A new trailer has been released for the upcoming movie "Tomb Raider," and it revolves around the life of protagonist Lara Croft, played by Swedish Oscar winner Alicia Vikander.
The new trailer shows Lara, following his dead father's last request, embarking on a journey to the island off the coast of Japan, where his father had been in search of an enigmatic tomb called the Mother of Death. Upon arriving in the island, she will be met with the organization named "Trinity," who, according to her father, must be stopped before they succeed in their aim to start a global genocide.
Lara will be challenged physically, mentally, and emotionally.
