We finally have our Lara Croft, well over two years after Prime Video's Tomb Raider series was first announced. Game of Thrones alum Sophie Turner has been cast in the role, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She had better start trying on khaki shorts and blue sleeveless shirts.
Turner acknowledges the "massive shoes to fill" from previous actors that have played the role, shouting out Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander. She also says she can't wait for audiences "to see what we have cooking."
We also now know when the show will enter production. Filming starts on January 19. We don't know when the series will come out, but at least we know it's a real thing that's going to get filmed.
Sophie Turner set to star as Lara Croft in upcoming Tomb Raider series from Amazon MGM Studios.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge serves as creator, writer, executive producer and co-showrunner.
