Alicia Vikander's neck looks just fine in the first 'Tomb Raider' trailer

Lara Croft is back -- and hey, her neck seems pretty normal!

In this first trailer for the upcoming Tomb Raider film, Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl, Ex Machina) takes on the video game heroine's role as she explores her father's disappearance on a sinister island. (And, this being a Hollywood action-adventure blockbuster, of course "the fate of humanity something-something" is apparently at stake.)

This is the first on-screen Tomb Raider adventure since 2003's The Cradle of Life, sequel to the 2001 Tomb Raider film starring Angelina Jolie. The film is directed by Roar Uthaug with a script from Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Toby Gard.

And despite what we saw in that first poster earlier this week, her neck isn't stretched to equine proportions.

Tomb Raider releases in theaters March 2018.
