Actress Daisy Ridley says there "have been conversations" about her playing Lara Croft in an untitled "Tomb Raider" reboot.

The role was originally made famous by actress Angelina Jolie.

The 23-year-old "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" star insisted she hasn't been formally offered to play the kickass female archeologist Lara Croft, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"I'm waiting for someone to say 'I want you, let's do it'," she tells The Hollywood Reporter. "Absolutely, I'm trying to fill up my calendar."

Although no offer has been made, Ridley has already got full support from "Star Wars" co-star John Boyega.

"I played Tomb Raider the game, it's a new take and I think the movies are going to be based on that version," he said. "But I texted Daisy [and] was like, 'this is you!' and 'you need to get on that because you could be Lara Croft.' She should be.
