First Official Tomb Raider Reboot Images Shows… by filmjunkee
We have our first official look at Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft for the new Tomb Raider movie. These images come courtesy of Vanity Fair and of course she looks great. Vikander also talked about taking on the role:
When I was asked to take on this role I got really excited—Lara Croft is a truly iconic character.
