But maybe things will finally change with the release of Tomb Raider, in which Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander takes on the iconic role of video game hero Lara Croft.
Dominic West (The Wire) plays Lara Croft’s dad, and Walton Goggins plays the villain in the new Tomb Raider movie, which hits theaters on March 16, 2018.
She certainly looks the part in the first photos from the film, which hits theaters next year.
In addition to the new back story, what sets this Lara Croft apart from previous iterations is that she doesn’t look like a sexy video game character: Her costume is practical and her style is more utilitarian.
