Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft (News and Discussion Thread)

[Classic Speedy]

Looks like the show will deliver on the action. I only hope it's not 100% deadly serious. Hopefully we get some of Lara's British wit in here, which was unfortunately largely absent in the Survivor games.

Really seems like they're planning to dive deep into Lara's character as she develops into her iconic self along with all the usual fun easter eggs .

Oooh, they did bring in the supernatural elements from the games. Dual guns. I might check this out after all.

New trailer is out.

I love how they treat her using her iconic dual pistols as the most major moment to end the trailer on. Admittedly seeing her fighting so much with the bow I was wondering myself if we'd actually get to see her use them .

Is that Raza Jaffrey I hear as the main villain ?

Love Lara kicking butt in a dress !

It wouldn't be Tomb Raider if she didn't go under water and fight killer animals .

From the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:

"Second Season For Netflix’s Tomb Raider Show Confirmed"​

"It looks like Netflix’s Tomb Raider: The Legend Of Lara Croft is not a one-off. The streamer confirmed today that a second season of the show is now in development. Hayley Atwell (Agent Carter) will continue to voice the title character, the world-saving death-defying archaeologist and nepo baby.

This is the rare renewal announcement in which I have actually watched the entire season prior to hearing it. So I can confirm that, while Season One could have stood alone as a complete story, there is a little teaser at the end jump-starting Lara’s next adventure, which hinges on one of the unresolved plot threads."

Hopefully it will be a vast improvement over season one.

Knowing what I know about Netflix, I'm going to assume this second season was already ordered for production...
