Netflix’s first teaser for Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft picks up the story of the video game heroine 25 years after the video game Survivor trilogy (Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider). The streamer’s trailer was accompanied by more details on the series, along with three stills from the animated series.
Hayley Atwell voices Lara Croft, Allen Maldonado voices Zip, and Earl Baylon reprises his role as Jonah from the video games.
“More than 25 years after her first appearance, Lara Croft (voiced by Hayley Atwell) continues to explore ancient mysteries and uncover lost truths across breathtaking and dangerous destinations,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “Following the events of the Survivor series, Lara Croft has abandoned her friends to embark on increasingly more perilous solo adventures. But she must return home when a dangerous and powerful Chinese artifact is stolen from Croft Manor by a thief with an uncanny personal connection. Her daring pursuit will take her on an adventure around the world and to the depths of forgotten tombs, where she will be forced to confront her true self and decide just what kind of hero she wants to become.”
Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft will premiere on October 10, 2024.
