Sophie Turner’s Big Adventure: Possibly Picking Up Lara Croft’s Ponytail

Sophie Turner may be leveling up from Queen in the North to Queen of Tomb Raiding! Word on the Hollywood grapevine is that the 28-year-old Game of Thrones star is this close to signing on to play the legendary treasure hunter, Lara Croft, in Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s new Tomb Raider series for Prime Video. Yep, Westeros might have been good practice, but how about a crossbow and maybe a jet ski?

Apparently, the casting situation has been bubbling for weeks now. Back in October, insiders teased that it was between Sophie and Lucy Boynton for the role—meaning the two had to face off in the most high-stakes screen test since, well, maybe just your average day in GOT. If Sophie bags this role, she’ll be following in the mighty combat boots of Angelina Jolie, who practically patented the move of diving into ancient ruins with guns blazing.

But don’t count your pyramids just yet! The official paperwork is still in the works, so there’s no “Sophie IS Lara” headline to paste on your vision boards yet. If she does sign on, though, Sophie will join a long line of actresses who’ve had the honor of awkwardly sprinting through muddy forests while holding priceless artifacts and dodging bad guys.

So, for now, we wait, rewatch Game of Thrones to remind ourselves how fierce she is, and maybe keep our fingers crossed that this whole “Lara Croft reboot” thing has her wielding some modern updates—like a grappling hook made of Amazon Prime subscriptions. Stay tuned!
