The artist drew inspiration from the War Dogs actress’s role as CIA agent Paloma in the James Bond movie, No Time to Die. He revealed that the art was created using the generative AI platform Midjourney. The artist used the Insight Face bot to place the Blonde actress’s face into the image. From the response to the viral art, it seems like the Knives Out actress would be a perfect fit for the Lara Croft role if a future movie reboot is planned.
Although Ana de Armas started her career in comedy and romantic drama movies, the Knock Knock actress has recently delved into action-packed roles, such as the Bond girl role alongside Daniel Craig as well as roles in movies like Overdrive, The Gray Man, and Ghosted.
Will Ana de Armas Play Lara Croft In The Movies?
Reddit users were split on the possibility of Ana de Armas playing Lara Croft. Some believed that the Sergio actress would make a great addition to the Tomb Raider franchise, while others argued that her talents might go to waste in a franchise that has no future. However, a few pointed out that Tomb Raider games have elevated their quality to movie levels, making a reboot a definite possibility.
The original movie, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, was based on the character from the Tomb Raider game series. The titular character was played by Angelina Jolie and saw the fierce archaeologist fight against the Illuminati to retrieve ancient artifacts. The film also had a financially less successful sequel, The Cradle of Life.
In 2018, the movie was rebooted under the title Tomb Raider with Alicia Vikander playing the lead. The film received mixed reviews and a potential sequel was cancelled in 2022. However, Amazon has plans to make yet another reboot, including a movie and a show. So, it is possible that fans could see Ana de Armas as the badass adventurer.
Fans can now stream Angelina Jolie’s Lara Croft on AMC+, while Alicia Vikander’s Tomb Raider is available for streaming on TBS.
