Deadline:

Ben Wheatley has been set to direct MGM’s Tomb Raider sequel, with the studio setting a release date of March 19, 2021. Alicia Vikander is reprising her role as the lissome, treasure-hunting action heroine Lara Croft. Amy Jump is writing the sequel script and Graham King is producing through his GK Films banner, and Elizabeth Cantillon.

Wild choice of director! I loved Free Fire, and thought that the moments of the Vikander-led Tomb Raider film were best when it adhered to the look/feel/story of the video game reboot, so perhaps with a better director at the helm, we’ll get more of that, and less whatever the “Lara Croft-as-bike-messenger" crap was.
