It’s official—Sophie Turner has leveled up from Queen of the North to Queen of Tomb Raiding. Yep, the 29-year-old actress has been confirmed as the new Lara Croft in Prime Video’s upcoming *Tomb Raider* series, which means she’ll be jumping off cliffs, dodging arrows, and solving puzzles like it’s her full-time job.
But wait, it gets juicier. This whole project is being led by none other than Phoebe Waller-Bridge—aka the chaotic genius behind *Fleabag*. She’s writing, producing, and basically building Lara Croft’s new universe from the ground up. Translation: expect sass, drama, and maybe Lara making you laugh right before she smashes a bad guy with an ancient relic.
Sophie dropped a statement that was equal parts humble and hype: she’s “thrilled beyond measure” to take on the role and shouted out the OG Crofts—Angelina Jolie (the blueprint) and Alicia Vikander (the reboot queen). Basically, she knows she’s stepping into legendary boots and is ready to lace them up tight.
Production officially kicks off in January 2026, so start practicing your backflips now because Lara Croft is about to dominate your screen all over again.
