​@@rochskier Agreed. Linda Hamilton, even in 1984, had a woman's screen presence, not a girl's. Emilia Clarke is girlish. She has young looks and a high pitched, girly voice, which meant she looked and sounded like a child in Terminator: Genisys. That's even though she was roughly the same age as Linda Hamilton was when she played Sarah in the original film. Terrible casting. I feel badly for her, because she's a decent actress (unlike Sophie Turner, whose ubiquitous presence in celebrity gossip columns and continued presence in movies and TV shows I just fail to understand) who deserves roles better suited to her. Dany was an outlier role for someone like Emilia Clarke - a once-in-a-career character.

Apart from that Turner really has little range as an actress. She was mildly bland in GOT. Horribly miscast as Jean Grey and strangely enough when I picture LC I still think of Angelina Jolie or even the last chick that was cast in that film based on the new games. Seriously though this casting is a joke. Hayley Atwell would've been considerably better.

Say what you want about Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life. They were pretty abysmal movies but Jolie was flawless as Croft. Absolutely flawless. Looks, acting, amazing charisma and nailing the character to perfection. They'll never find anyone to top her as Croft.

Yeah, the physical resemblance is uncanny.

[@garethbattersby]

The problem why Lara Croft wont work is the character is designed to be a sexy action hero. Theyll take the sexiness away to appease "modern audiences" that pretty much kills 90% of the buzz. Theyll then make it drawn out and dull which will eliminate another 5% of those left and instead of Lara Croft being charming, witty and desirable theyll make her an insufferable girl boss who will belittle every single man she comes across. This will take away anyone else left.

[@MikePhillips-x6m]

I agree modern day Lara Croft makes her comes across dull and boring.

There IS one GoT actress who could pull off Lara Croft... she was also in one of the Hunger Games movies.. Natalie Dormer

[@fgrinda]

Emily Blunt would be a much better pick. She can be classy and badass. From Game of Thrones Rose Leslie (who plays Ygritte) would be a much better choice. She's wise cracking, charismatic, and more athletic than Sophie Turner (Sansa).

Gwendoline Christie, who played Brienne of Tarth in Game Of Thrones, actually did a great job in Netfilx, playing the principal in "Wednesday" and Lucifer in "The Sandman". Great actor, besides her huge size.

[@exhaustguy]

Wonder if they should have gone with her in green makeup as She Hulk (would find a smaller actor with similar facial features for non-Hulk Jennifer). The show should have spent money on the writing and just have She Hulk when required. Don't need CGI for everything especially a streaming series that should be done on a budget.

[@kaveiros75]

@@kaveiros75 - She is a good character in the comics. Obviously Gao and the gang should never have been involved. It came back to the writing and undisciplined producing.

[@jamescarr1265]

She is supposed to be very nice in real life too. By all accounts a talented actress and a lovely lady.

[@Bonko78]

If you're producing a LaraCroft movie, the order of priority for necessary traits in an actress should be: 1) Confidence. She makes her own fate, doesn't take crap. 2) Brown Hair With A Braid. Can be dyed but still vital. 3) Athleticism. Must convincingly climb a rope or do martial arts. 4) Lips and Eyebrows. For the classic look. 5) Boobs. Nothing wrong with a busty actress to complete the classic silhouette. In my opinion none of the casting choices have more than 2 of these traits. Here is my quick list: The "Too Old But Gold" category: Hailey Atwell, Rebecca Ferguson, Kate Beckinsale. Here is a more realistic shortlist: Eiza Gonzalez, Grace Caroline Curry, Alexandra Daddario, Kaya Scodelario. And although they are blondes, I think Vanessa Kirby or Jodie Comer would work.

[@jamescarr1265]

Evangeline Lilly in the 2000s and perhaps Eliza Dushku in the 2000s would suit as well

Having not seen any of the tv shows that Richard Madden starred in post-GOT, it is my opinion that the biggest and best role he had post-GOT was as Prince Kit (i.e., Prince Charming) in Disney’s live-action remake of Cinderella. Even though a Disney fairytale might be considered a step down from the gritty fantasy of GOT, Cinderella (2015) is considered one of - if not the - only good Disney live-action remakes. However, it is probably how Disney got the inside line to wrangle him into doing The Eternals, so maybe it was a bad choice after all.

She's not a good actress, like Drinker said, " she's got the charisma of a wet bag," and physically, she doesn't fit the role. So naturally, she might get it the part.
