The first trailer for Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2025) begins with a sweeping shot of a dense, mist-covered jungle, the sounds of wildlife echoing through the air.

Suddenly, the camera cuts to the silhouette of a young woman, crouched atop a cliff, scanning the terrain below. It’s Lara Croft, played by Millie Bobby Brown, her face determined, eyes sharp, with her signature braid trailing behind her.

Her voiceover begins, “I was never meant for an ordinary life.” The screen flashes to Lara in the bustling streets of London, piecing together clues from her father’s mysterious journal. As she turns the pages, a map unfolds, leading to an ancient, long-lost temple said to hold an artifact capable of unimaginable power.

The scene shifts to action-packed sequences: Lara dodging traps inside a booby-trapped cave, scaling treacherous cliffs, and diving into raging waters. The trailer gives glimpses of ancient ruins, forgotten civilizations, and mythical artifacts, each one more dangerous and alluring than the last. Lara’s athleticism, intelligence, and courage are on full display as she battles mercenaries, solves intricate puzzles, and navigates deadly environments.

A new antagonist, a ruthless treasure hunter played by an enigmatic figure, challenges her at every turn. “You don’t know what you’re getting into,” he warns, but Lara’s smirk shows her unyielding resolve.

Intercut are moments of Lara training, honing her skills, and pushing herself to the limit, hinting at her evolution from a young adventurer into a fearless tomb raider.
