Alicia Vikander better brush up on her video games, because the Oscar-winnning actress is about to take on a huge role. She'll be playing Lara Croft [1] in Tomb Raider, director Roar Uthaug's reboot. She has some pretty big shoes to fill, given that Angelina Jolie [2] originated the role in 2001's Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and 2003's Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the new film "will tell the story of a young and untested Croft fighting to survive her first adventure." It's a big departure for Vikander, who has recently risen to fame thanks to dramatic roles in films like The Danish Girl, Anna Karenina, and Ex Machina. This is also a big get for Vikander, as Daisy Ridley was being eyed for the part [3] not too long ago.
