The first look at Turner as Croft was captured on the backlot of the Tomb Raider production stages, and as you can see in the photo below, the classic Tomb Raider vibes are very much there. The red-tinted sunglasses, the classic green top and brown shorts, and the holsters on the side make it feel as if Lara stepped out of the video game.
If you were hoping that the live-action series was going to pull from the trademark elements of the Tomb Raider franchise, you have to be pretty happy with the first look resutls. This feels quintessential Tomb Raider, and we can’t wait to see what Waller-Bridge and Turner have in store when the series finally hits screens.

It’s been somewhat of a turbulent journey for the Tomb Raider franchise over the past few years, though that’s not really due to the quality of projects, but simply the lack of them. The only Tomb Raider project that’s hit screens is Netflix’s Tomb Raider: Legend of Lara Croft, featuring Hayley Atwell, but despite positive reception to the second season, there are no plans to continue with a third. On the games side, things had also been relatively quiet until late in the year when Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition hit Nintendo Switch, though that also won great reviews.
