Hayley Atwell, star of Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, has revealed how th𒁏e new Netflix series aims to create a "more complicated" depiction of the vi🐈deo game icon.

"[Director Meredith Layne] and [creator] Tasha [Huo] were really keen that we create a Lara that is recognizable as resilient, witty, with physical prowess [and] curious, but also someone that 💞is a bit more complicated than th⛄at, that it's not always driven by the big, bold brushstrokes of heroism," Atwell tells GamesRadar+.

The Lara we see in The Legend of Lara Croft, then, is one broken by her adventures in the Survivor trilogy of games (the Netflix series picks up post-2018's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Shadow of the Tomb Raider) and by the loss of several people close to her. This Lara Croft, alongside a familiar all-guns-blazing approach, is fallible, impulsive – and (arguably) more complex thanꦚ her video game counterpart.

For Aꦚtwell, part of the charm of this iteration of the character was exploring the archaeologist's "humanity" alongside her globetrotting and💃 trap-dodging adventures.

"It's to do with sort of mirroring back the cultural consciousness of how we, as audience members, want to see our heroes," Atwell explains. "What seems to꧃ be more of a trend is seeing what makes them tick or seeing limitations in who they are… rather than just being impenetrably ꦇbrilliant and unflappable, which is great to see – but not very human."

Atwell adds, "As we &nda🤪sh; as audiences – develop more of an interest in wanting to see the humanity alongside these kinds of aspirational characters then, as🍷 a creative, I want to be showing that and offering that up to the audience."
