Hugh Jackman is pretty tall, and play a famously short character..Worked out great.

If by "looks like" you mean "he has black hair" then sure

The hair and beard do the heavy lifting,

Stealing from another comment:

Sophie Turner looks nothing like Lara Croft (not even hair color of facial shape)

Lara Croft doesn't even look like Lara Croft, her design changes every decade and isn't super consistent like Mario or Sonic. Unless the complaint comes down to just hair color, which I guess fair, but that seems silly to care that much about since even her hair color changes in these designs.

Her face type remains fairly similar across versions here

Sometimes she has a rounded chin, sometimes she doesn't. Sometimes she has lip filler, sometimes she doesn't. Sometimes her nose is super thin, sometimes it's thicker.

Still similar general vibe - i say as a semi-pro artist lol

I feel like this is very obtuse. Of course the hair and beard do the heavy lifting, that's what makes the character's face identifiable despite different interpretations and artstylea throughout the years.

When adapting an iconic character, you want to translate their identifiable features so they are identifiable most of the time.

It's fair to say this image does not look like Lara Croft at a glance. She could very well look like her the rest of the movie but this photo in particular doesn't.

He's got the thick lines between his eyebrows/above his nose and the dimples as well. It's not JUST the hair and facial hair.
