The Oscar-winning actress' Lara Croft has a new backstory. According to the report in Vanity Fair, 21-year-old Lara Croft refuses to take charge of the global empire her father set up before disappearing seven years ago. Lara is in college and works as a bike courier in London on the side. Something happens and Lara decides to investigate her father's disappearance starting at his last-known location: a tomb on an island somewhere off the coast of Japan.

Along with Vikander, the movie also stars Dominic West, Walton Goggins, and Daniel Wu.

Synopsis of the movie reads,

Suddenly, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Lara, who—against the odds and armed with only her sharp mind, blind faith and inherently stubborn spirit—must learn to push herself beyond her limits as she journeys into the unknown. If she survives this perilous adventure, it could be the making of her, earning her the name tomb raider.

Directed by Roar Uthaug, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is set to release on March 16, 2018.
