The Oscar winner looks like a perfect bit of casting.
We're certain that quite a lot of people spent months playing the seminal Playstation game Tomb Raider when it was first released in 1996. Christ, we're old.
Just like Goldeneye or Super Mario 64, Lara Croft's adventures were revolutionary; they changed the way that RPG's were designed. Still though, how frustrating was it when you ran out of air while swimming?
With 18 games under her belt, you would think that there's very little left for the archaeologist to conquer. This being said, one thing has remained elusive though, a really strong film adaptation.
Angelina Jolie tried her very best to make two decent Tomb Raider films, but to be honest, they were bang average.
Oscar winner Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl, Jason Bourne, Ex Machina) is the latest actress to take on the role and it appears that she's more than up to its physical demands.
In the new film, Lara Croft sets out on her first expedition to finish her father's archaeological research and uncover ancient secrets in order to clear his disgraced name. Tragedy hits when her adventure turns into a fight for survival.
Roar Uthaug's film is expected to be released in March 2018.
