Inspired by the 2013 reboot of the long-running video game series, "Tomb Raider" is characterized as an origin story that introduces a 21-year-old Lara who, seven years after the disappearance of her father, has refused to take over the family's global business empire. Instead she works as a bike courier in London while attending school. However, she's eventually spurred to investigate her father's disappearance, and heads to his last known location -- a tomb on an island off the coast of Japan.

Vikander of course succeeds Angelina Jolie as iconic video-game heroine Lara Croft, a role she originated in the 2001 action-adventure "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" and reprised in the 2003 sequel "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider -- The Cradle of Life." The films grossed a combined $431 million worldwide.

Directed by Norwegian filmmaker Roar Uthaug ("The Wave"), "Tomb Raider" also stars Dominic West, Walton Goggins and Daniel Wu. The film opens March 16, 2018.
