"As for her preparation for the series, Turner said she's playing the video games and reading the comics, but she is purposefully avoiding the Jolie movies. "I don't want to imitate. I've got to create my own thing. So as much as I love those movies, I can't watch them right now," she said. Turner also discussed how she's preparing, physically, for the role. She revealed that she's been training eight hours a day, five days a week, since February 2025."
"Turner didn't detail her specific workout regimen, but that's certainly a lot of time in the gym. In that time, Turner said one unfortunate thing is that she's learned she has a "perpetual back problem." Turner also said she has come to realize it's easier to build muscle if you have a history of exercising. She said she didn't, "so it's taken me months and months and months to get into good shape.""
Turner will portray Lara Croft in Prime Video's Tomb Raider television series. She has never met Angelina Jolie, who played Croft in early 2000s films. Turner is preparing by playing the video games and reading the comics while purposefully avoiding the Jolie movies to avoid imitation. She has trained eight hours a day, five days a week, since February 2025 and discovered a perpetual back problem. Turner noted building muscle proved slow without a prior exercise history, taking months to reach good shape. The show begins filming this month, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge as creator and co-showrunner, and no premiere date announced.
