Hollywood vixen Angelina Jolie has reportedly agreed to reprise her role as Lara Croft in a third Tomb Raider movie. The actress - who is heavily pregnant with boyfriend Brad Pitt’s baby - will start training for the role shortly after giving birth, despite once vowing she would never slip into Lara’s skimpy costume again.

The Oscar-winner, who is eight months pregnant, is currently staying at a highly-guarded residence in Namibia where she is expected to give birth to her first biological child, fathered by boyfriend Brad Pitt.

Ian Livingston, the creator of video game heroine Lara Croft, told Britain’s Daily Express: “Paramount has optioned it and Angelina has agreed to star in the third. If the (new) game is as successful as the others it’s likely Paramount will put the third movie into production soon.”

A source said: “Angelina is already in training to make sure she gets rid of her post-pregnancy bulge … She wants to be in tip-top shape and look better in Lara’s outfit than
ever.”

The last Tomb Raider film Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life - made on a $90 million budget - grossed $65 million in the North American box office alone.
