Angelina Jolie is set to reprise her role as archaeologist Lara Croft in 'Tomb Raider 3'.

The actress - who is heavily pregnant with lover Brad Pitt's baby - will start training for the role shortly after giving birth, despite once vowing she would never slip into Lara's skimpy hotpants again.

The character's creator Ian Livingston is quoted by Britain's Daily Express newspaper as saying: "Paramount has optioned it and Angelina has agreed to star in the third."

Angelina, who has two adopted children, four-year-old Maddox and baby Zahara, is said to be determined to get her body in shape for the part - based on the popular computer game series.

A source said: "Angelina is already in training to make sure she gets rid of her post-pregnancy bulge. She wants to be in top shape."

Meanwhile, it has been claimed Angelina - who is due to give birth next month - and Brad are set to marry in Africa.

The couple sparked wedding rumours after tightening security at the Namibian hideaway they have been staying at.
