Monday brings us our first look at Tomb Raider, starring Alicia Vikander as the video game heroine Lara Croft.
The upcoming Tomb Raider movie is being based on 2013’s Tomb Raider video game, which showed Lara Croft as an archaeology student for the first time. The first installment of the reboot video game franchise saw Lara on her inaugural mission, with the followup game, Rise of the Tomb Raider (2015), taking place a year later.
Thanks to Vanity Fair, we’re getting our first look as Vikander in the titular role.
What do you think so far? The images paint a picture very similar to the video game, which certainly is promising.
The official synopsis reads:
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.
Tomb Raider opens March 16, 2018.
