Is this what Sophie Turner's Lara Croft will look like in the new Tomb Raider series? The Tomb Raider franchise has seen several live-action adaptations, with the iconic character first portrayed by Angelina Jolie in 2001's Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. The sequel, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life, followed in 2003. Alicia Vikander took on the role in a 2018 reboot, which drew inspiration from the recent game at the time. Now, Phoebe Waller-Bridge is bringing the franchise back to life with a new Prime Video series, and Sophie Turner is set to play the title role. Turner posted a photo on her Instagram of her Lara Croft look, donning the classic game attire, complete with gun holsters, iconic short shorts, a green top, and round sunglasses. Waller-Bridge, a self-proclaimed fan of the classic games, expressed her excitement, saying, 'If I could tell my teenage self this was happening, I think she'd explode.' The series is a collaboration between Story Kitchen, Crystal Dynamics, and Amazon MGM, with Chad Hodge and Jonathan Van Tulleken as executive producers. Tulleken will also direct the production, while Waller-Bridge and Jenny Robbins executive produce via Wells Street Productions. The project promises to bring the thrilling world of Tomb Raider to life on television, and fans are eager to see Turner's interpretation of Lara Croft.
