Prime Video Reveals First Look at Sophie Turner’s Lara Croft as Tomb Raider Begins Production

Phoebe Waller-Bridge leads the adaptation, with no release date announced.

Overview

  • Amazon MGM Studios released the image and confirmed filming is underway in the U.K., with reports indicating a Jan. 19 production ramp-up.
  • Turner’s look mirrors the 1996 game design—teal tank top, shorts, red sunglasses, gloves and dual pistols—signaling a deliberate nod to classic Lara Croft.
  • Sigourney Weaver plays new character Evelyn Wallis and Jason Isaacs portrays Atlas DeMornay, with Martin Bobb-Semple as Zip and Bill Paterson as Winston.
  • Waller-Bridge is creator, writer and co-showrunner alongside Chad Hodge, with Jonathan van Tulleken directing and executive producing in partnership with Crystal Dynamics and Story Kitchen.
  • Turner says she has trained intensively since February 2025 and is immersing in the games and comics while avoiding prior films to shape her own portrayal.
