Wisdom Wednesday: Alicia Vikander's training for Tomb Raider (2018)
Jul 10, 2024
In preparation for the role of Lara Croft, Alicia Vikander underwent rigorous training to achieve the desired physical shape. Tomb Raider (2018) not only required an emotional performance, but also demanded physical endurance due to numerous stunts involving fights, chases, and wire work. Alicia began training three months prior to principal photography, working closely with her personal trainer, Magnus Lygdback.
To promote the release of the Tomb Raider (2018) film, the official Warner Bros. channel posted a series called "Tomb Raider – Fitness Plan," led by Alicia's personal trainer, Magnus. The plan consists of workout techniques Magnus used to train Alicia, helping her become Lara Croft.
