Photos from the set of Amazon Prime's new Tomb Raider series just dropped, giving us one of our first looks at Sophie Turner in the iconic role! The actor was spotted parachuting onto a rain-soaked beach in Surrey, and looked pretty badass.
The plot of Tomb Raider has been awash in mystery, and Sophie told The Julia Cunningham Show (via EW) that security measures are "crazier security than Game of Thrones," noting that reading scripts involves "a million log-ins" and "the face recognition thing." As she put it: "It's like raiding a tomb just getting to the scripts."
Sophie's also been training a ton, and revealed "I’ve learned I have a perpetual back problem, but I also realized that it’s much easier to kind of build muscle if you’ve ever worked out before in your life, which I never had, so it has taken me months and months and months to get into good shape. That’s what I’ve learned."
Fleabag creator and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge is writing and executive producing Tomb Raider for Amazon Prime, and Sophie said she texts her "all day long" and is "totally obsessed."
"I mean, I feel really lucky to have signed on to Tomb Raider and to have, you know, the opportunity to play a character over a certain number of episodes and I love TV," she added. "I love doing TV because you do get to develop and develop over potentially years and years, and so I feel really lucky to be able to have this opportunity and let's hope that it does go on for years and years."
