Prime Video has unveiled the first official image from its upcoming Tomb Raider television reboot, offering fans an early look at Sophie Turner stepping into the role of legendary adventurer Lara Croft.

In the image posted to social media, Turner in dressed in Croft’s recognizable gear, including a green tank top, black shorts, sunglasses, and dual pistols, complete with the character’s signature braid and tactical accessories. The series, based on the iconic video game franchise, is currently in production and was first greenlit in 2024, with Turner’s casting confirmed later that year.

Turner follows in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie, who portrayed Croft in the early 2000s films, and Alicia Vikander, who starred in the 2018 reboot. Minnie Driver previously voiced the character in the animated web series Revisioned: Tomb Raider.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge serves as the show’s creator, writer, and executive producer, with Chad Hodge also on board as co-showrunner. The ensemble cast includes Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Martin Bobb-Semple, Jack Bannon, John Heffernan, Bill Paterson, Paterson Joseph, Sasha Luss, Juliette Motamed, Celia Imrie, and August Wittgenstein.

Following the announcement of her casting, Turner shared her excitement for the role, saying, “I’ve been a long-time fan of Tomb Raider and the character of Lara,” and added, “They’re massive shoes to fill, following in the steps of Angelina and Alicia with their powerhouse performances, but with Phoebe at the helm, we (and Lara) are all in very safe hands.” She also teased what’s ahead, noting, “I can’t wait for you all to see what we have cooking.”

An official release date for the Prime Video series has not yet been announced.
