New TOMB RAIDER Photos Feature Alicia Vikander in Action as Lara Croft

In case you’ve forgotten due to the massive movies and trailers coming out like Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Avengers: Infinity War, we’re getting a new Tomb Raider movie in 2018. Alicia Vikander will be portraying Lara Croft and Roar Uthaug will be directing the film. Total Film magazine has some new photos from the movie (along with a great shot for the cover) and it is looking great. I’m excited to see how this one goes over. Don’t forget to go back and watch the trailer again if you need a refresher and here’ the official synopsis if you can’t:

Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished when she was scarcely a teen. Now a young woman of 21 without any real focus or purpose, Lara navigates the chaotic streets of trendy East London as a bike courier, barely making the rent, and takes college courses, rarely making it to class. Determined to forge her own path, she refuses to take the reins of her father’s global empire just as staunchly as she rejects the idea that he’s truly gone. Advised to face the facts and move forward after seven years without him, even Lara can’t understand what drives her to finally solve the puzzle of his mysterious death.

Going explicitly against his final wishes, she leaves everything she knows behind in search of her dad’s last-known destination: a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan. But her mission will not be an easy one; just reaching the island will be extremely treacherous. Suddenly, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Lara, who—against the odds and armed with only her sharp mind, blind faith and inherently stubborn spirit—must learn to push herself beyond her limits as she journeys into the unknown. If she survives this perilous adventure, it could be the making of her, earning her the name tomb raider.

Are you excited to see this film?

Tomb Raider comes to theaters March 16, 2018.
