      Editing … I don't quite buy her as an action movie lead, such a tiny girl. I don't know why Hollywood can't just tell women to bulk up for a role the same way they do men.

      Editing … She doesn't look any scrawnier than 2013 Lara, and 1996 Lara was built like a Barbie doll. Jolie didn't exactly go Linda Hamilton either.

      Editing … Jfc, the comment section for that trailer. Yeah, keep tying the hands of studios in their casting choices because your highest priority in seeing games adapted to film is adding to your spank bank. You know I'll bet everyone can find at least one porn parody featuring their ideal female body type. Can the rest of us have someone who can, y'know ACT?

      Editing … Deleted my earlier posts because I thought they were too ranty but I'm sure there are hundreds of strong and fit aspiring woman actors who would jump at a role like this. It is studios who tie their own hands. They're the ones who self-impose restrictions on the type of women they will cast based on outdated notions of beauty. On the subject of ideal body type, this girl represents Hollywood's ideal body type. This casting choice was made because they think this will add to more spank banks than someone who looks heroic or looks like she could hold her own in a fight.

      Editing … free fall, none of what you said invalidates my claim that those shrieking "Where are her tits?!?!?!" are goddamn idiots who deserve Uwe Boll tier drek we've gotten up until now and ought to take their masturbatory fantasies elsewhere if there is any hope of one of these films being half decent before we expire. Also, I'll say it again, Vikander isn't any scrawnier than any game depiction of Lara Croft, and if we're nitpicking athleticism, Vikander's delts and abs are sculpted as fuck. 2013 Lara also doesn't brawl like previous incarnations. She spends the game sticking to stealth, guns, hatchets in the face, and climbing shit in desperate need of repair, for all of which, broad shoulders and a big frame are optional. Also, look at actors like Iko Uwais, particularly when he gets nekkid in the Raid 2. He's in excellent shape but he's not a big guy. That doesn't stop him from pulling off the wildest action sequences ever put to film. Looks can be deceiving.

      Editing … I guess I'll see what I think if I see the movie but based on the trailer she looks like a kid. I thought the 2013 Lara was a little fitter maybe but I had problems with that Lara too. Maybe the plot of the movie will follow the 2013 game so she'll be a younger Lara. I do agree that people who just want her tits miss the point of the character, but to me the point of Lara is that she's a strong, capable woman, a true 'adult,' somebody I can look up to. In that respect I think the casting missed the mark, I don't get that vibe at all watching this trailer. Maybe bulking up some more would help with that, or maybe it wouldn't, but my point was that they cast her for superficial reasons too, some fanboys just want actresses with big tits and Hollywood just wants actresses with baby faces and skinny nonthreatening physiques.

      Editing … I think they are going along with the game, which was about her transformation from inexperienced thrill-seeker to hardened adventurer. That would explain the casting choice I imagine

      Editing … The only films I've seen her in are Ex Machina and the Man from U.N.C.L.E., which isn't really enough to fairly judge her talent, but based on pedigree I'd say she's an ideal casting choice. She's the right age, has bagged major awards, isn't a HUGE star so she's likely easier to afford for a riskier project, and is a trained dancer, which doesn't hurt when it comes to training for stunts. If this weren't a video game adaptation, that trailer would tell me this movie has every chance of succeeding. I'm certainly always happy to see Walton Goggins' goofy mug.
