Not to mention the fact that Lara Croft is a more well-known character that more people recognize.

No details are available about the reboot and how Lara and her father's relationship will be portrayed. In the video games, Richard Croft is seen mainly in flashbacks, journals, and voice memos uncovered by his daughter. 

Other cast members that were previously announced included Daniel Wu and Walton Goggins.
