Lara Croft, the iconic heroine of the Tomb Raider video games, has long been considered a feminist icon. Yet, the new series, Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, is the first time the games are being adapted by a female creator. Tomb Raider has been adapted into live-action movies three times in the past. Angeline Jolie was the first to portray the character on the big screen. The franchise was then given a big-screen reboot in 2018 when Alicia Vikander portrayed the updated iteration of Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, directed by Roar Uthaug.
