Nah they'll make her a black lesbian or something
All terrible. Sydney Sweeney maybe, though she's not British and I'd need to hear her accent. Just get Kate Beckinsale and make a movie about an old weary Lara.
>Just get Kate Beckinsale and make a movie about an old weary Lara.
huh why not. better than another ""origin"" story that's for sure.
That was a plus about Jolie despite her being America, her accent was very good.
this woman peaked in Hackers, it was downhill after that
Her accent was okay, not terrible, but just okay. There whole thing was lost on that 90s overstylisation too. Even the OTT Top Cow comics got the character better than any of the films.
Her accent was barely passable.
Still better than nu-lora.
>lora
Lara, not Lora
No it's lora now, because for some reason that's how Americans pronounce it, and now that includes lora herself.
Nobody gives a shit what merkins think, buddy
her body wasnt bad 20 years ago. female aging is a curse.
I've always wondered who the stunt actress was in this scene, especially at the 0:11 mark where she does multiple back handsprings in a row, followed by a backflip while drawing two pistols at the same time then firing. Such a frickin cool stunt.
Kate Beckinsale looks perfect for Lara, she could have played her for 20 years already.
And a MILF Lara would be great too, definitely better than their obsession with rebooting her as a little girl all the time.
in 2024, she has the post wall look to her face and head. shes super sexy in underworld but today, shes too post wall roastie skull shape.
Okay here me out, MILF Lara and her 20 year old daughter go out looking for treasure in skimpy outfits, hijinks ensue, lots of sweat, tight revealing outfits, and boobs, lots of boobs.
>Kate Beckinsale looks perfect for Lara
Now post her current overly bogged self.
petition to make Lara Croft with a butt instead of big heckn boobers
she always had a firm butt, not flabby
seconded
I imagine large breast would hinder a woman's ability in combat and adventure the stuff Lara Croft regularly does.
Well it doesn't hinder her in the games.
What she should be is actually athletic, but that just doesn't seem to be an option in female Hollywood casting.
Wow, not a single attractive female.
Neiiigh!
Normal words but a Lara Croft
Jesus that's an awful list. Did you make this up? Daisy Edgar-Jones would have my vote though even if she's lacking in the chest area.
Daisy Ridley was the contender for the 2018 movie before they snagged Vikander. Lara will be flat from now on.
>Vikander
awful actress and awful ''''''dark'''''' and ''''''gritty'''''' movie targeted for a woke crowd
It’s on par with Ghostbusters 2016 for being a terrible woke reboot.
How the frick was it woke?
Hard to watch it while asleep.
the majority of those listed are way too old for the role. even jolie was younger than most of those when she made the first one. vikander also didn't work because she was more linda hamilton than angelina jolie. the role only requires minimal acting skills, the actress has to have strong presence and visuals to carry the movie. no one on that list hits all the marks.
Too long a list to be plausible
thats literally just a list of all working actress' in general. but yeah, nothing good right now in the pool.
None of the big tiddies girls will be considered.
it's gonna be feminist drivel
2018 reboot movie was already feminist slop
How?
coom raider
They’ll just recast flat chested Vikander from that failed reboot a few years back because we can't have a big tiddy archeologist in a current woke world
>>Mila Kunis
>Lara Croft
Not a chance. She’s also too flat and she’ll just use her same Meg Griffin voice she used in any other project’s she starred in rather than attempting a British accent
>”WHERE IS MY MOTHER!?!”
>”…shut up Meg”
>Shut up Lara
It makes as much sense as having her play Sue Storm. It just does not work
Hope it has a talking horse
who speaks normal words
That five second joke made bojack cucks seethe and they couldn’t recover since
Holy crap Lois, it’s normal words but a horse guy
Sweeney
At some point, her boobs would get in the way of her being a successful Tomb Raider. So her being one would not be realistic
Tomb Raider franchise was built on boobs
The right size boobs. Sweeneys are too big. Try doing anything athletic with big boobs.
When they try is the best thing. I would pay to watch her struggle with her sweaty boobs for 2 hours.
Not him but me too. Sydney Sweeney needs to also have a British accent despite being American and Jolie flawlessly nailed it in two of her movies
>Jolie flawlessly nailed it in two of her movies
she did lol. even in 2024, she was really fit for the rol. That Vikander tried her best but the movie was lacking something.
>wahh bewbs r too big
shut the frick up you fricking homosexual
you effeminate little prick cornstarch and xenoestrogen chugging worm who is not fit to lick my boots
literally just shut the frick up i hate that society is run by people like you
you are everything wrong with this country you pitiful cuck and you and all your kind will be purged. we will show no mercy, c**t. count your days
Shut up lefty
>Sweeneys are too big.
