Megan Fox may be replacing Angelina Jolie in a new Tomb Raider movie. Warner Brothers has plans to completely revamp the series including a new origin for Lara Croft that will possibly stray from her English aristocracy roots
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the third film will completely reboot the video-game-based character, including changing her origin story (most likely shying away from her English aristocracy roots), and introduce new kinds of missions, love interests and villains.
And, most notably, a new leading lady.
While producers say an actress likely won’t be cast until a writer and director have signed on, Fox has emerged as the frontrunner replacement, at least as far as the blogosphere is concerned.
This will be a tough sell to the few die hard Tomb Raider video game fans left. Changing Lara Croft’s origin would be like making a movie about Super Mario Brothers but saying they won’t be plumbers anymore.
