I'm sure WB and MGM didn't want the first look at Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft to come from set photos but that's exactly what's happened. Still, even the most skeptical of video game movie doubters has to admit that Vikander certainly looks the part. The snaps also seemingly confirm that the movie is indeed based on the 2010 prequel/reboot video game reboot from Crystal Dynamics.
Roar Uthaug is directing the Tomb Raider reboot from a script written by Geneva Robertson-Dworet. The MGM and Warner Bros. collaboration currently has a release date of March 16, 2018.
The video game movie first cast Vikander to play the titular lead and then secured Walton Goggins to play the villain and Daniel Wu to play a ship captain and longtime friend of the Croft family. Dominic West will play Lara Croft's father, Lord Richard Croft, in the live-action adaptation from GK Films, MGM and Warner Bros. The movie will be primarily based on the 2010 Tomb Raider reboot from Crystal Dynamics.
