The last time we saw Tomb Raider on the big screen, Angelina Jolie played the titular character, starring as Croft in both 2001’s Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and 2003’s Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life.
After months of speculation, Alicia Vikander’s appointment as the new Lara Croft in Tomb Raider was welcomed with open arms (despite some fans wishing Daisy Ridley got the role).
The March 2018 date was previously saved for an untitled DC film, thought to be The Flash, yet the studio has so far not offered a release date for that film.
Finally, the film has a released date, and it’s a little later than the expected 2017 release date.
