Sophie Turner is fully immersing herself in the role of Lara Croft, with new set videos and photos showcasing the actress in the midst of adrenaline-fueled action scenes. Turner stars as the lead in Prime Video’s highly anticipated Tomb Raider series, currently filming in Surrey, England. Fans have caught glimpses of her wielding dual pistols, engaging in intense gunfights, and performing demanding stunts, all indicative of her rigorous training over the past months.
Recent videos captured by Daily Mail provide the clearest look yet at the ambitious adaptation. In the footage, Turner’s Lara Croft fires her iconic twin pistols at unseen adversaries before tossing a grenade through a small window—a classic combat move straight out of the video game series. The clips also highlight a key gameplay element: Lara using her full arsenal for crowd control, a nod to the franchise’s 30-year legacy. The dual pistols, a signature feature of the character, are prominently featured, contrasting with the more subdued weaponry seen in recent games like the Survivor Trilogy.
The set photos reveal a modernized take on Lara Croft’s costume. Moving away from the traditional tank top and shorts, Turner’s version features a practical, tactical outfit: khaki cargo trousers, a brown jumper layered beneath a blue waistcoat, and a brown holster belt. She completes the look with black knee-high boots, a knife tucked into her top, and a small backpack. Her long hair is styled in a neat braid, emphasizing the adventurous and utilitarian aesthetic of her character.
The series is created, written, and executive produced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, known for Fleabag. The cast also includes notable stars such as Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, and Celia Imrie.
Sophie Turner follows in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander, who previously portrayed Lara Croft in film adaptations. As of now, the release date for the series has yet to be announced.
