What Iconic Female Characters Look Like In Remakes (Lara Croft Will Really Surprise You)

Creating remakes of popular movies is a risky business. Characters become iconic due to their unique features, style, intricate plotlines, and of course appearance. There’s no denying the fact that we also fall for some characters just because they look cute. This is why so much controversy surrounds new characters of Lara Croft, Catwoman, and the Enchanted trio. Some fans could go along with the new actresses, but others simply couldn’t put up with the transformations their favorite heroines went through. Here’s what popular female characters look like in remakes.

Sabrina, the Teenage Witch

The original 90s show was really sweet, telling the story of a teenage witch, her talkative cat, and all kinds of funny situations they got into. The remake, on the other hand, offers the viewer a darker side of magic, rituals, great power, and the responsibility that comes with it. All in all the viewers are quite satisfied with the remake.

Lara Croft

2018 was the year when a remake of Tomb Rider graced the silver screens, revealing the new face of Lara Croft. Needless to say, the movie sparked heated discussions as to whether Alicia Vikander is a worthy replacement of gorgeous Angelina Jolie in the role. Most fans were sure the movie wasn’t successful, and what can I say, the original Lara Croft just looks more stunning.

Carrie Bradshaw

Sex and the City, featuring lovely Sarah Jessica Parker, was a real hit when it came out. Carrie Bradshaw was rocking various looks, combining trendy outfits with relationship adventures and cool life tips. The Carrie Diaries, a prequel to the series, was released 9 years after the original, featuring Anna Sophia Robb as the younger version of Carrie. Fans thought she didn’t quite pull off the persona of a New York fashionista, despite all the efforts of showrunners to make her look like the hip older Carrie.
