We’ve been waiting for this moment since Alicia Vikander first got cast as Lara Croft in the new Tomb Raider film, but we’ve finally got our first look at what she looks like in the role.

Of course, the role, based on the video game character, was famously played by Angelina Jolie in 2001, and they will be tough boots to fill.

But this movie will be about the origin story of Lara Croft, and her journey fighting to survive her first adventure.

Vikander told Uproxx that she was a big fan of the games as a kid.

I, with the rest of the world, was excited to see a female protagonist in a video game.” She admitted, “I was a bit scared playing it when I was 12, 13. I had to go take little breaks!”
