This is the beginning.
For the 28-year-old actress, starting from the beginning was a major pull for doing the film.
I was surprised that my mum knew whatTomb Raiderwas.
Thats due to the fact that Angelina Jolie made Lara Croft such an icon.
But this is a beautiful way of showing a very loved character from more angles.
(The Swedish actress won Best Supporting Actress in 2016 forThe Danish Girl.)
Im emotionally drawn to something thats very different from what Ive done before, she says.
Naturally that gives me an extra thrill.
Just like inThe Wave, we have a lot of water sequences, she says.
So come March 16, 2018, well get to watch Croft and Vikander basically sink or swim.
They threw me down that river with my hands tied about 50 times.
I didnt need to act, just react!
Vikander, also, feels fortified by the success of a recent female action hero onscreen.
I went to the cinema and sawWonder Womanthe other day.
And I wondered how many stories there have there been throughout the years that havent been told.
Because it needs to happen.
