Filming for the Tomb Raider Series Begins: Sophie Turner in the Lead Role

The production process for Prime Video's Tomb Raider series is officially starting. As previously announced, the creator, writer, and executive producer of the series, starring Sophie Turner, is Phoebe Waller-Bridge, whom we know from Fleabag. The series' developer, Crystal Dynamics, will also serve as an executive producer on the show.

About the Tomb Raider Series

Thus, it has been confirmed that Sophie Turner will be the actress to portray the character of Lara Croft, following Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander. Sophie Turner, who won hearts with her role as Sansa Stark in the Game of Thrones series, said the following about her new role:

“I am indescribably excited to portray Lara Croft. She is an iconic character who means so much to so many people, and I am doing everything I can. There are huge roles to fill after the powerful performances of Angelina and Alicia, but with Phoebe at the helm, we (and Lara) are in very safe hands. I can’t wait for you all to see what we’ve been cooking up.”

The talented screenwriter and actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge, whose signature is on every part of the series, commented on the project:

“I am thrilled to announce the incredible Sophie Turner as our Lara, alongside this extraordinary creative team. It’s not often you get to make a series of this scale with a character you loved growing up. Everyone on the team is passionately dedicated to Lara and they are all as crazy, brave, and funny as she is. Get out your artifacts… Croft is coming…”

The production process for the Tomb Raider series, which was previously rumored to have been canceled, is targeted for January 19. On the other hand, there were shocking layoffs at Crystal Dynamics, which is working on the new Tomb Raider game, as had occurred. We'll see how this new series will affect the development process of the highly anticipated game in the series.
