Since 2024 it has been said that Sophie Turner could play Lara Croft in the new “Tomb Raider” series from Amazon. After all, she showed on Instagram that she has enough six -pack and biceps for daring adventures.
Some roles demand hard training
The fact that actors: sometimes adapt their lifestyle for film roles to correspond to certain body characteristics of the characters is nothing new. So Natalie Portman had to get a strict diet and hard dance training for her work in “Black Swan” and Chris Hemsworth also spent numerous extra hours in the gym for films such as “Thor: Love and Thunder”.
Now Sophie Turner also shows that she has the appropriately well-trained body for the role of action heroine Lara Croft. On Instagram she shared a post from her friend’s bachelor party and singer Taura Lamb. Her muscles can be clearly seen in some pictures. As “Bild” reports, she presented her trained biceps in a now deleted photo.
As an action heroine, Sophie Turner already has experience
Turner has already taken over several demanding roles in the past, including Sansa Stark in “Game of Thrones” or Jean Gray in “X-Men: Apocalypse”. The rumors about the occupation of Lara Croft have not yet been confirmed. In November 2024, however, “Variety” and “Deadline” reported on the possible participation.
Problems with the new “Tomb Raider” series?
“Tomb Raider” is an action video game that is one of the best-selling game series worldwide. Between 2001 and 2018, the history of Lara Croft has been filmed three times. Angelina Jolie represented the best -known line -up of the part, which in 2001 slipped into “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” and in 2003 in “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life”. In both films, Croft goes in search of magical artifacts and has to face several obstacles.
Since April it has been repeatedly reported that Amazon is said to have some problems behind the scenes with the new “Tomb Raider” series. There were even rumors that the project had been put on hold in the meantime. Sophie Turner’s current Instagram pictures could be a glimmer of hope for some fans.
