TOMB RAIDER: Alicia Vikander Promises Fresh Take on Character’s Origin

Alicia Vikander Discusses Reboot For Lara Croft’s Story on Tomb Raider. Tomb Raider is getting a fresh new makeover, according to Alicia Vikander, the star of the upcoming reboot. According to the actress, we would be getting a younger and inexperienced Lara Croft for the film.

Talking with Hitfix, Alicia Vikander explained that the new film will offer a fresh take on the character and loosely based on the 2013 version of the game. However, the film may also be more than just a loose adaptation based on what the actress said here:

They told me they were doing the film based on the reboot of the game from 2013. That is more of an origin story. You get into an emotional aspect of getting to know Lara hopefully in an in-depth way. So I hope that doing a film of the rebooted game will bring something new and fresh that’ll stand on its own two legs.

Are you guys looking forward to seeing Alicia Vikander as the young Lara Croft?
