Sophie Turner is nearly set for the lead role in Amazon’s upcoming “Tomb Raider” TV series, Variety has confirmed with sources. Sources say that the deal is not fully closed yet but is expected to close soon.

Alas, here I am standing excited to see Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner potentially crowned as the next live-action Lara Croft. But who she’s teaming up with is even more exciting, especially for fans of the James Bond movies.

Sophie Turner is in talks to star as Lara Croft in Amazon's 'Tomb Raider' series. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is writing and executive producing the live-action show, which received a series order in the spring.
