Sophie Turner, renowned for her role as Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, has expressed a strong desire to portray Lara Croft in Amazon’s upcoming Tomb Raider series. According to reports, Turner aims to surpass Angelina Jolie’s iconic portrayal of the character, aspiring to bring a fresh and compelling interpretation to the role.
The series is being developed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, known for creating Fleabag, who will serve as both writer and executive producer. The project is part of Waller-Bridge’s overall deal with Amazon and aims to deliver a new chapter in the Tomb Raider franchise.
However, recent reports suggest that the Amazon Tomb Raider series has been canceled. Sources indicate that despite significant development efforts, the project is no longer moving forward.
Fans of the franchise can still look forward to other adaptations, such as Netflix’s animated series Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, which premiered in October 2024.
