having three Laras together on the big screen isn't completely outside the realm of possibility.

A Proper Supernatural Movie

Angelina Jolie's tenure as Lara Croft heavily featured supernatural elements, as the first film is about an artifact that controls time, and The Cradle of Life is about Pandora's Box. However, 2018's gritty and realistic reboot was not only absent of anything supernatural but there was a massive bait and switch. The movie makes audiences believe that something supernatural is going on, only for it to have completely scientific reasoning behind it.

Mortal Kombat proved that video game movies can be unapologetically faithful to the outlandish source material, so there's no reason why a Tomb Raider movie couldn't do the same.

Uncharted/Tomb Raider Crossover

Uncharted series was influenced by Tomb Raider, as the two video game franchises are too similar for it not to have been. And fans have wondered about a crossover for years, and it could just happen, at least in a movie.

While it's extremely unlikely, the Redditor explains a situation where the team-up movie could actually happen, explaining, "If Sony gets the rights then they can do an Uncharted/Tomb Raider crossover." As Sony just released the successful Uncharted and probably already has the second movie in development, what better way is there to introduce a rebooted Lara Croft than in Uncharted 2?

A Remake Of The Original Game/Add Dinosaurs

2001's Lara Craft: Tomb Raider was an adaptation of the original game, as the first Tomb Raider game was all about her relationship with her father and collecting the two Triangle pieces. However, there were some glaring omissions in the film, and those omissions just happen to be the best parts of the game.

10x better if it added dinosaurs, there's no reason not to take this approach.

Robert Eggers Should Direct It

The Northman, and while it wasn't a box office hit, it was a visually stunning revenge epic. The director knows how to shoot small one-on-one fights and huge, sprawling battles, and he knows how to make them look beautiful too. There's no doubt that an Eggers-directed Tomb Raider would be strange and leftfield, but he'd certainly be the most interesting choice for director.

If a studio gave Eggers creative freedom, he'd probably throw everything and the kitchen sink into it, and he'd give fans the dinosaur fights and all the supernatural stuff too. On top of that, as he has a great working relationship with Anya Taylor-Joy, who he directed in The Witch and The Northman, fans could see her in the titular role, and she could be great as Lara.

The Character Should Be A Badass

In 2018's Tomb Raider, the character lost some of her edge. While Lara Croft is supposed to be a charismatic badass, the reboot was influenced by the 2013 video game reboot, which saw Lara as more of a survivalist rather than the fearless ass-kicker she is in the original games.

Banjo-Oz misses the old Lara and wants to see that kind of character make a return to the big screen. The Redditor posits, "I want to see a rich, brilliant, athletic, gun-totting ass-kicker who raids tombs not because she has to or needs to, but because she wants to. The Reddit adds that Vikander's Lara was a cornered animal, and that's not what Tomb Raider represents.

Bring Jolie Back As Old Lara

So many movie franchises are getting legacy sequels right now, and even if it isn't in their movie, iconic characters are returning to the big screen. Michael Keaton hasn't portrayed Batman on the big screen in 30 years, but he'll be donning the cape and cowl once more in the DCEU movie The Flash, and that's after other actors have taken a shot at the character too. BMCarbaugh thinks that whichever studio wins the bidding war should take the same approach.

The Redditor pitches, "They should age Lara up and bring Jolie back. Do it like a Bond movie. Start the story, assume the audience already knows who she is, jumps right into a mid-career crisis and enemies trying to off her." There'd be no better way to depict Lara as a total badass than to bring back Jolie. And the film doesn't have to forget about the events of the first two movies, as they aren't as bad as critics think.

Ana De Armas Should Play Lara Croft

Ever since last year's The Gray Man, which sees her sprinting around with bazookas, and fans are dying to see a James Bond spin-off with her character Paloma. Now, this  thinks the Cuban actress should play Lara Croft in the inevitable reboot.

The Redditor posits, "Ana de Armas is great at action roles and has the looks. Her ESL accent doesn't fit a British character though." The accent would barely be a problem, as, according to Blonde.
