The project, which has been in development for years, is said to have been reinvigorated after Square Enix rebooted the franchise with Tomb Raider and its follow up, Rise of the Tomb Raider.According to Deadline , Square Enix's "younger take" on the character has inspired the producers' creative process. However, conversations are still in the early stages, and no official offers have been made yet. Deadline did not name other actresses being considered for the role. Rise of the Tomb Raider released in November of last year, raising the bar on Lara Croft's saga. IGN gave the game a 9.3 out of 10, praising it for the way it "takes its predecessor's winning formula and improves on it in every way."
