Tomb Raider star Alicia Vikander recently revealed that she is open to portraying Lara Croft in any possible future films.
The Oscar-winning actress is set to play the iconic character in Tomb Raider, 15 years after Angelina Jolie last played the character on screen.
Speaking at the European premiere of the movie Vikander asserted, “We’re here to finally release the film but with these films it’s all about if we have an audience that want more but of course it would be fun to revisit the character.”
The story follows Croft leaving her job as a bike courier in London to search for her dead father’s last known destination, a fabled tomb on an island. Dominic West plays the archaeologist father in the origin story which stars Kristin Scott Thomas, Walton Goggins, Jaime Winstone and Nick Frost as well.
Producer Graham King echoed Vikander’s words on any possibility of any future Tomb Raider films, he said, “It all depends on how many people show up and go and see the film right.” He added, “I didn’t buy this for a one-off so I’m hoping we create a franchise. I don’t think we hide what we want to do in the movie.”
Tomb Raider is set to release on March 16, 2018.
