Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The most important aspect of the upcoming Prime Video adaptation of Tomb Raider will be finding the right actor to portray Lara Croft. The adventure hero has been a constant of video games since she debuted almost thirty years ago, and has even made it to the big screen twice. In the past, it was Angelina Jolie and then Alicia Vikander who took on the role, playing very different versions of the character.
Barrera could craft a Lara Croft who remains grounded despite the dangerous and supernatural elements around her. If the new series borrows from the modern Tomb Raider games, Barrera's experience in the horror genre would fit well into those game's more intense beats. Barrera has also shown off some action skills in movies like Abigail, suggesting she could adapt well to the inevitable thrills and adventures of a Tomb Raider adaptation.
Klementieff's approach to the distant Paris created a compelling cipher out of a potentially one-note antagonist. She brings enough charm and confidence to Paris to make sure she remains compelling even while remaining a dangerous figure. It's a skill that Klementieff could easily bring to Lara Croft, imbuing the character with a cool edge that would be fitting for the classic iteration of the character.

One way of potentially addressing this would be to add a different ethnicity to the character, such as making her Indian or British-Indian.
