I know the movies were bad but Angelina Jolie was actually iconic as Lara.

I just want a new Tomb Raider game tbh.

No thank you to either of them. I'm sure they are lovely but...they are not Lara Croft.

We cant go from Angelina who was iconic and then Alicia who was good to....either of these two.

The animated series is already basic enough.

Yeah, when they initially cast Alicia I thought "Her??? She can act, but... ???" and I didn't like a lot of what they changed in the movie vs the Survivor reboot(s) (though I appreciate bringing Trinity into the fold earlier - made no sense how they did it in the game/technically via book) but I walked out of the movie thinking "Yeah, I like Alicia as Lara, now!" and was hoping she'd get the sequel.

I'm still disappointed Alicia didn't get a sequel! I really liked her because I didn't feel like she was trying to be Angelina's Lara.

I love all the project choices Sophie had been doing post divorce, she is really exploring different genres, I do hope she goes for comedies and romcoms next because Do Revenge showed she has a knack for it.

Also people should watch ITV's Joan, she has been fantastic on it, truly great.

Both are wrong for the role

It's funny because in the other post with all the Halloween costumes I kept thinking that Sophie looked more like Lara Croft than Trinity with her costume. Maybe that was why?
