Amazon is back at it again with video game adaptation tea just one day after spilling the Kratos casting beans. This time, they dropped the first legit look at Sophie Turner suited up as Lara Croft for their Tomb Raider series over on Prime Video's X account. The caption straight up said, "Get your artifacts out. Lara's on her way." No cap.
Turner locked down this role back in September 2025 when Amazon also confirmed filming kicks off in 2026. Last week, they stacked the deck with Jason Isaacs playing Lara's treasure-hunting uncle and Sigourney Weaver as some shadowy figure who clearly knows Lara's skills could save lives. The full cast list reads like a who's who, including Martin Bobb-Semple, Jack Bannon, and Celia Imrie, but honestly, most are playing fresh characters invented for the show.
Remember, this is the same project announced in May 2024 with Phoebe Waller-Bridge (yeah, the Fleabag creator) running the writers' room as showrunner. With cameras rolling later this year, we should finally get real dirt on how they're tackling Lara's origin story. Prime, better not sleep on giving us trailer footage soon.
