[3] On June 14, 2017, Tom Holkenborg was announced as the film's composer for Tomb Raider.

He was originally scoring Zack Snyder's Justice League but was replaced by Danny Elfman.

Holkenborg commented that "It pains me to leave the project, but a big thanks to Zack for asking me to be part of his vision, and I wish Danny, Joss, and Warner Bros all the best with Justice League.

He then employed an original approach with director Roar Uthaug, with an emphasis on raw sound design and music to portray the journey of Lara, one of which was through the use of strong percussion to give that sense of grittiness and realism.

Aljoscha Christenhuß and Antonio Di Iorio provided additional music.
