Rumor is that Daisy Ridley is being considered to play Lara Croft in a Tomb Raider film.

This is... insane. Judging by her performance as Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, she is a poor actress and lacks the charisma and presence necessary to effectively portray the iconic Tomb Raider. Ridley is also an obvious mismatch in terms of physique: She is waif-thin with tiny breasts.

Never thought I'd say this, but... Lara Croft needs saving! You can help by promoting better choices for the role wherever you see this rumor being discussed online.

My current preference for the role is the talented and lovely Lauren Cohan. She plays sophisticated and sexy with ease: See her role as clever rogue Bella Talbot in the third season of Supernatural. She's also capable of credible toughness: See her role as survivor Maggie Greene in The Walking Dead. Last, but equally important, she looks the part: See the pictures attached to this post.

I'd be there opening day for Tomb Raider starring Lauren Cohan. How about you? Got a better pick?

The issue is - who could carry a Lara Croft off? (would fans prefer someone who could physically look like Lara ie -- da boobs or some stick woman who can act?). What actress with boobs could do it? (lets face it.. the marketing material for Lara Croft always had a leading lady who for better or worse has a decent top carriage....) --- no ideas here :/

Lara Croft has always struck me as being rather distant and lacking in charisma. She's barely any deeper than Doom guy or Postal Dude.

I think the better thing to be upset about is that she's not really stacked enough to do the character justice.

Is Pamela Anderson not available? Or was she unwilling to accept the dye job?

Could be worse.

And at least Daisy IS ENGLISH!!!!! Vast improvement over the last casting. :P
I prefer an actress who looks like she could physically pull off the action stuff.

I'm gonna vote for Lucy Lawless.
Agent Tanya from "Red Alert" :D

Lara Croft needs saving...?

From what ?

Why are you so emotionally invested in a FICTIONAL CHARACTER ? very pathetic and foolish.

I find it funny how you give hope to people by saying that one can promote better choice. No you can't.

Hollywood will pick whoever it wants to pick. Your opinion is irrelevant.

If "boobs" and "English" are the only criteria... I'd suggest Lucy Pinder. ;)

But I'd like it to be a good movie, so I'd prefer Lauren Cohan. :P

I don't know about older ones but the 2013 game had flat Lara croft. (A bit like daisy ridley) So its not surprising they'd do the same to movie one.

I hate this choice as well but there's not much we can do.

How about Rowan Atkinson? He's English and a bit of a boob.

How about Sophie Dee?
Most enhanced Welsh Lara Croft ever!!! ;P

Of all the people in the world...THIS is the one you think needs saving? #FirstWorldProblems
