‘Tomb Raider’ First Look: See Alicia Vikander’s Lara Croft (Photos)
Oscar winner’s new version of action heroine will hit theaters March 16, 2018
In studio-approved still pictures obtained by Vanity Fair, Vikander takes on the role first made famous by the video game series and the two films starring Angelina Jolie.
Norwegian filmmaker Roar Uthaug (“The Wave”) is directing the action-adventure movie, which is based on the popular Eidos video games that have sold more than 35 million units worldwide.
Vikander’s portrayal of Croft will be in the spirit of the video game series’ 2013 reboot, which also focused on Lara Croft’s origins and her first adventure as an archaeologist.
