There are sometimes in Hollywood that if you bide your time long enough, the things you wish for can come true, and eight years after she expressed an interest in playing Lara Croft in the reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise, Hayley Atwell is to voice the character in Netflix’s new anime series based on the ever popular archaeological adventurer.
“Tomb Raider is a new anime series from @Legendary following Lara Croft after the events of the video-game reboot trilogy.”
Back in 2013, when a new live action reboot of the Lara Croft series was just starting production, a number of social media users had suggested Atwell for the role.
As it turned out, when the Tomb Raider movie did roll out, it was newcomer Alicia Vikander in the lead role.
