Amazon shares first look at Sophie Turner as Lara Croft in upcoming Tomb Raider series

This is a big week for Amazon Prime, with the streaming service having given updates on a number of their upcoming projects. Alongside confirmation that Ryan Hurst is set to play Kratos in the live-action God of War show, Amazon have now released their first promotional image of Sophie Turner as Lara Croft – showing off a look which harkens back to the early days of Tomb Raider.

Taking to Twitter to make the announcement, the official Amazon Prime Video page offered fans a first look at Sophie Turner as Lara Croft for the upcoming live-action series – writing: “Get your artifacts out. Lara's on her way… #TombRaider #WardrobeTest”

Based on the costume, it’s clear that Amazon is going for a look which matches more closely to Croft's earlier entries as compared to the reboot trilogy’s aesthetic; featuring her blue tank top, shorts, fingerless gloves and glasses.

So far, relatively little is known about the plot for the show, however a number of other roles were recently confirmed, with Jason Isaacs playing Lara’s uncle Atlas and Sigourney Weaver taking on the role of original character Evelyn Wallis.

With an interesting cast of characters and a look which is clearly inspired by Lara’s early exploits, it will be curious to see whether the show will follow the plot of any previous games, or if it will be doing its own thing. We will have to wait and see.
