Tomb Raider star Sophie Turner reveals the new Lara Croft won't rely on sex appeal or an exaggerated physique

 

Amazon has officially unveiled the new Lara Croft for its upcoming series, which is set to begin filming soon. Sophie Turner, the stunning star from Game of Thrones and X-Men, will take on the iconic role. Initially, many felt she wasn't a good fit because non-gamers often perceive Lara Croft as a 'bombshell' adventurer who prioritizes sex appeal over skill. However, the modern games have moved away from that image, focusing primarily on her abilities. Recently, Sophie Turner shared her thoughts, confirming that this Tomb Raider iteration will emphasize Lara’s capabilities rather than her sexiness. Let’s dive into the details

Speaking with the LA Times, Sophie Turner revealed that the Amazon Tomb Raider series will shift focus away from Lara Croft's persona as a 'sex symbol' to prioritize her character and narrative. Turner remarked: 'It’s about her story and what drives her, more than the sex appeal that fans associated with her in past games and films. I want to portray a different side of her; she possesses incredible skills that often go unnoticed, and she’s certainly not someone who hides her power

While film fans might feel let down that the new Lara Croft lacks the 'curvaceous' look of the past, the gaming community sees it differently. For players, Lara’s physical appearance hasn't been the main draw for years. The appeal lies in the intricate puzzles, the global adventure, and a compelling narrative that prioritizes her strength and human vulnerability over sexiness. The disconnect exists because cinema-only fans are still attached to the 'sex symbol' era. This explains the current backlash, which mirrors the mixed reception of the 2018 reboot

Interestingly, the 2018 Lara Croft was a hit with gamers but a miss with film fans, despite the weak script. At its core, the series is about the excitement of the hunt and ancient mysteries, not sexual appeal. Sophie Turner has hit the nail on the head regarding what this adaptation needs. The series is definitely on the right track; now we just have to hope the trailer delivers. It's time to keep our fingers crossed!
