Tomb Raider’ first look: Sophie Turner revealed as Lara Croft in Prime Video series – HeyUGuys

Amazon Prime Video’s hotly anticipated Tomb Raider live-action series has officially begun production, with a first-look image of star Sophie Turner as the iconic Lara Croft dropping on January 15, 2026, sending fans into a frenzy. The photo, snapped by Jay Maidment for Prime, shows Turner in classic Croft gear: a teal tank top, tactical holsters, dual pistols on her thighs, and those signature shades, ponytail whipping in the wind against a gritty backdrop. Just weeks later, set leaks from Surrey, England, captured Turner parachuting and performing her own stunts, echoing predecessors Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander.

Developed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge – the Fleabag and Indiana Jones scribe – the series dives into the video game canon, following archaeologist-adventurer Lara Croft on globe-trotting quests riddled with traps, puzzles, and ancient evils. No episode count or premiere date yet, but insiders eye a 2027 debut post-filming wrap. Principal photography kicked off January 15 at Shepperton Studios and London locations, under director Jonathan van Tulleken.

The project, greenlit in May 2024 by Amazon MGM Studios and Crystal Dynamics, traces back to January 2023 rumors of Waller-Bridge’s involvement. Turner, 29, was locked in November 2024 after outshining hopefuls, gushing: “Lara has always felt… emboldened in a male-dominated world. She’s a fierce female role model!” Waller-Bridge added: “This cast is beyond my wildest dreams!”

Waller-Bridge co-showruns with Chad Hodge, executive producing via Wells Street Productions. Others include Dmitri M. Johnson (Story Kitchen), Legendary Television, and Crystal Dynamics reps. Amazon MGM head Peter Friedlander hyped: “Tomb Raider has always been defined by bold storytelling.”

The franchise, born in 1996 from Core Design (later Crystal Dynamics), has sold over 100 million copies. Lara Croft, the dual-wielding tomb raider, redefined female leads in gaming. Reboots like 2013’s Survivor trilogy (starring Camilla Luddington vocally) grossed billions. Movies? Jolie’s 2001-2003 duo raked $432M but drew campy flak; Vikander’s 2018 reboot earned $274M amid mixed reviews.

TBA; Game-canon faithful?

Prime rides the video game adaptation wave post-Fallout and The Last of Us triumphs. Two new games loom: Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis (2026) and Catalyst (2027).

Fan trailers exploded: “Tomb Raider – First Trailer (2026) Live Action | Sophie Turner” by channels like Teaser Universe (3 days old) blends set leaks with epic raids, racking views. Others feature Tom Holland rumors (unconfirmed).

Skeptics question Turner’s action chops post-divorce headlines, but her X-Men flips and prep – comics, gameplay – counter. Waller-Bridge’s edgy script promises canon nods like Zip and Winston. Amid Prime’s Fallout smash (65M views), Tomb Raider could tomb the skeptics – or join Borderlands’ bust. With Weaver’s gravitas and Isaacs’ menace, it’s primed for glory. Stay tuned for trailer teases.
