Video game fans may have sighed, broken hearted, when Angelina Jolie vacated the iconic Lara Croft role after two films.
Now, a newfound reason to salivate is just around the corner.
Karima Adebibe is the new Croft, and here she is looking mighty fine and delectable at a photoshoot in Hamburg, Germany.
Don't know who Karima is? You haven't missed much. A shopgirl in UK's clothing retail chain, Topshop, Adebibe had a blink-and-miss role in the disastrous Alien Vs Predator two years ago.
Hailing from East London, the 20-year old's casting (announced on February 14, Lara's birthday and the 10th anniversary of the Tomb Raider game) as the super-popular figure has met with fan approval so far.
If you agree, you might as well check out some more Karima pics.
And join all of us in waiting for the next film.
