Oscar-winning actress Alicia Vikander has been signed on for the untitled Tomb Raider reboot.
The 27-year-old “Ex Machina” actress is attached to play the heroine made famous by Angelina Jolie in the two previous movies. Daisy Ridley was previously rumored for the upcoming revamped version. Based on a popular video game of the same name, the Lara Croft saga was first adapted into a movie in 2001. It was followed by a sequel “Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life” in 2003. The remake hasn’t got a release date but has secured Norwegian director Roar Uthaug.
The storyline is still unclear but the new film is expected to focus on Lara Croft’s origin story.
