The first trailer for Tomb Raider, starring Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft, is here

On Tuesday, Warner Bros. and MGM shared the first official trailer for the 2018 Tomb Raider reboot starring Alicia Vikander as archaeologist Lara Croft.

Fans got their first official glimpse at Vikander as Croft on Monday when the film’s first poster dropped.

Vikander will portray Croft as an inexperienced 21-year-old who possesses none of the survival and exploration skills the character displayed in her previous film appearances, then portrayed by Angelina Jolie.

Jolie’s Croft was at the height of her career, wielded double uzis with skill, and was somewhat hardened by the way the events of her life had transpired.

By contrast, Vikander will take up the role as portrayed in the 2013 video game reboot—a young, unskilled, vulnerable Lara just beginning to learn her trade.

So what do we know about Lara’s origin story so far?

In the new film, we’ll learn that Croft’s father (played by Dominic West), an archaeologist, has died, which is what sparks her to set out on her mission to solve the mystery surrounding his death.

The trailer shows Lara at various stages of her journey to the island that was her father’s last known location, navigating a sinking boat, Indiana Jones-style booby traps, and other dangers.

She’s pictured carrying her main weapon from the game, a pickaxe; learning to use a bow and arrow; and being chased by an enemy—perhaps Walton Goggins, whom we know will play the villain in this film and who makes a brief (and ominous) appearance in the trailer.

The trailer itself, visually, feels very much like the game, which could be a great thing or a very bad one.

The two previous films were overly stylized and veered on cartoony; here is an opportunity for Lara’s story to receive the gritty, realistic treatment it deserves. Relying too much on effects could jolt viewers out of the experience.

But there’s no denying that the video game callbacks are also building anticipation.

At the end of the trailer, when Lara takes a running start on the wing of a sinking plane and makes a leap for the frame, she lets out the trademark, gutteral grunt that players of both the O.G. and rebooted game know and love.

There’s also the requisite shot of Lara slowly repelling into some sort of cavern (or TOMB?!).
