The franchise began in 2013, the next came up two years later in 2015 in the "Rise of the Tomb Raider." Now, Lara Croft is finally returning to the big screen, to be portrayed by Oscar-winning actress Alicia Vikander as official photos of her were released. According to Screen Rant, she is featured both in character an in costume as the famous heroine archaeologist.

Along with actress Alicia Vikander, there are a few more actors joining the upcoming "Tomb Raider" including Walton Goggins whose character is still being kept in secret.

Another actor to join the cast is Daniel Wu, to portray the role of one of Lara's allies and actor Dominic West as Lara's father.
