Sophie Turner is fully immersed in the role of Lara Croft, with new set videos and photos showing the actress in the midst of some adrenaline-pumping action scenes. Turner stars in Prime Video’s long-awaited Tomb Raider series, which is currently filming in Surrey, England. Fans have seen glimpses of her brandishing dual pistols, engaging in intense gunfights, and performing demanding stunts, all indicative of her rigorous training over the past few months.
A recent video shot by the Daily Mail provides the clearest look yet at what the ambitious film adaptation will look like. In the footage, Turner’s Lara Croft fires her iconic dual-wielding pistol at an unseen enemy before throwing a grenade through a small window. This is a classic fighting move straight out of the video game series. The clip also highlights important gameplay elements. Lara makes full use of her arsenal for crowd control, paying homage to the series’ 30-year tradition. The character’s signature dual pistols feature prominently in contrast to the more modest weapons seen in recent games like the Survivor trilogy.
In the set photo, you can see a modern 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 pants, a brown jumper layered under a blue vest, 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 neat braids, highlighting her character’s adventurous and practical aesthetic.
The series is created, written and executive produced by Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge. 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 played Lara Croft in the film adaptation. As of now, the release date for the series has not yet been announced.
