Lara Croft, inspired by Alicia Vikander’s portrayal, stands ready for adventure on a sandy shoreline, gripping a stick as ocean waves crash dramatically behind her and preparing to face off against another explorer—capturing the excitement of an iconic Tomb Raider scene brought to life.

This week brings us a first look photo of Alicia Vikander as she takes on the role of beloved video game adventurer Lara Croft, and she looks ready for a fight.

Lara Croft’s backstory has been changed a bit for the upcoming film. Instead of an adventurer, she’s a bike messenger hell-bent on finding her missing father. Her first stop is his last-known location: a tomb in Japan.

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider arrives in theaters on March 16, 2018.
