Sophie Turner in Tomb Raider?
The actress was reportedly in talks to star as Lara Croft in the series adaptation of the video game franchise Tomb Raider from Emmy-winning Phoebe Waller-Bridge. It was reported last year that Turner was among the actresses who tested for the high-profile role, previously played on the big screen by Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander.
Tomb Raider, which Amazon MGM head Jennifer Salke called “epic” and “globe-trotting” while announcing the series order in May, has been a passion project for writer/executive producer Waller-Bridge, who spoke fondly of the title character at the time of the pickup.
“Lara Croft means a lot to me, as she does to many, and I can’t wait to go on this adventure. Bats ‘n all,” she said in May.
