This was a significant change for Vikander. The Tomb Raider actress confirmed the birth of her child to PEOPLE in 2021 but chose not to go into further detail about how it affected her lifestyle.

“I think I’ll wait with that one.”

She then offered only a couple of sentences:

“I now have a whole new understanding of life in general. That’s pretty beautiful, and obviously will give a lot to any of my work in the future.”

“It’s not really difficult. I just answer what I choose to answer and don’t answer other things.”

Additionally, the actress has not ruled out working with Fassbender once again on screen, provided the role fits with her new family priorities. She spoke with Elle in 2020:

“I would love to work with him one day, but we’re very much individuals, which I love and I think is good in any relationship. We both take on parts because it’s a film that is right for us, so it would have to be the same if we were ever to work together again.”
