For nylig blev det afsløret, at skuespilleren Walton Goggins skal spille skurken i den kommende Tomb Raider-film, og nu har han rost filmens historie i et interview med Yahoo. Han har sågar sammenlignet manuskriptet med Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.
"That for me was just a wonderful opportunity. But more importantly, the story is so good. It's so good. I think I can say this: For me, it's like Raiders of the Lost Ark meets a genre version of the Joseph Conrad novel Victory: An Island Tale. I just jumped at the chance."
Derudover har Goggins afsløret, at hans karakter godt nok er ond, men at han også vil have dybde:
"Is he a villain? Sure, that is an easy description. An antagonist, for sure. But [like other characters] I have been so lucky to have the opportunity to play over the course of my career, there are real reasons behind his antagonism, and it's not what you'd expect. He is very complicated, and his motivations are pure."
