Will Sophie Turner Play Lara Croft in Tomb Raider?

by · VULTURE

Sophie Turner started out as a successor to a throne in ancient (fictional) times, but will her next series lead be studying those old texts? According to The Hollywood Reporter, Turner is in negotiations to star in Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s adaptation of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider for Prime Video. There’s also no word yet if Turner would only be involved in the Waller-Bridge show or play Croft in the film or video games in development at the streamer. Vulture has reached out to Amazon for comment. For those not familiar with the video game or the Angelina Jolie movie or the Alicia Vikander movie or the Netflix anime series, Croft is a British archaeologist who raids tombs— the video game had players solving puzzles and fighting bad guys while wearing tiny outfits. But with Waller-Bridge at the helm, maybe Croft will have more comfortable archeological looks, or at the very least, something that fights against mosquitos.
