Prime Video Reveals First Look at Sophie Turner as Lara Croft in Tomb Raider Series

A new teaser has been unearthed from Prime Video’s live-action Tomb Raider adaptation, and it shows Sophie Turner as the series lead, Lara Croft.

Earlier this month, Prime Video let the cast out of the bag with the live-action Tomb Raider.  Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s live-action project has confirmed that Jason Isaacs and Sigourney Weaver will star in the upcoming series adaptation, alongside other notable cast members with roles plucked from the video games. At the time, Sophie Turner had already been confirmed as the series lead (shortly after the series was greenlit in 2024), and today, Prime Video has given fans a first look at her portrayal of the legendary video game archaeologist. Amazon MGM Studios released the photo as it announced production is underway on Tomb Raider. The full image can be seen below, courtesy of Prime Video.

Prime Video’s Tomb Raider is based on the iconic video game franchise, which follows the adventures of Lara Croft. In an interview with SiriusXM (posted to Instagram), Sophie Turner revealed she’s playing the video games and reading the comics to prepare for the role, but she’s avoiding watching the previous on-screen versions of the characters, saying “I’m kind of doing all of it, but not really focusing on the previous iterations, because I don’t want to imitate, I’ve gotta create my own thing. So, as much as I love those movies, I can’t watch them right now.”

Phoebe Waller-Bridge serves as creator, writer and executive producer on the series, and Chad Hodge is an executive producer and co-showrunner. Jonathan van Tulleken will serve as director and executive producer. Alongside Turner as Lara Croft, the cast includes Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Martin Bobb-Semple, Jack Bannon, John Heffernan, Bill Paterson, Paterson Joseph, Sasha Luss, Juliette Motamed, Celia Imrie, and August Wittgenstein. 

Prime Video’s live-action Tomb Raider has just entered production, so it may be a while before it hits the screen. Until then, Crystal Dynamics’ Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is on Xbox Game Pass.
