(Alicia Vikander [Ex Machina, the Man from UNCLE, the Danish Girl] as Lara Croft, Director Roar Uthaug [the Wave], Genre -  Action Adventure, History, Supernatural)

~ With this set to be the English language blockbuster debut for a Norwegian thriller director of the recent solid the Wave with a Swedish actress having her breakout year yesteryear with three vastly different roles of each other and a coveted Academy award for one of them which would add more credibility where it needed, more than able to kickstart the movie franchise again as the recent successful reiteration of the game franchise proved its recent appeal to the consumers although it is a foreign territory for both of them

+ A recent successful reboot of the renowned game franchise with a more realistic younger Lara Croft at the start of her tomb-raiding adventures with its personal impact and repercussions physically and mentally

+ The mainstream movie audiences are mainly still oblivious to recent change of direction the franchise is taking which gained critical acclaims and praise from the gaming community by removing itself from the original's infamous portrayal of female lead that is highly unrealistic and heavily sexualized, resulted from the outdated mindset of yesteryears to pander on the early predominantly male game audiences

+ Surprising but nevertheless an appropriate pick of Alicia Vikander to portray the adventurous main protagonist, with a proven track record especially considering last year's big break for her making her a non-obvious choice but the best bet yet to lead the silver screen revival as her ballet background could make up for her physical-light career so far
