'Tomb Raider' Reboot News: Latest Poster Offers Glimpse at Alicia Vikander's Lara Croft
A new poster for "Tomb Raider" has been unveiled.
Warner Bros. recently released a new poster for the "Tomb Raider" reboot, according to reports. The photo shows lead star Alicia Vikander looking every bit the action heroine, bloodied and bruised as she looks directly at the camera.
The new poster is very different from the first "Tomb Raider" poster, which raised eyebrows due to the weird editing done on Vikander's neck that made it look rubbery. Oscar winner Vikander takes over the role of Lara Croft from original lead Angelina Jolie, who is also an Oscar-winning actress.
