Narrative:
On the ground in lax; we were next in line for takeoff for 24L behind an airbus 321. After the airbus took off; we called the traffic in sight. Then received a clearance for takeoff and maintain visual separation. We took off and everything was normal up until around 2;000 feet when we hit wake turbulence. The aircraft started banking to the right and then left; resulting in an excessive control input to counteract the turn that was caused by the wake of the aircraft ahead. We told ATC and requested a different heading. No aircraft damage or injuries occurred. I called maintenance to make sure that the aircraft was safe to continue to operate. Maintenance confirmed that it's good to go and there is no logbook entry needed.
