Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander – The two Lara Crofts of the real world
In 2001, Lara was first “realized” on screen with the performance of the beautiful Angelina Jolie in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. And since then, Lara’s image has also been associated with this hot actress.
Angelina Jolie is the embodiment of Lara Croft
In terms of appearance, Angelina meets all the “criteria” of the original Lara. She has a height of 1m69, a fiery body and seductive breasts. Jolie’s face also has many similarities with Lara’s face shape in many game versions with beautiful cat eyes and curvy, plump M-shaped lips.
Every body line, eyes and lips match Lara’s image in the game

Alicia Vikander, who will replace Angelina as Lara Croft after 14 years, is the complete opposite. This Swedish actress is 1m66 tall, not much shorter than Jolie. But the two have a big difference in appearance, Alicia has a small, slender frame. Her face also does not have sharp features but is more delicate and cute.
Alicia Vikander is probably the complete opposite of Angelina Jolie as well as the image of many previous Lara Crofts. But she is the most perfect model for Lara Croft in the game version Tomb Raider released in 2013.

In this game, with the application of mocap technology, Lara’s image has also become more realistic with a balanced first and second round ratio. Her face also doesn’t have a sexy look, but feels more cute. This is also the game version that the upcoming movie will be based on with content revolving around young Lara Croft, who does not have much combat experience.
Alicia Vikander bears a striking resemblance to Lara in the 2013 game.
In short, Angelina Jolie is the real version of Lara Croft in 8 games (from 1996 – 2008). Lara’s image during those 14 years is more seductive, sharp and a bit “busy” with huge breasts. Alicia Vikander is still a loyal Lara Croft to the game, it’s just a pity that her well-proportioned physical beauty… doesn’t attract the attention of longtime fans.
Both are faithful to the original, but the audience is more interested in the sharper, more seductive version of Lara
Regarding age, Angelina plays Lara at 26 years old and Alicia plays this role at 28 years old. Not only are they similar in age when they take on the role, both Angelina and Alicia are beautiful women who have won Oscars, so fans can rest assured about their acting abilities.
Jolie and Vikander’s versions of Lara Croft will be different in many ways such as development direction and character design. But at least let’s hope it won’t be an “error” version like Emilia Clarke did when transforming into Linda Hamilton’s iconic Sarah Connor.
The new Sarah Connor image also faced criticism when the new version of Emilia Clarke was not as strong and sharp as the original
