Sophie Turner, known for her roles in Game of Thrones and X-Men, has been cast as Lara Croft in the upcoming Prime Video series Tomb Raider.
The character, previously brought to the big screen by Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander, will now star in the new TV adaptation, with production set to begin January 19, Amazon MGM Studios announced Wednesday.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge, creator and star of Fleabag and Crashing, will serve as creator, writer, executive producer, and co-showrunner, joined by co-showrunner and executive producer Chad Hodge and director/executive producer Jonathan Van Tulleken.
Turner said in a statement, "I am thrilled beyond measure to be playing Lara Croft. She's such an iconic character who means so much to so many — and I am giving everything I've got. Following in the steps of Angelina and Alicia is daunting, but with Phoebe leading the project, Lara is in very safe hands. I can’t wait for everyone to see what we have in store."
