"HER VOICE SOUNDS AMAZING. HAYLEY ATWELL MY LARA CROFT!!!" is one enthusiastic reaction.

"I JUST WOKE UP AND THE FIRST THING I SEE IS THIS WE NEED HAYLEY FOR TR12 PLEASE," says another excited fan

"Her voice is PERFECT," says someone else. "Having a completely normal reaction to this"

"'I'm always careful' SHE HAVE THE ATTITUDE, THE VOICE IS PERFECT WE ARE SO BACK!!!!" cheers someone else

This isn't the only Tomb Raider project on the way, either. If you can't get enough of Lara Croft, the good news is Fleabag and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny star Phoebe Waller-Bridge is writing a live-action show for Amazon Prime Video

There's also a short teaser available for the Netflix animated show, which shows off plenty of Lara's adventuring. 

"Following the events of the Survivor series, Lara Croft has abandoned her friends to embark on increasingly more perilous solo adventures," reads Netflix's synopsis. "But she must return home when a dangerous and powerful Chinese artifact is stolen from Croft Manor by a thief with an uncanny personal connection. Her daring pursuit will take her on an adventure around the world and to the depths of forgotten tombs, where she will be forced to confront her true self, and decide just what kind of hero she wants to become."

Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft arrives on Netflix this October 10. In the meantime, you can fill out your watchlist with our guide to the best Netflix shows to stream now.
