10 Actresses Who Could Play The Young Lara Croft In Tomb Raider

4) Daisy Ridley

An unknown before being cast in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Daisy Ridley looks set to be propelled into superstardom this Winter, and assuming that the critical and commercial response to the movie will be good, we should probably expect to see a lot more of the actress moving forward.

Some could argue that it’s too soon to be fantasy casting her in a leading role for something as prolific as Tomb Raider, but J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy must have seen something special in Ridley in order to choose her to become the face of the Star Wars franchise (after all, they’d probably prefer not have another Hayden Christensen on their hands).

Ridley has the look, the accent, and a guaranteed fanbase thanks to Star Wars, so seeing her step into the climbing boots of Lara Croft would be no bad thing and could actually help this reboot find success.
