Hayley Atwell Teases Her TOMB RAIDER: THE LEGEND OF LARA CROFT Animated Series

Hayley Atwell (Agent Carter, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One) has an exciting new project coming in which she will provide the voice of the iconic video game character Lara Croft in Netflix’s upcoming anime series Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. You can check out the trailer for that series, here. It looks good!

This is a role that Atwell is perfect for, and during a recent interview with CB, she talked about the series and teased her preparation for the series and her voice, saying:

"The scripts are so good and they're so fun. And I think also I got so much practice and preparation for how to sustain the level of activity and energy with just your voice by playing Captain Carter in this way, that it set me in good stead for going, 'This is how you, as a voiceover what it takes, for you to be confined in a small space and not seen, but totally rely on the voice to tell this story and wake up other people's imaginations.' So yeah, one thing helped feed the other for sure." 

The series will follow the adventures of Lara Croft, and it’s set after the events of the video game reboot trilogy. This is the description that was shared for the project:

Lara Croft, one of the video game world’s most iconic adventurers, makes her anime debut in an all-new series. Picking up after the events of the highly successful Tomb Raider video-game reboot trilogy, the animated series will chart the globetrotting heroine’s latest, greatest adventure. Twenty-five years after her first game appeared, Lara continues to explore new territory.

The anime is being written and executive produced by Tasha Huo. Dmitri M. Johnson, Stephan Bugaj, Howard Bliss, and Jacob Robinson will also oversee the series as producers.
