Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft is set to premiere in 2024 exclusively on Netflix.
The Tomb Raider video game franchise consists of 12 main-series games and a number of spin-offs. The original game released in 1996 and spawned eight follow-ups through 2008. The franchise was rebooted with a new main-series game in 2013, which would prove to be the first installment in a trilogy that concluded in 2018.
Just going to bring this up to brag about it but the scene where Lara is seen stroking the image of Sam in the photo is one of the two most viewed parts of the Trailer for Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft.

The franchise was adapted into live-action via the 2001 Paramount film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, which was based on the early games and starred Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft. Jolie reprised her role for the 2003 sequel, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life. MGM and Warner Bros. rebooted the live-action series with the 2018 film Tomb Raider. Starring Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft, the 2018 film was primarily based on the 2013 reboot game.
