Amazon's Tomb Raider series will star Sophie Turner as Lara Croft

Game of Thrones alum Sophie Turner has been cast as Lara Croft in Prime Video's upcoming Tomb Raider series. It's being co-created by Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

We finally have our Lara Croft, well over two years after Prime Video's Tomb Raider series was first announced. Turner acknowledges the "massive shoes to fill" from previous actors that have played the role, shouting out Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander. Bridge may be best known for creating the romantic comedy series Fleabag, but she has had plenty of experience with action-heavy projects.
