Star Wars: The Force Awakens star Daisy Ridley has confirmed she’s been approached for the role of Lara Croft, prompting men everywhere to imagine a reality where the 23-year-old\u00a0wants to be with them forever.<\/p>\n
Daisy Ridley has publicly confirmed for the first that she has been approached to play Lara Croft in a new adaptation of the Tomb Raider series \u2013 paving the way for all manner of \u2018Tomb Rey-der\u2019 puns.<\/p>\n
The actress was first linked to the role earlier this month, but had not commented on the reports until now. Choosing her words carefully (\u201cI was not told how to answer this question!\u201d), Ridley said she had been having several meetings about the role, \u201cbut meetings don\u2019t mean you\u2019re going to do the film\u201d.<\/p>\n
She did, however, recognise the swell of fan support for the casting idea \u2013 \u201deveryone seems to be very excited about the idea\u201d \u2013 but clarified that the project was still in its very early stages. \u201cI don\u2019t even think there\u2019s a script yet.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
