Alicia Vikander's photoshopping in Tomb Raider poster comes in for heavy mockery
Those prepping for Alicia Vikander’s debut as Lara Croft in the ‘Tomb Raider’ reboot appear to have spotted something amiss.
A new poster for the forthcoming action-adventure is set to join the ranks of the ‘photoshop fail’, thanks to Alicia’s oddly elongated Gregory Peck (cockney rhyming slang for ‘neck’, which, admittedly, loses something with the additional explanation).

It’s massive, basically. Long and weird-looking, and it seems that hours of retouching by the marketing department involved has resulted in a degree of ‘neck blindness’.
As one can see, in reality her neck is of entirely normal proportions.
Of course, as with anything that’s unveiled to the internet, within minutes people were all over it.

her neck looks like she's a John Carpenter Thing right as it's revealing that it's The Thing pic.twitter.com/RR3nlha5UG

As someone with an exceptionally long neck, I'm glad we're finally getting the recognition we deserve in mainstream media. https://t.co/xjXjcQvz8d

Alicia Vikander is amazing and I’m excited to see the #TombRaider trailer but wow this poster is awful. What is going on with her neck?! pic.twitter.com/S1cS2a7kOJ

While some simply mocked, others just had to go that one step further.
The only way Vikander's neck makes sense in this poster is if the movie was originally TOMB RAPTOR. pic.twitter.com/VfDRk5mFIU

Don't know what everyone's complaining about, Alicia Vikander's neck looks totally fine in that Tomb Raider poster. pic.twitter.com/rsaajJChw3

Let’s hope she – quite literally – winds her neck in come the movie’s release in March, 2018.
