5 Actresses That Would Make a Great Lara Croft

Felicity Jones

Felicity Jones would make a great Lara Croft for a few reasons. She is a UK actress, so her accent will be natural and authentic. She is staring in Star Wars: Rouge One that comes out later this year, so she will have experience working in a huge franchise. If you have doubts on whether or not she would be a great fit, remember her performance in the Theory of Everything (2014) where she showcased her acting chops along with her ability to play a mixture of strength and vulnerability. This new movie portrayal of Lara Croft should showcase that Lara is a layered character that is strong, yet complex. It should also be noted that Jones is the only actress on this list to have an Oscar nomination.
