Fans Rejoice After ‘Tomb Raider’ Set Photos Leak

The Oscar winner is caught in action as the famous heroine in Roar Uthaug’s reboot

Leaked on-set photos of Alicia Vikander as “Tomb Raider” heroine Lara Croft have fans buzzing, with people on Twitter calling the casting “perfect” and “true art.”

Norwegian filmmaker Roar Uthaug (“The Wave”) will direct the action-adventure movie, which is based on the popular Eidos video games that have sold more than 35 million units worldwide.

The film will take a different path from two previous “Tomb Raider” films, which starred Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft and Jon Voight as her father.

Vikander’s portrayal of Croft will be in the spirit of the video game series’ 2013 reboot, which also focused on Lara Croft’s origins and her first adventure as an archaeologist.
