"Ahead of its upcoming release, Prime Video has revealed a first look at Tomb Raider star Sophie Turner. The live-action adaptation is currently in production, and Turner's outfit puts a modern spin on Lara Croft's signature adventure gear. Clearly inspired by the early Tomb Raider games, Turner's outfit consists of rugged shorts, red sunglasses, a turquoise top, and a pair of pistols--standard equipment for dangerous archeological expeditions."
"For her preparation, Turner recently said she has been training up to eight hours a day, five days a week, since February 2025, to physically prepare for the demanding role of Lara Croft. She has also been playing the old games and reading the Tomb Raider comics, but she has avoided watching the Tomb Raider movies starring Angelina Jolie so that she can put her own unique spin on the character."
"Turner was confirmed to star as Lara Croft in late 2024, and she'll be joined by several other notable actors. Sigourney Weaver. Jason Isaacs, Martin Bobb-Semple, Bill Paterson, Paterson Joseph, Jack Bannon, John Heffernan, Sasha Luss, Juliette Motamed, Celia Imrie, and August Wittgenstein will also star in the series. This is the second big piece of casting news this week, as Prime Video announced this week that Sons of Anarchy actor Ryan Hurst will play Kratos in its live-action God of War TV series."
Prime Video is producing a live-action Tomb Raider series starring Sophie Turner as Lara Croft. Turner's costume updates the classic look with rugged shorts, red sunglasses, a turquoise top, and dual pistols, drawing inspiration from early games. The cast includes Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Bill Paterson, Paterson Joseph, Sasha Luss, Celia Imrie, and others. Turner began intensive physical training in February 2025, practicing up to eight hours a day, five days a week, and is studying older games and comics while avoiding Angelina Jolie's films to create a unique portrayal. Two new Tomb Raider games are planned: Legacy of Atlantis this year and Catalyst in 2027.
