Daisy Ridley is reportedly considered to headline the untitled Tomb Raider reboot. According to Deadline, the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" actress is eyed to play the kickass female archeologist Lara Croft in the revamped version.

Based on a popular video game of the same name, the Lara Croft saga was first turned into the big screen in 2001. It was followed by a sequel "Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life" in 2003. The heroine was played by Angelina Jolie.

Editors' Pick

Roar Uthaug is tapped as director and Geneva Robertson-Dworet is hired to write the script. The storyline is still unclear but the remake is expected to focus on Lara Croft's origin story. It seems to follow in the footstep of the video game which also got rebooted in 2013 by depicting her first adventure as an archaeology student.
