Watch Alicia Vikander As Lara Croft In The First Tomb Raider Trailer

Sixteen years after Angelina first donned the cargo shorts and singlet, there’s a new Lara Croft in town. That’s right, the first trailer for the Tomb Raider reboot is finally here, giving us our first proper look at Alicia Vikander as the treasure-hunting heroine.

The new film sees a young Lara following in her father’s footsteps (oh hi Dominic West!), as she goes looking for a fabled tomb on a mysterious far-flung island. Apparently, the fate of the world is at stake, something that baddie Walton Goggins doesn’t seem too fussed about…

Check out the new trailer, below…

The new film borrows pretty heavily from the story told in the 2013 videogame reboot, while Vikander’s look has also been lifted direct from the new games. And from the looks of this first trailer, the action promises to be similarly OTT.

Directed by Roar Uthaug and co-starring Daniel Wu, Nick Frost and Kristin Scott Thomas, Tomb Raider will open in the UK on March 16 2018.
