Don't look for Megan Fox in Angelina Jolie's hotpants. Playing Lara Croft, we mean.

The 22-year-old tattooed Transformers star has been mentioned a lot recently -- albeit by unnamed online sources -- as a potential candidate for a reboot of the Tomb Raider series a la Batman Begins and Star Trek. Goodbye, Jolie. Hello, Fox?

"Not true," Fox tells Sun Media. "That comes from people who need to write things so people will go to their blogs. I'm not replacing Angelina Jolie. I'm not replacing anyone."

Instead she's focusing on June's big-budget sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, in which she's back as Shia LaBeouf's girlfriend.

Despite her action-flick credentials, though, Fox doesn't sound entirely confident about going solo just yet.

"I don't know if I can carry an action franchise. Right now I don't even know if anyone will come to see me in a little independent movie."

Jolie played the video-game heroine twice: In 2001's Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and its 2003 sequel Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. Although panned by critics, the movies collectively raked in more than $400 million worldwide.
