"Prime Video Not much can be gleaned from this photo, although fans of the original games will note that Turner is wearing the archeologist's classic outfit, right down to her trademark thigh holsters and the turquoise tank top she sported throughout the first five games. Maybe that implies the series will be pulling from the franchise's pulpier early days rather than its grittier reboot games, but that's just a wild guess."
"Lara Croft has had her fair share of movie adaptations, and the character recently found a new life with an animated Netflix series. But the franchise has never explored live-action television before, and Waller-Bridge might be the right person to make it work. She's proven her mettle with the adventure genre, having worked on the script for the latest Bond movie and co-starred in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Now, we'll see what happens when she can take total creative control."
Phoebe Waller-Bridge signed a deal with Amazon Studios after Fleabag in 2019, but few projects have materialized in seven years. She briefly joined Amazon's Mr. and Mrs. Smith reboot, then departed over creative differences. Sophie Turner will star as Lara Croft in a Tomb Raider live-action series now in production for Prime Video, with Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, and Martin Bobb-Semple attached. A production image shows Turner in Lara Croft's classic turquoise tank top and thigh holsters, suggesting influence from the early games. Waller-Bridge has adventure-genre credits and may assume creative control of the series.
