Andor Star Elizabeth Dulau Wants to Play Lara Croft—Hollywood, Make It Happen!

by

As Andor Season 2 wraps up within the 2025 TV lineup, the Rogue One spinoff has officially concluded its journey. The captivating science fiction series, available for streaming with a Disney+ subscription, is a must-watch due to its top-notch writing and exceptional production values. Notably, the ensemble cast shines, with Elizabeth Dulau being one of its standout performers. With the show now over, Dulau recently disclosed a significant role she’d be thrilled to portray in the future – and I can’t wait for her to embrace that opportunity!

Elizabeth Dulau Reveals There’s An Action Hero Role She’s Been Eyeing

In the two seasons of Andor, a promising young British actress portrayed Kleya Marki. Initially appearing as Luthen Rael’s assistant and a communications operator for the Rebel Alliance, Kleya’s character developed more action-oriented roles in Season 2. Elizabeth Dulau garnered praise for her acting skills towards the end of the series, becoming a beloved figure among fans. Now, with her name echoing across the galaxy, Dulau is eager to take on the role of a famous video game-born adventurer.

As a film enthusiast, let me tell you, my ideal role would be an action heroine akin to Lara Croft – a dream that those closest to me wouldn’t find surprising in the least. You see, as a child, I was captivated by characters like her and Indiana Jones, often finding myself engaged in pretend battles throughout our house. My toy bow and arrow were constant companions during these adventures!

The allure of seeing a female character embodying unquestionable coolness, intelligence, and physical prowess left an indelible mark on me as a child. If I could one day embody such a character for other kids, it would truly feel like my life had come full circle.

Who are the key Hollywood figures I need to connect with to bring this idea to life? I’m thrilled after learning that House of Guinness expressed interest in steering the Tomb Raider series to Country & Town House. Reflecting on the situation, I can see numerous reasons why she could be an excellent choice for the beloved character, Lara.

Why Would Elizabeth Dulau Be A Strong Fit For The Character Of Lara Croft?

As a devoted cinephile, Elizabeth Dulau’s portrayal as Kleya Marki is nothing short of exceptional. She masterfully embodies Kleya’s stoic demeanor and unyielding spirit to protect those in peril. Her character, an orphaned rebel, exhibits a defiant streak that resonates even in her dialogues with Luthen. However, Kleya is more than just a tough-as-nails rebel. A delicate vulnerability surfaces, particularly in the later episodes of Andor, adding depth to this complex character. In my opinion, some of Kleya’s final scenes are among the most heartrending moments in the series.

As a devoted cinephile, I can’t help but see striking similarities between the characteristics outlined above and those of Lara Croft. It’s not just wishful thinking; I truly believe that the London-born actress in question could effortlessly embody this iconic character.

Now, let’s talk about the physical demands of the role – something that Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander have demonstrated through their impressive stunt performances as Croft. But fear not, for I am confident that Elizabeth Dulau would be more than willing to dedicate herself to rigorous training and embrace the physicality required for this demanding role.

The Tomb Raider series has an intriguing potential in the realm of live-action productions. Notably, Phoebe Waller-Bridge was working on a series for Amazon Prime Video, with Sophie Turner slated to play Lara, but that project ultimately got scrapped. Currently, Hayley Atwell embodies the character in the Netflix-streamable animated series, “The Legend of Lara Croft.” With seven years elapsed since the theater release of the film featuring Alicia Vikander, it would be delightful to witness another live-action take on Croft.

In case another live-action adaptation of the Tomb Raider mythology arises, it’s uncertain if Élodie Yung will be given serious thought for the role. However, considering her impressive portrayal in Andor (her debut leading role), casting directors should definitely take a second glance at her. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it becomes a reality, but until then, make sure to catch up on her performance in the recently concluded Star Wars series.
