The first images of Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft in latest “Tomb Raider” have surfaced – and they are certainly causing a stir.
The images, which feature Vikander doing her own stunts, suspended from a cable, come shortly after Director Roar Uthaug shared a photo from the first day of filming.
T is little context around the latest Vikander photos, but she is clearly working hard at channeling the adventurous archaeologist, Croft, on the same level actress Angelia Jolie previously did.
The pictures were first released by the Daily Mail, and show Vikander with her hands tied – but that is certainly not much of a predicament for someone as MacGyver-esque as Lara Croft.
It wouldn’t be the first time a villain shackles Croft, continues on to their enterprise, and later finds that she cleverly worked her way out.
Alicia Vikander cast as Lara Croft in ‘Tomb Raider’ reboot.
In relevant casting news, Dominic West recently signed on to play Lord Richard Croft, who’s an archaeologist and aristocrat.
As MovieWeb.com notes, the 2018 film will reportedly find Croft trying to “Finish her father’s research and uncover ancient secrets in order to clear his disgraced name.”
“Into the Badlands” star Daniel Wu signed on for “Tomb Raider” last month to play Lu Ren, a ship captain and ally to Croft.
