Nowadays Tia Carrer couldn't be Lara she doesn't really look the part anymore



Those IA pictures of Hayley are very convincing I must admit but this is not the real deal so... Alicia only have 34 she's still young IMO and can still play Lara.

OMG

Hayley atwell have THE FACE, the accent and the status.

I wouldn't mind if she was the chosen one or if they used her face in the video game

If they really wanted to keep them unified across all media then Hayley would do the game, film and TV series aswell as the anime and she did show interest in the past doing it.

I feel like Lara would be a good breakout role for her, she's known to the MCU fans but never really got another go at a franchise.

I feel like a lot of online comic book and gamers would get behind her as Lara. Ten years ago her name was certainly thrown about on a lot of the fan casts online.

I feel like she'd generate online buzz and publicity maybe more than Angelina or Alicia would when they got cast as Lara, the thing is Alicia and Angelina were never in franchise films, the Oscars and their original films helped them gain notoriety and then playing Lara opened them up to the world of the film franchise and got them other jobs off the back of it and elevated their status further. Most people would probably agree that Lara is their most iconic role or what most of the general public have seen them in, this is partly because neither were in a big blockbuster franchise prior to their casting.

The thing with Hayley is that people already recognise her from the MCU and are waiting for her to take on a breakout role which will propel her further given the similar audience that will see those types of films. Basically all of us comic book needs are gonna support her in that role because we already love her for her roles in the MCU.

Alicia was the perfect Lara but I feel like to the general public do they wanna see Alicia Vikander as Lara or someone like Margot Robbie who they already know in a beloved role.

Can anyone who is a dab hand at photoshop make her vest full lenght, I'd love to see what she'd look like in the iconic tank top look.

Just photoshop her face onto someone else's body, it's pretty much what the AI art is

I definitely think she can embody the character pretty well in general even when her body isn't AI. She has a fit feminine physique akin to classic Lara.

I'm not trying to objectify her or anything but Lara was known for her figure and the curves in all the right places look which Atwell has going on.

Oh yeah, for sure. Girl has great cleavage and works it on pretty much every red carpet I've seen her walk down.
Looking at recent pics of her she does have a feminine figure.. but she would lose major boobage by working out to get those Lara arms pictured. AI art is a fantasy, let's be realistic.

DISCLAIMER: "Realism" is a dirty word on TRF so I am only into realism when it comes to the topic of casting a real-life person for Lara. Real people have a limit to the natural breast/muscle ratio they can achieve. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with Hayley (even though I'm personally not a fan) I'm just saying AI art means nothing. Otherwise I'd use an AI program to put my face onto Arnie's body and audition for the next Terminator.

I'd say this is maybe a more accurate representation of her in a Lara-type outfit minus that god awful wig.
