However, Angelina Jolie was initially skeptical about playing Lara Croft as she felt she would not be able to pull the character off. Now, while her fans were almost about to get robbed of seeing her play the much-loved video game character, there was something that made her rethink her decision. What exactly was it, you may ask? Well, Angelina Jolie loves to travel and that’s what she would be doing while shooting the film. Thanks to the promises made by the team, Angelina Jolie was on-board!

Why did Angelina Jolie Choose to do Tomb Raider?

Well, that seems like some solid advice! While it’s weird to imagine someone else playing Lara Croft other than Jolie, we cannot help but wonder what the film would have been like if Jolie decided to stick with her initial decision.

After Jolie played Lara Croft in two films (2001 and 2003), it was time for a reboot, and actress Alicia Vikander took over the role of Lara. However, there was a moment when Megan Fox was being considered for the role before she declined it. Fox cited creative differences as the reason why she refused to be a part of Tomb Raider. A bit later, though, rumors went flying around that Fox declined the role because she didn’t want to be compared to Jolie.

“The offer has been on the table for Megan for a while but she’s reluctantly turned it down. She’s the logical choice to play Lara and she loves the character, but the comparison with Angelina is just too much.”

Another source stated that Fox didn’t want to be “Poor man’s Angelina Jolie.” It would’ve been a treat to watch Fox bring Lara Croft to life in her own way. But oh well, there’s no point crying over spilled milk, is there?
