Jaimie Alexander Further Discusses Tomb Raider And Expresses Interest In Returning As Sif In Future Marvel Films

I loved playing Sif. She’s definitely one of my favorite characters I’ve ever taken on, and I would be delighted to be in more Marvel films playing her. It was such good experience that I could only wish to do that again, and I think there’s a strong possibility that that could happen. Fingers crossed! I have no problem with that. I don’t see a downside at all. I think we’re blessed as actors to be working like we are and with the people we work with. I would take a sequel as a tremendous, tremendous blessing that I would welcome with open arms.

I would love to pursue Lara Croft. And the thing is, you know, I’m not going to try and be Angelina Jolie. She’s her own woman, and she did a fantastic job as Lara Croft. If that opportunity arises for me, then I would put my own spin on Lara Croft. There’s no way I would try and copy what she did. I think that’s a huge mistake with actors and actresses who are taking on a role that was previously done by someone else.

Well, let’s use Angelina Jolie as an example. She has her own sex appeal. She’s built very differently than I am. She’s her own woman. And I think that if you try to mimic that — if I was trying to pull off the exact way she said certain things and how she carried herself — then that’s not being me. That’s just copying another actor. Whereas you can look to other actors for inspiration, you should still maintain your own identity through a character. And that’s something I would love to tackle.
