Amazon MGM Studios has confirmed the addition of new cast members to its upcoming Tomb Raider<\/em> series, led by Sophie Turner as Lara Croft.<\/p>\n

Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Celia Imrie, Bill Paterson, Martin Bobb-Semple, Jack Bannon, John Heffernan, Bill Paterson, Paterson Joseph, Sasha Luss, Juliette Motamed, Celia Imrie and August Wittgenstein have officially joined the series.<\/p>\n

Phoebe Waller-Bridge is serving as creator, writer, executive producer and co-showrunner alongside Chad Hodge as co-showrunner and executive producer.<\/p>\n

The series is based on the iconic Tomb Raide<\/em>r video game franchise, which follows the adventures of world-famous archaeologist and adventurer Lara Croft.<\/p>\n

“Tomb Raider<\/em> has always been defined by bold storytelling and unforgettable characters, and these new cast members bring incredible depth and gravitas to the series,\u201d said Peter Friedlander, head of Amazon MGM Studios. \u201cWith talents like Sigourney Weaver and Jason Isaacs joining the ensemble, we’re elevating this world in exciting new ways, and can’t wait for our global Prime Video audience to experience this next chapter of Tomb Raider<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

“I’ve been a long-time fan of Tomb Raider<\/em> and the character of Lara,\u201d said Turner. \u201cShe has always felt, for me, very emboldened in a male-dominated world. She’s a fierce female role model!”<\/p>\n

“Tomb Raider<\/em> boasts a plethora of iconic characters,\u201d said Waller-Bridge. \u201cI am thrilled to have been able to bring some personal and fan favourites to the screen while also introducing a few new rascals of our own to the mix. This cast is beyond my wildest dreams!” –<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
