In a short time, she has transformed into an international superstar with four major films - Testament of Youth, Ex Machina, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and The Danish Girl. Last year, she starred in Jason Bourne, opposite Matt Damon as well as The Light Between Oceans with Michael Fassbender. This year she stole the show in Birds Like Us, Tulip Forever, Wim Wenders’s Submergence, as well as Europhoria, which also happens to be the first title from her production company Vikarious Productions. Up next, Vikander will play Lara Croft in the much-anticipated 2018 release of Tomb Raider. At just 28 years old, there’s no limit to where her talents will take her. Don’t miss the chance to hear from Ms. Vikander speak at our upcoming Zurich Summit as she gives insight into her experiences and lessons learned within the film industry and explores future plans for Vikarious Productions. |
