Sophie Turner to lead Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Tomb Raider series

Sophie Turner will take on the role of Lara Croft in Phoebe Waller-Bridge's new Tomb Raider series. According to Deadline, the Game of Thrones actor is in negotiations to take on the lead in the Amazon series based on the hit gaming franchise. It had been reported last month that Turner was competing against Bohemian Rhapsody's Lucy Boynton for the role. The live-action series is a major priority for Amazon and would mark the first project that Waller-Bridge has embarked upon since signing up with the company back in 2019. The deal is worth a reported 20m a year.