I will fricking kill you and everyone like you
I hope for your sake you invested in guns because the culture has shifted and your kind aren't safe anymore
Frick around and find out, c**t
nah, but her face is busted.
>Sweeneys are too big
gay and wrong, you're fooling nobody you ugly troony
You will never be a woman
Did you just Google "female" actors or some bullshit
Atwell
The only acceptable option on that list.
I like Wilde & Boutella alot but vastly vastly too flat chested.
wayyyyyy too fricking old
anything but ayy lmaor joy
>Phoebe Waller-Bridge (the showrunner and writer herself)
into the trash it goes
Bump
im gonna watch it just because of her. shes an amazing writer
I'd give it to this wench from Skins and the pirates movie. She's British, hot, nice breasts, sexy voice, train her to do some athletic shit in the action scenes and you're good to go
She was great in Crawl but I heard she sucked in the failed Resident Evil reboot.
she's brazillian
she has an annoying look on her face that all modern females have.
regardless who they cast if they pull a madame web and go female-skew in terms of target demo this is doa
Like they did before in that awful 2018 reboot. This is why Hollywood died long ago and they’re not going to survive in a couple years
>Hayley Atwell
Could work. She's British, looks the part, is familiar with more physical acting, and has a frickin killer rack.
isn't she too old for that part?
Not really. She can nail it in a heartbeat
Sydney can also nail her performance if she does emulate a British accent. So far, she has the looks
Sydney has a long way to go until she can lever her big chest into an undisputed queen of blockbusters title. Madam Web certainly didnt help.
True. I just hope her career recovers after Madame Web
Jolie was the perfect Lara Croft not because of any physical resemblance but because she embodied at that time the peak alpha Hollywood female. It couldnt be any other than Angelina Jolie being Lara Croft or Brad Pitt's wife. She was the undisputed queen of Hollywood.
Atwell and Sidney might have the breasts, but they dont have that alpha woman status. Sidney might eventually if she plays her card well. But not right now.
Scarlet Johansson and Megan Fox had the same status for a brief period of time. Currently no woman dominates the others so easily.
>Sidney might eventually if she plays her card well
she wont lol. like all zoomer girls, she will hit the wall way too fricking hard.
>Megan Fox
I’ll never forget the late-2000s and how kino she was in the first two Bayformers
Why are almost none of them even British?
Even the game voice has an American accent now
And none of them would fit. Rhona Mitra was the original Lara Croft promo model and she'd still be one of the only real choices today if magical de-aging tech existed. And she's an ex-Roedean girl.
So here's the solution: go to the source.
>Be Tomb Raider producer
>Go to one of the Britiish posh girls' schools: Roedean or Gordonstoun itself (Lara's old school according to canon)
>Pick one of the myriad fit outdoorsy/sporty attractive upper class babes there with the typical cut-glass accent
>Cast her as Lara. Original young Lara, not the Katniss Everdeen ripoff of the recent remakes.
There's just no imitatiing the accent, attitude and behaviour with any current actress. Jolie wasn't that good and Vikander was playing the poverty porn Katniss imitation. You're looking for a new Mrs. Peel, not some arrow-slinging oik.
There will never be another 2000s ever. The 90s and 2000s perfectly captured lightning in a bottle for the Lara Croft character. A lot of zoomers will only know her from being a total Great Value brand Nathan Drake/Katniss in a ripoff of Battle Royale, Alien or Saw. There is sadly no future for this character. It’s best it stays dead as a relic of nostalgia
>Rhona Mitra
she post wall af. saw her nude leaks a few year ago and it was a turn off.
Who cares? Lara Croft died by the mid-2010s.
Sweeney
I guess if big breasts are the only requirement (and you know not being Bri*ish), then why not Grace Caroline Curvy?
she is physically perfect for the role
>Aubrey Plaza
>Mila Kunis
Are the only two I'd be slightly interested in watching, but 10 years ago.
Sweeny fine, just to see her breasts bouncing as she runs
Hope they go back to the more mercenary attitude Lara had. The movies had her leaning towards mere heroism more than she was depicted as being in the original games. She could be a real c**t sometimes in comics and games, but I suppose that won't do for a movie heroine.
I liked Jolie's Tomb Raider movies a lot actually. Perfect casting.
>Phoebe Waller-Bridge (the showrunner and writer herself)
lmao
I'm too drunk to look up her name but just let the video game b***h do it shes perfect. Luddy something.
That's whiny Katniss-ripoff Lara though. We want the violent athletic pinup model
It's 2024. You get flat chested vikander
Except no. The sequel to it was cancelled two years ago. Vikander is not reprising her role. Thank god for that
Where can I read the Tomb Raider comics? I remember them having really nice art.

Just get Keeley Hawes. Simple
>Just get Keeley Hawes.
Keeley Hazell, right?
