On the heels of yesterday's poster, the first trailer for the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot is now online thanks to one of the movie's stars, Daniel Wu.
It's really more of a teaser than a full-lenght trailer, but we do get to see plenty of Alicia Vikander in action as a younger interpretation of iconic video game heroine, Lara Croft.
Check it out below along with a detailed synopsis and let us know what you think in the usual place.
Tomb Raider also stars Walton Goggins, Hannah John-Kamen and Dominic West, and is set to hit theaters on March 16, 2018.
UPDATE: Apparently there will also be a longer version of the trailer later tonight, so keep an eye out for that.
Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished when she was scarcely a teen. Now a young woman of 21 without any real focus or purpose, Lara navigates the chaotic streets of trendy East London as a bike courier, barely making the rent, and takes college courses, rarely making it to class. Determined to forge her own path, she refuses to take the reins of her father’s global empire just as staunchly as she rejects the idea that he’s truly gone. Advised to face the facts and move forward after seven years without him, even Lara can’t understand what drives her to finally solve the puzzle of his mysterious death.
Going explicitly against his final wishes, she leaves everything she knows behind in search of her dad’s last-known destination: a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan. But her mission will not be an easy one; just reaching the island will be extremely treacherous. Suddenly, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Lara, who—against the odds and armed with only her sharp mind, blind faith and inherently stubborn spirit—must learn to push herself beyond her limits as she journeys into the unknown. If she survives this perilous adventure, it could be the making of her, earning her the name tomb raider.
