Overview
- Sophie Turner says her Lara Croft will highlight the character’s story, drive and capability rather than sexuality, calling the role a chance to show “the other side.”
- Turner reports months of preparation with eight-hour training days five days a week and says the process revealed a persistent back issue.
- The series is positioned as a franchise origin story, with Jonathan Van Tulleken directing and Chad Hodge involved alongside Waller-Bridge.
- Supporting roles include Sigourney Weaver as Evelyn Wallis, Celia Imrie as Francine at the British Museum, and Jason Isaacs as Lara’s uncle, Atlas DeMornay.
- Early images nod to the 1990s look, drawing approval from game voice actor Alix Wilton Regan, while Prime Video has not announced a release date.