>Sydney
overexposed
>Ella
yes
>Hayley
aged out (not "too old" as in not still a 10/10, but she could not play Lara for a decade like these studios need
>KStew
Nah
>Juno
bogged
>Olivia Wilde
bogged and aged out
>Daisy Ridley
Would work
>Daisy Edgar-Jones
>Souhelia Yacoub
never heard of her
>Cailee Spaeny
still has the face of a kid, no
>Aubrey Plaza
>Mila Kunis
C-listers
>ATJ
would never do it
>Chloe Fineman
who?
>Sofia Boutella
looks nothing like Lara and this isn't something they should try racebending with. Also too old
>Lily James
personally I think she looks too cute for an action lead.
>Camila
see above regarding racebending. and I am totally fine changing a character's race when it doesn't matter.
>Rachel Sennott
looks like a random college student. Not an adventurer
>Hailee Steinfeld
could work
>Dakota Johnson
0% chance after Madame Web
>Margot Robbie
overexposed
I think I'd like seeing some new talent. I bet there are some girls who could play an amazing mid-20s Lara who we've never heard of. Off the top of my head,
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8109082/
this girl from How to Blank a Pipeline. I could totally see her playing the role, and maybe you get a big name as a supporting character.
Updates
>Daisy Edgar-Jones
Heard of her but forgot what she looked like. Ugly.
>Chloe Fineman
Not bad but no
>Souhelia Yacoub
She could definitely do it
>aged out (not "too old" as in not still a 10/10, but she could not play Lara for a decade like these studios need
Haley Atwell is voicing Lara in the upcoming anime show. ...written by the nepo babbie Waller-Bridges.
Ok. That's fine. But there's a big difference between voicing a character and playing them in live-action.
Is there a reason they're bad picks? Other than "muh breasts". Everyone here should realize they're not gonna cast based on tit size.
Going from movies to TV. It's not something actors do if they can help it, traditionally. But I'd be fine with her in the role.
>Daisy Ridley
>Hailee Steinfeld
>Would work
Lmao
ATJ is doing Furiosa, she'd definitely be up for doing Tomb Raider if that movie doesn't flop
I approve Lily James, Lara has to be britbong and she seems physically good for the role unlike like some womanlet chunky goblinas on that list
Sofia Boutela as 2nd option maybe, but not too convincing
just recast Angelina Jolie
Just get Sweeney or the big titted chick from that horrible Shazam film, they're both brunettes with big breasts.
Don't know, don't care. Angelina Jolie is the only Lara Croft. I loved those movies. Truly mementos of a better, normal time. Women had their own James Bond and men didn't have a single problem with it and even loved it more. No one cared that she was a woman, she was hot and fun and a feminine "uberfraun" and everyone loved it. Leave it alone. You can't top perfection which is that casting. It's Pierce Brosnan as James Bond.
Let's not pretend Lara Croft wasn't a character designed for and by men. Literally because they saw dudes at a Virtua Fighter cabinet picking the girls every time.
>You can't top perfection which is that casting. It's Pierce Brosnan as James Bond.
1) Not everyone thinks Pierce is the best Bond.
2) You're being unrealistic. Yes Jolie was good casting, but she's over 50 now. You either cast someone else, or you don't ever bring Tomb Raider to live-action again.
BTW, I suspect if the Lara Croft character was made today it WOULD be getting called "woke" and trashed by Cinemaphile.
Her appearance was designed by a man but she was written by a woman in the original games.
I didn't say anything about bringing back Jolie. She was for men by men but women like her enough, it would seem. She was perfectly received by both sexes.
It should be a British actress.
Shame Guillory never happened.
Why are there no fit actresses?
Rhona Rhona Rhona
Anon Rhona Mitra isn't even the correct race
Rhona was an official Lara model.
>Pussy almost visible
Hnnnnnnng
The best live-action Lara.
Completely agreed, anon-
>2008
Oh. Blimey, time flies. She's 38 now.
Technically she was never replaced as they stopped using promotional models completely, thanks to the reboot.
>Phoebe Waller-Bridge (the showrunner and writer herself)
Somehow still the best choice out of all those
It doesn't matter. Since 2010 this franchise has been in the hands of people who hate the Lara Croft character. It's been dead for 15 years.
They need a a female Arnold (muscular/fit, unknown, can act).
Only two of these have the breasts to pull it off, Sydney and Hayley. But I can't see Sydney doing the accent, and I can't see Hayley doing the lightest of stunts. Terrible list.
Of course, the whole is guaranteed to be a gigantic intersectional shitbucket thanks to Waller-Bridge running the show, so it literally doesn't matter who plays Lara.
>Phoebe Waller-Bridge (the showrunner and writer herself)
So misandrist girlboss trash?
