Movies: Asian Superstar Daniel Wu Plays Lara Croft's Ally In “Tomb Raider”

After starring in recent box-office hits Warcraft and Geostorm, Chinese-American actor Daniel Wu returns to the screen as sailor Lu Ren, in Warner Bros. Pictures' new action-adventure Tomb Raider (in Philippine cinemas and IMAX on Thursday, March 8.)

In Tomb Raider, Lara Croft (Alicia Vikander) is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished when she was scarcely a teen. Now a young woman of 21 without any real focus or purpose, Lara navigates the chaotic streets of trendy East London as a bike courier, barely making the rent. Determined to forge her own path, she refuses to take the reins of her father’s global empire just as staunchly as she rejects the idea that he’s truly gone. Leaving everything she knows behind, Lara goes in search of her dad’s last-known destination: a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan.

The first leg of her odyssey takes Lara to Hong Kong, in search of a man named Lu Ren. She finds him…sort of. The Lu Ren Lara encounters is actually the son of the man her father had been in contact with. But for Lara, any Lu Ren will do, so long as he can captain a boat and take her to the island of Yamatai, her father’s last-known destination.
