Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft‘s New Trailer Shows That Sometimes Lara Just Really Needs Some Guns

Netflix has released a 2nd trailer for its upcoming Tomb Raider animated bid that is far, far little of a stone-cold bummer than the archetypal one. Feast your eyes, below:

Unlike the archetypal trailer, Hayley Atwell’s caller Lara Croft actually gets to speak successful this one, trading barbs with the changeless voices of disapproval each implicit the first. Though the quality feels a spot similar a lateral determination for Atwell aft playing Peggy Carter successful the MCU for the past decade, she’s inactive a perfectly-cast prime for Croft.

Apparently retaining the supernatural elements of the Survivor bid (lots of location-specific temple guards, from the look of things…) our latest look astatine the bid yet gives Lara her iconic, dual pistols backmost again, which is comic considering this post-2013 reboot of the quality has successfully managed to person a “get the pistols” infinitesimal astir 3 times crossed aggregate mediums now. The trailer is besides scored to a somber, reverb-drenched remix of Metric’s Scarface-inspired “Gold Guns Girls” to large effect, adjacent if the opus conscionable made a caller quality successful different animated Netflix project, past year’s Nimona (not to notation Zombieland and Totally Spies! The Movie). Don’t messiness with success, I guess.

Weirdly enough, Netflix has yet to merchandise a afloat formed database for this series, but successful summation to Atwell, we cognize The Legend of Lara Croft besides includes the voices of Richard Armitage arsenic the villainous Devearaux (great atrocious feline name), Allen Maldonando arsenic Lara’s tech expert, Zip, and Earl Baylon arsenic her traveling companion, Jonah Maiava. Don’t get excessively attached to the past two, though, since the authoritative logline states the amusement sees our leader “abandoning her friends to embark connected progressively much perilous solo adventures.” However, Croft volition person to “return location erstwhile a unsafe and almighty Chinese artifact is stolen from Croft Manor by a thief with an uncanny idiosyncratic connection,” with Lara’s “daring pursuit volition instrumentality her connected an escapade astir the satellite and to the depths of forgotten tombs, wherever she volition beryllium forced to face her existent self, and determine conscionable what benignant of leader she wants to become.”

Personally, I’m much excited than I thought I’d beryllium to spot the continuing adventures of an unapologetic, gun-toting enactment leader who robs graves for a living. I like this character. How astir you?

Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft begins streaming connected Netflix October 10.
