Alicia Vikander Reflects on Missing Out on Tomb Raider Sequel and the Importance of Intimacy Coordinators in Film
Alicia Vikander recently shared her disappointment about not reprising her role as Lara Croft in a Tomb Raider sequel. Vikander, known for her current role in the period drama Firebrand alongside Jude Law, portrayed the iconic video game character in the 2018 adaptation. This film served as a reboot of the franchise, which initially starred Angelina Jolie in the early 2000s. While the 2018 film received mixed reviews and earned a modest $275 million globally, Vikander was widely praised for her performance, and a sequel seemed likely with her returning as the lead.
Unfortunately, when MGM lost the rights to Tomb Raider, the sequel project was abruptly halted, leaving Vikander confused and disappointed. In a recent interview with The Independent series “Go to Bat,” where celebrities discuss their most underrated work, Vikander expressed her own sadness about not returning as Lara Croft. When the interviewer mentioned that they were sad she wouldn’t be returning to the role, Vikander replied, “Me too!” She added that she would have gladly participated in Tomb Raider 2, stating, “I had so much fun.”
During the interview, Vikander also spoke about working with her husband, actor Michael Fassbender, with whom she has two children. She described him as her best friend and a highly talented actor, sharing that working with him felt like sparring – a challenging but non-combative way of pushing each other’s limits.
Additionally, Vikander touched on the importance of intimacy coordinators in the film industry, which became more prominent following Hollywood’s #MeToo movement. She expressed disbelief at how actors used to perform sex scenes without the guidance of such coordinators, reflecting on how this often led to difficult situations, especially early in her career.
