Tomb Raider Trailer Breakdown: 17 Things You Need To See

9. Walton Goggins As Father Mathias

Lara makes it to the island and seems to be immediately met by Father Mathias Vogel, played by the fantastic Walton Goggins.

In the 2013 game, Father Mathias was the leader of the shady Solarii Brotherhood, and here Vogel can be heard telling Lara, "You shouldn't have come here...but I'm glad that you did."

Lara is knocked unconscious by one of Vogel's men as soon as she washes ashore, and the next morning appears to be brought before him, where he no doubt lays out his entire Bond villain plan in a giant exposition dump.

It's unlikely Goggins will get to do much with this part, but he can play a total slimebag like few others, so there's that.
