Vanity Fair has released a pair of images of Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider film, played by Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl and Ex Machina). Both portray a battered Lara appearing bent on survival. Check them out below!
Expanding on plot details you’ve likely heard already, Vanity Fair also shared a bit more about the movie’s premise. “After the disappearance of her father (played by The Wire‘s Dominic West) seven years earlier, a 21-year-old Lara attempts to find him by seeking out a tomb on an island near Japan where he was last seen.”
“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,” the official description reads. “If she survives this perilous adventure, it could be the making of her, earning her the name tomb raider.”
Tomb Raider is being directed by Roar Uthaug and also stars Walton Goggins (Sons of Anarchy) as the villain and Daniel Wu as a ship captain who also serves as an ally. The film due out on March 16, 2018.
This movie is not directly tied to the games, of which no new ones have been announced. A sequel to the game Rise of the Tomb Raider is likely, however, as the 2013 reboot has been described as part of a trilogy. A leak last year suggested the name of the third game will be Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
