There are moments Id forgotten from the first game that they definitely pull straight from in the movie.
I was like, Wait!
Dont go in there!
Square Enix (2)
Dont go in the plane!
I was yelling at the screen.
As she puts it, Weve all gotten to share this part of this very iconic character.
Square Enix
Case and point: she inadvertently kickstarts the Mayan apocalypse in her blind pursuit of Trinity.
In this game, she ends up losing herself in tunnel vision for hunting Trinity, Luddington says.
Are her decisions the right decisions?

The actress no longer finds herself in rare company.
The rise in technology also means the process becomes more complex.
Luddington isnt simply in-and-out of the voiceover booth.

If anyone saw me in a VO booth, Id look crazy, she says with a laugh.
The motion-capture process brings other challenges.
When Croft is covering herself in mud as camouflage from Trinity soldiers, thats Luddington.
When Croft is pulling back a bow to land a nasty long-range headshot, thats Luddington.
When Croft is chilling on a boat because Tomb Raiding is taxing thats Luddington.
For now, its back to water bottles in the VO booth.
Though, to be fair, Luddington doesnt know if shell be back for another game.
Whats funny for me is, I was never signed on for a trilogy.
I get signed on by game, she says.
I usually get a call at some point that says, Do you want to come back as Lara?
Heres the rest of the journey, and they brief me on it.
I will always be happy to come back.
