Here's some new pics of Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft
In the past few hours, new official photos of Alicia Vikander in Lara Croft's shoes have emerged online, taken from the upcoming Tomb Raider film reboot directed by Roar Uthaug (The Wave, Escape). It's quite evident that the main inspiration for the new Lara Croft, who seems very different from the one played by Angelina Jolie, is the new Lara seen in the reboot video game series developed by Crystal Dynamics.
NME also revealed the official synopsis, that you can read below: "Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished when she was scarcely a teen. Now a young woman of 21 without any real focus or purpose, Lara navigates the chaotic streets of trendy East London as a bike courier, barely making the rent, and takes college courses, rarely making it to class. Determined to forge her own path, she refuses to take the reins of her father's global empire just as staunchly as she rejects the idea that he's truly gone."
"Advised to face the facts and move forward after seven years without him, even Lara can't understand what drives her to finally solve the puzzle of his mysterious death. Going explicitly against his final wishes, she leaves everything she knows behind in search of her dad's last-known destination: a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan. But her mission will not be an easy one; just reaching the island will be extremely treacherous. Suddenly, the stakes couldn't be higher for Lara, who-against the odds and armed with only her sharp mind, blind faith and inherently stubborn spirit-must learn to push herself beyond her limits as she journeys into the unknown. If she survives this perilous adventure, it could be the making of her, earning her the name tomb raider."
Next to Alicia Vikander, the cast of new Tomb Raider film will also include Walton Goggins (The Hateful Eight) as the villain and Daniel Wu (Europa Report, Warcraft) who will play the ship's captain who helps Lara locate her missing father. The film is expected in theaters on March 28, 2018.
Is Vikander a good choice for the role?
