The last time Hollywood took a swing at the Tomb Raider franchise in live action was back in 2018, when Academy Award-winning Alicia Vikander starred as the character in a 2018 film directed by Roar Uthaug. Prior to that, Oscar winner Angelina Jolie starred in a pair of Tomb Raider films in the early 2000s, with the original making $274M at the global box office.
On Netflix, an animated Tomb Raider series with Hayley Atwell voicing Lara Croft was recently renewed for a second season.
As for Turner, she’s best known for her starring role of Sansa Stark on the iconic HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones from 2011 to 2019. She also previously starred Jean Grey / Phoenix in the X-Men franchise, featuring in the films X-Men: Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix.
