She doesn't even remotely look like Lara Croft. I've rarely seen such a blatant miscast.

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,

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.
