Alicia Vikander miscast?


She's short, has small boobs (has to wear a push up bra with massive padding for the role), and has a somewhat heavy accent.

I know Angelina's too old for the role now, but why not cast someone whose physical attributes fit the role better?

It's not an easy thing to play Lara,regardless what actress is hired for this,camilla did a good job in playing her in the games.At least ,Alicia is trying and i admire her dedication.

reply

Miscast would be using an actress that doesn't bring in the punters.

Vikander will. You know... cos we'd all like to fuck her very hard.

I don't😎

i guess you'll just have to jerk it to regular porn instead.

One problem with having this discussion is that Lara's design has changed a lot.

For those of us who were around in the beginning, we remember something like this:

But today she looks more like this:

The proportions are very different.

Vikander seems to do a decent job of fitting the bill for Lara's CURRENT design. But of course fans of the earlier games are going to be disappointed, myself included.

Lara has never been short, though, and Vikander is SHORT. She also has a terrible nasal accent when speaking English.

reply

You never played the games do you? Lara is 1.65cm tall😉

reply

Original Lara was like 5' 11". Either way, Vikander is still too short.

reply

Like i said,if you played the games,maybe you know...anyway i read the plot for this movie and i'm 90%sure that will be like the jolie versios.Lara will be moked again by them.

reply

LOL, good one.

reply

I do not hear a nasal accent at all.

reply

You can't miss it in Jason Bourne. She sounded a lot better by Tomb Raider.

reply

To keep in continuity with the original games, at the very least, they could have gotten someone with a substantial--almost unrealistic hourglass figure, like Alexis Ren or something. Vikander's figure is pretty much rectangle, if memory serves. We'll see how she shapes up as Croft soon enough I guess.

reply

IMO Scarlett Johansson would be about perfect. Maybe a little taller but still she would be great in the part.

reply

Agreed, that would work too.

reply

Or Milla Jovovich😉

reply

She would have been really terrible tbh. She's ok tbh - personally I never found her super attractive nor very talented.

reply

She's also too old for an origin movie. The actress should be early twenties at most, not pushing thirty.

reply

Well,it will be fun to compare the movie with the game,but what i've read about the plot,as a fan i'm disapointed already.

reply

I think she is miscast . She has no tits, and is nowhere near sexual enough.

Dunno who they could cast, though... Lilly Collins maybe?

..Joe

reply

Lilly Collins...no.Another choice could've been that young actress from star wars:episode 8

reply

Gemma Arterton - too old, maybe, but otherwise fitting. I guess she's more like the original Tomb Raider.

reply

Alexandra Daddario

reply

Overated actress, looks nothing like old school Lara.
