Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft

The animated series, The Legend of Lara Croft, marks the continuation of Lara Croft’s adventures. Here is an overview of everything we currently know about this exciting new show.

One of the most iconic female protagonists in both video games and film is Lara Croft. In 2001, Angelina Jolie took on the role in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and gained a devoted following, which resulted in a sequel in 2003. Despite fans’ disappointment, the franchise came to an end, but a new adaptation was released in 2018 with Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft. And now, the franchise is set for another reboot.

Lara Croft is a British archaeologist who, with the support of her wealthy father, puts her life on the line to search for lost artifacts and break into perilous tombs. She has saved the world multiple times, and while Angelina Jolie’s portrayal in the 2001-2008 video game adaptations was iconic, Alicia Vikander’s depiction in the 2013 version also captured audiences’ attention.

Netflix has announced that Tomb Raider fans will soon have a new adaptation of the iconic character in the form of an anime. The announcement was made during the streaming platform’s Drop 01 livestream event and we have all the details about it.
