Amazon Prime Video has greenlit a Tomb Raider TV adaptation from Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag). "The series, based on the iconic Tomb Raider video game franchise, follows the adventures of world-famous archaeologist and adventurer Lara Croft,” according to IP owner Embracer Group.
Crystal Dynamics and Amazon MGM Studios will produce, and the series will premiere exclusively on Prime Video.
Now the big question is who would you like to see play Lara Croft!?

I guess it kinda depends on when in her life it takes place. I’d adore Gemma Arterton to give Lara a go though.
awww fam that’s actually a great shout I have never thought of! Good call! I also wonder about Alexandra Daddario or if it’s going for a younger story with Lara maybe Hailee Steinfeld could be a shout!?
Steinfeld already has that pre-req of bow handling skills haha
haha true!
Honestly, wouldn't mind seeing Katie McGrath as Lara she carries her roles as smart characters really well. Michelle Ryan might also be a good shout, if it's a slightly older Lara.
But I'm gonna remain skeptical until the series actually drops, whilst Amazon did a fantastic job with Fallout I'm concerned about the possibility of DEI inserts ruining something that could be a big W for Amazon. Especially considering who's writing it.
Willing to give it a shot and benefit of the doubt until we know more about cast and setting but keeping expectations to a minimum to avoid disappointment! Probably what helped Fallout be such a huge success, people weren't expecting much because generally video game adaptions suck or have soured.
