Amazon Finally Confirms Sophie Turner as Lara Croft in ‘Tomb Raider’ Series

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-19 04:15:47

In a not-so-surprising announcement, Amazon MGM Studios has named the star of its long-gestating Tomb Raider series: Sophie Turner.

Those same reports noted that Turner had been chosen over the other contender, Bohemian Rhapsody‘s Lucy Boynton, but that the deal wasn’t yet official. Now, Variety confirms that not only is Turner set for the part, but also th
