Ahead of the release of the first official trailer for Warner Brothers’Tomb Raiderreboot , a brief , fifteen second snitcher peep has surfaced give audiences and devotee their first look at the Modern Lara Croft in activity .
Alicia Vikander explode onto the scene in a big way in 2015 , star as one of the highlighting in high - visibility projects like Alex Garland’sEx MachinaandThe Man from U.N.C.L.E.before capping the year with a Best Supporting Actress win at the Oscars for her work alongside Eddie Redmayne inThe Danish Girl . Garnering position similar to the breakout of Jennifer Lawrence a few years ago , it ’s only meet that Vikander was pass on the lead role in a major blockbuster franchise . In this case , the Swedish actress will be star in a reboot of video game franchiseLara Croft : Tomb Raider , a serial publication of femaleIndiana Jones - esque adventuresonce previously headline by Angelina Jolie in the early 2000 ’s .
WithTomb Raiderset to come out next March , the marketing hunting expedition is beginning to ratchet down up for the reboot . Thanks to the release of the film ’s first bill sticker , we had already get a good look at Vikander in the full Lara Croft costume . Now we get to see her in motion , as a dawdler tease has drop on the officialTomb RaiderTwitter page ( for both the games and the movie ) . It ’s a brief look at a full - distance trailer that will drop sometime tomorrow , but it kick in us a taste of the movie ’s adrenaline - pumping action , with shot of Vikander wielding a bow and arrow , brutally caroming into rapid water , and channeling someMatrixbulletime in an attack to avoid a deadly death .
This film is specifically based on one of the new Lara Croft escapade , 2013 ’s game of the same name unloose by Crystal DynamicsGiven the full - duration trailer is dropping tomorrow , the studio apartment is probably project on attaching the preview in front of upcoming similar action / adventure properties likeKingsman : The Golden CircleandBlade Runner2049 in theaters . This will give audiences ample exposure to the new onscreen version of Lara Croft , as this abbreviated teasing seems to stay any doubts that Vikander has the physicality to handle such a physically - challenge role . We also get a blink - and - you’ll - miss it look at Daniel Wu as Lu Ren , one of Croft ’s associate in this adventure .
The reboot ofTomb Raiderwill arrive 15 years after the last motion-picture show installment , Lara Croft : The Cradle of Life , opened to underwhelming decisive and financial success in 2003 . In that meter , the quandary of the " good television game picture show " has yet to be solved , withWarcraftandAssassin ’s Creedbeing the former films to sniff on an endeavour . It ’s far too early to secernate if theatre director Roar Ulthaug ( who antecedently was well bed for the Norwegian disaster filmThe Wave)hasbucked this movement here , but we for sure will get a good sense of just that , when the official trailer forTomb Raiderdrops online .
