Tomb Raider 2 (2025) continues the thrilling adventures of Lara Croft, portrayed by Alicia Vikander, as she delves deeper into the mysteries surrounding the shadowy organization Trinity. Picking up after the events of the 2018 film, Lara uncovers a new lead tied to her father’s research: the lost city of Kitezh, rumored to hold the Divine Source, an artifact granting immortality. Determined to stop Trinity from exploiting its power, Lara embarks on a globe-trotting journey, facing deadly traps, ancient puzzles, and ruthless mercenaries.
The film introduces a new antagonist, a cunning Trinity operative who challenges Lara both physically and mentally. Alongside her ally Lu Ren (Daniel Wu), Lara must navigate treacherous environments, including icy Siberian landscapes and underwater ruins. The climax features an intense showdown in Kitezh, where Lara must destroy the Divine Source to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands, sacrificing her chance to learn more about her father’s legacy.
The production budget for Tomb Raider 2 is estimated at $100–120 million, reflecting its high-stakes action and visual effects. While box office projections are speculative, the first film grossed $274 million globally, and the sequel is expected to perform similarly, potentially boosting the franchise’s overall net worth significantly.
