Sophie Turner's Realistic Lara Croft in Action - First Look at Amazon's 2027 Tomb Raider Series

Leaked images of Sophie Turner as Lara Croft in Surrey have surfaced online (via Daily Mail), offering a first look at Amazon Prime Video's upcoming Tomb Raider series. The photos depict Turner parachuting over a lake and running through a rain-soaked forest, wearing practical clothing and cargo pants. This costume differs from the classic Lara Croft image, instead resembling her design in the 2003 game, Tomb Raider: Legend, and suggesting a shift towards a more realistic survival theme than the adventure focus of earlier games. Production on the Tomb Raider series began in January 2024. Sophie Turner stars, alongside Sigourney Weaver and Jason Isaacs. Turner has spoken about the physical demands of the role, noting that building muscle has been challenging due to her limited prior athletic experience and that she has been dealing with back issues during training. Prime Video has previously adapted video games, including Fallout, which recently concluded filming its second season. They are also developing a God of War series starring Ryan Hurst as Kratos. Sources suggest Tomb Raider will premiere in 2027.
