The first official images have emerged of Alicia Vikander as the badass goddess of gaming Lara Croft, AND I’M OFFICIALLY IN LOVE. She looks just like Lara from the 2013 reboot (GORGEOUS), and Vikander is a talented actress. I have faith that she and director Roar Uthaug (The Wave) will bring an entertaining, faithful representation of Lara to the big screen. JUST LOOK AT HER!
They are changing the story of the film from the game’s narrative, but it sounds like it will still fit in with Lara’s mythology. Lara will be 21 in the film, trying to solve her father’s mysterious death. She’s described as being rebellious and independent, and that brings me hope that my childhood heroine will be treated with care. Color me fifty shades of excited for this adaptation! 2018 can’t come soon enough…
