Leo Ashizawa is onboard to play Alex Ren, a character not in the games, but he's the only other cast member we know of. Michael Fassbender stars in this action-adventure film based on the acclaimed video game franchise about a man who discovers hes a descendant. Daniel Wu ( Into the Badlands) is playing "a ship captain who partners with Croft on a quest to find her father." Possibly trying to stop their quest is actor Walton Goggins ( Vice Principles), whose involvement in the film raises expectations. We know little about the actor's antagonist, but Goggins described him as "confused and angry and desperate" to Collider. King and Uthaug are telling the story of how the archaeologist and adventure seeker became the Lara Croft. I think the storytelling is really good, and I think we've got the right crew and a great director and I think it's going to be really fun making a film like this. This is a young Lara Croft in search to see if her father is dead or alive, so it has a very emotional part to it and I think that's what Alicia found so interesting about it. Richard Croft's role in the 2001 film isn't particularly memorable. This time around, the character is a more integral and emotional part of the story, according to producer Graham King: This is kind of what we call a 'back to the roots story'. In one game he was presumed to have killed himself in another, he was double-crossed and murdered. In the video games, Richard Croft is an archeologist portrayed as both a caring father and an absentee dad. In the first Angelina Jolie-led Tom Raider film, Jon Voight played Croft's father. Tomb Raider follows Croft on her first expedition as she tries to complete Lord Richard Croft's research and uncover a few ancient secrets, in addition to clearing her father's name. The actor, also known for The Wire, previously collaborated with Vikander on The Testament of Youth, in which he also played her father. The Hollywood Reporter got the exclusive on West's casting.
