In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Turner spoke about her intense preparation ahead of the show’s filming, and then revealed that her take on the character is not “sex bombshell”. Turner said, “It’s about her and her story and what drives her, rather than what so many people also love about her, which is how hot she is in the games and the movies. But I really want to show the other side. She’s so unashamedly capable. She is not a woman who hides her strengths at all.”

Turner’s Croft looks like she stepped right out of the classic games, and after what the Survivor Trilogy did for the character’s backstory and character, it seems as if this series will pair the story and character development from those games and the iconic overall look from the original games. That would be a true win-win scenario, and we can’t wait to see what this team can do with the franchise.
