As MGM and Warner Bros. Tomb Raider reboot rounds out its cast, the latest addition is British actor Dominic West (The Wire, Pride, The Affair), who will be most familiar to CBMers for his OTT turn as Jigsaw in Punisher: Warzone.

West will play Lara Croft's father Richard, who will seemingly play an integral part in the plot, as THR reports that the film will follow Lara on her "first expedition to finish her father's research and uncover ancient secrets in order to clear his disgraced name."

Tomb Raider stars Alicia Vikander in the lead role of Lara Croft, and will also feature Walton Goggins and Daniel Wu. Find out if this is the one that finally breaks the video game movie curse on March 16, 2018.

With all of these game movies flopping, surely it's time to do a TV series. Imagine weekly episodes of Lara going on adventures. Even Hooten and the Lady was a fun show about globe trotting Treasure Hunters.

@SimplyAz - Tia Carrere basically did this in the show Relic Hunter from '99-'02. Sure it wasn't Lara Croft, but you could tell it was heavily influenced by it and Indiana Jones. Here's the IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0207919/?ref_=nm_knf_i4

It wasn't a bad show for a syndicated program. I agree though with todays TV production standards it would be a great series.
