How about an older Lara croft? With Angelina?

Idk, the "sexy vampire" type they seem to be looking for (pale, apathetic, as little buccal fat as possible) is all wrong to me for Lara Croft. Get someone who can actually pass for athletic and exudes a bit of that sense of adventure and passion.

It would work for an Underworld reboot (nothx tho)

Sophie's admittedly not the strongest actress but she is improving, I watched her in Joan recently and was impressed by her performance there. However I don't see her as Lara unless she dramatically and physically transformed herself, and even then it would be a tough sell. Angelina was just too iconic in the role.

They should go with a talented unknown and launch someone's career.

I was so disappointed in the Alicia Vikander movie because they took the bare bones of the first reboot game, but removed all the women and my boy Jonah.

I just rewatched it a few nights ago. I agree. Jonah is such a critical character in the games. He was missed.
