Kaya Scodelario Responds To Recent TOMB RAIDER Rumors
Skins star Kaya Scodelario has now responded to the "rumor" that she's been cast in the planned Tomb Raider reboot as a younger Lara Croft. Would she be interested in the role? Hit the jump to find out!
In a recent interview with Total Film, Clash of the Titans, Moon and Skins star Kaya Scodelario was asked about some recent rumours which found their way online about her playing a younger Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot. "I don’t know where the [frick] that’s come from! Imagine having to take over from Angelina Jolie – you just couldn’t, could you? My auntie rang me up and was like, ‘Kaya, I’ve just seen on Google that...’ I’d literally not heard a whisper about that, at all." Obviously not true then, but there's no denying that the actress is pretty much perfect for the fresh take on the character, especially if it's based one the recent video game remake. So, would Scodelario actually be interested in the role? "A little bit. That would be quite fun. Give me a couple of years to get my fitness up first, and then maybe I’ll tackle that one, but I’ve no idea where that’s come from at all." What do you guys think?
