The first trailer for Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2025) begins with a panoramic shot of a dense, fog-shrouded forest, the sounds of wildlife echoing in the air. Suddenly, the camera cuts to the silhouette of a young woman, crouched on the top of a cliff, scanning the terrain below. It’s Lara Croft, played by Millie Bobby Brown, her face determined, her eyes piercing, her signature braids flowing down her back.
Her voiceover begins, “I was never meant to live a normal life.” The screen flashes to Lara on the bustling streets of London, piecing together clues from her father’s mysterious diary. As she turns the pages, a map opens, leading to a long-lost ancient temple said to hold an artifact of unimaginable power.
The action cuts to action: Lara dodges traps inside a booby-trapped cave, climbs treacherous rocks, and dives into turbulent waters. The trailer reveals ancient ruins, forgotten civilizations, and mythical artifacts, each more dangerous and intriguing than the last. Lara’s athleticism, intelligence, and courage are on full display as she battles mercenaries, solves complex puzzles, and navigates dangerous environments.
A new villain, a ruthless treasure hunter played by a mysterious figure, challenges her at every turn. “You don’t know what you’re getting yourself into,” he warns, but Lara’s smirk reveals her unwavering determination. Interspersed are moments of Lara training, honing her skills, and pushing herself to the limit, hinting at her evolution from a young adventurer to a fearless tomb raider.
