Tomb Raider Netflix series picks up more cast members
Netflix and Legendary Television are hard at work on a new Tomb Raider anime series, with the revleal last month of Hayley Atwell (Captain America, Mission: Impossible 7) will be the voice of iconic adventurer Lara Croft
Today the companies also announced that Allen Maldonado (Heels, The Wonder Years) has joined the cast as the voice of tech expert and colleague Zip, and Earl Baylon will reprise his role from the video game as the voice of one of Lara’s most-trusted friends and voice of reason, Jonah Maiava.
Picking up after the events of the highly successful Tomb Raider videogame Survivor trilogy as told in 2013’s Tomb Raider, 2015’s Rise of the Tomb Raider, and 2018’s Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the animated series will chart the globetrotting heroine’s next chapter as she takes on the role of the iconic tomb raider that she is destined to become. Twenty-five years after her first game appeared, Lara continues to explore new territory.
Powerhouse Animation, the studio behind such hits as Castlevania, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, and Blood of Zeus, is working on the show, so it should have some stellar animation. Just a note, this is not connected to the mid 2000s show, so if you were hoping for more of that, you are out of luck.
