What do you think about Alicia Vikander as the new Lara Croft?

[Mustachekitteh]

In 2018 there will be a new Tomb Raider movie and this lovely lady will play Lara Croft.

she's perfect!

I don't know

horrible idea

[nfigure]

Alicia Vikander is hot, fits the look of Lady Croft, and is a good actress from the roles I've seen her in (Anna Karenina, The Fifth Estate, and Jason Bourne), BUT she's not British and that still bugs me a little. :P

It's almost becoming an ongoing gag now that the studios --- casting British actors these days in all kinds of roles, ESPECIALLY for traditionally "all-American" types like Superman, Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Luther King Jr LOL--- somehow refuse to cast a British girl to play Lara Croft. xD

I personally would have preferred Camilla Luddington, who did work for the recent games:

she's alright, but i will forever envisage

As Lara Croft. She British, she's posh and she has done stunt/firearms work before. Why Kate Beckinsale is not Lara i don't know.

[Femdomina]

Nah, she is very pretty, but Lara has to be more athletic.

[Kapakani]

I've only seen her in Bourne & i loved her performance in there.

Also I like her look in pic #2 u have posted up above... she seems like she'll make a good Lara to me.

She won't be to Lara what Downey Jr. Is to Iron man... but she is a top choice.

[Alan180188]

they just took out the whole spirit and charisma of the character !
she is very cute and soft and doesn't match the character !
they could've used jessica alba it would've been more reasonable and much close to the old character !!
baaad baaad choice, probably won't watch the movie so I don't destroy the image I have in my mind for lara croft

[AleDeEurope]

I wanted the actress that plays the LC from the games (don't remember her name). She would have been perfect.
This woman doesn't seem bad, she has some similarities, but I don't know of any films from her, even though she sounds familiar.

[nfigure]

Camilla Luddington. :D

[AleDeEurope]

@nfigure that one! She played a great role, and she's beautiful.

[ChocoLada]

Lara Croft would be great for a role play, don't you think so? ;)

[AleDeEurope]

@ChocoLada hell yeah hahah

[ChocoLada]

Yeah, I knew you'd like it :D

[kJm91]

I loved her on Ex- Machina. And honestly I have no issue with her playing Lara Croft, but I'll be interested in seeing a trailer hopefully some time next year.

[meatballs21]

Oh god, are we going to have a movie of Lara being constantly impaled on spikes, wailing and cry and groaning about "gotta get through this"? Haven't played Rise yet but TR2013 was a very confused game in terms of tone.

[Azgeda]

Lara Croft is British tho , would Vikander be able to pull off the accent?
I'm not sure if she has the intellectual femme fatale vibe necessary for the role of Lara Croft.

[Spiorad_Aisce]

I had a look at her images - She looks a bit petite for Lara Croft - I would have expected a more fit toned looking lady

[Maxemeister]

Why tf is she in everything now?

She doesn't seem like she has the body

[Maxemeister]

And by that I mean the muscle and the capability to do what Lara Croft does

[Mustachekitteh]

They knocked down lara Crofts boobs since the first movies. :P

[Maxemeister]

Omfg those bastards!

I think what they should do is try to make the perfect Halo movie cuz I actually think that would work

[Centerino]

It should have been Camilla Luddington who actually voiced Lara in the reboot game in 2013 and in Rise of the Tomb Raider.

[Phoenix98]

Ehh I don't know I don't know much of her so I can only speculate at this point, just have to wait and see.

[clampfan101]

I don't like the idea of movies based on video games. I doubt they'd ever be good. At least for people who've played the game.

[ThatBritishLad]

I hate everything about the new Lara Croft, so I'm predisposed towards disliking it.

[Waffles731]

She actually would be perfect for it, that is IF WE NEEDED ANOTHER BAD VIDEO GAME MOVIE

[chc0009]

I don't know and I don't care. I'm not into a lot of things these days.

[Anonymous]

Hopefully her dancing skills help her, and hopefully she knows good English. She's from Sweden, born in Gothenburg

[TatyanaTheEmpress]

She is too cute for that role, Lara is a badass.

[ThisDudeHere]

I don't watch or play the Tomb Raider series.

[SomeGuy37]

Can't say until I see a movie. . .

[outmyroom]

She was great in that trans movie but nothing else

[Yumix]

I don't know... going just by looks - sure.
