Hayley Atwell to Voice Lara Croft for Netflix’s Tomb Raider Anime Series

It is no secret that Lara Croft has been a popular character in recent years, but now she’s getting her own anime series. Hayley Atwell will provide the voice for the iconic video game heroine.

In January, Netflix revealed that it was working on a new anime series based on Square Enix’s Tomb Raider property. Hayley Atwell will give her voice to the franchise’s famous explorer, Lara Croft, according to the studio.

Atwell is most recognized for her portrayal of Dr. Margaret Elizabeth “Peggy” Carter in the Captain America movie from Marvel Studios. The actress may also be heard in the first season of the new hypothetical Disney+ program What If!, in which Peggy becomes the first Super Soldier instead of Steve Rogers.

The firm tweeted that “Netflix’s forthcoming TOMB RAIDER anime series from Powerhouse Animation takes up after the events of Square Enix’s video game reboot trilogy, and will follow Atwell’s Lara Croft in her newest, greatest adventure.”

The announcement indicates that the series will begin after the most recent Tomb Raider game, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, which was released in 2018. Eidos-Montréal is apparently working on a fourth game that will tie together the timeframes of the original Core games and the contemporary trilogy, although it’s unclear if Netflix’s new anime series will play a role.

The Tomb Raider video game franchise has sold over 81 million copies and won a treasure trove of accolades in the 25 years since its debut. The game’s popularity has spawned a worldwide brand that includes films, merchandising, comic books, and, most recently, a stunning animated series. Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the most recent game release, has earned many “Best of” nominations and awards. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montréal created the Tomb Raider video games, which are distributed by Square Enix.

Some Tomb Raider fans seem to be dissatisfied with Netflix’s casting choice, claiming that Camilla Luddington should have been recruited instead. That makes sense, since Luddington supplied the voice of Lara Croft in all three contemporary Tomb Raider games and did an excellent job of portraying a younger version of the fan favorite character.
