Amazon’s Tomb Raider series will start shooting in 2026, with Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner confirmed to play Lara Croft.
Turner is best-known for her role as Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, though she has also played Jean Grey in X-Men: Dark Phoenix and X-Men: Apocalypse.
Production kicks off in January nearly two years after the series was given the thumbs up at Prime Video. Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge is creator, writer, and executive producer on the series. Variety reported that Chad Hodge has signed on as co-showrunner, with Jonathan van Tulleken in place as director and executive producer.
Lara Croft was of course played by Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander in movie adaptations of the famous video game. More recently, Netflix aired its own anime take on Tomb Raider, with Marvel star Hayley Atwell voicing the lead character.
