After starring in movies like Ex Machina, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Jason Bourne, Alicia Vikander is finally taking blockbuster center stage next year for the Tomb Raider reboot. With half a year to go until this new version of Lara Croft graces the big screen, Warner Bros is gearing up for the first trailer's launch tomorrow. To build up some hype ahead of time, the studio released the first Tomb Raider poster, and unfortunately, the thing that immediately draws the eye is how weird Vikander's neck looks.
Warner Bros was clearly aiming to make Alicia Vikander look badass in this Tomb Raider poster, and the ice-climbing axe in her hand and the piercing glare certainly help with that (although maybe it's time we retire having these blockbuster protagonists looking backwards with their necks twisted on their posters). However, as many have noted on social media, the actress' neck appears to be elongated to an unnatural length, which we can attribute to bad Photoshop work. No amount of working out could cause anyone's neck to stretch that much. Once you notice the neck issue on the poster, it's impossible not to keep thinking about how anatomically wrong it is. Still, this isn't the first Photoshop movie poster mishap from 2017.
