Warner Bros. has unveiled the first poster for its Tomb Raider movie reboot.

The image, which you can view below, is heavily inspired by the 2013 game reboot and Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Alicia Vikander, who plays Lara Croft in the film, is holding what seems to be a red climbing axe, the same type of weapon players wield in the recent games. She also seems to have picked up a similar wound on her right arm, just like in the 2013 game reboot.

Tomb Raider is set to open in theaters on March 16, 2018. The story follows Lara Croft as she tries to solve her father's mysterious death. The rest of the cast includes Dominic West as Lara's father, Lord Richard Croft, Into the Badlands' Daniel Wu and Walton Goggins as the movie's villain.

According to director Roar Uthaug, the movie is heavily inspired by the 2013 game and will also feature elements from Rise of the Tomb Raider. Uthaug is also aiming for a more grounded take on Tomb Raider, and is aiming to avoid using too much CGI and special effects that other adaptations have included.
