‘Tomb Raider’: Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs & More Confirmed For Cast Of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Series Reboot

We’ve been curious to see who would end up rounding out the cast for Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s (“Fleabag,” “No Time To Die”) high-profile video game series, “Tomb Raider,” that has “Game of Thrones” star Sophie Turner playing archaeologist, treasure hunter, and adventurer, Lara Croft (taking up the role previoulsy played by Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander)

Today, not only has Sigourney Weaver (“The Mandalorian & Grogu,” “Avatar: Fire & Ash”) been confirmed by Amazon to be playing Evelyn Wallis (via an official social media post) for the series reboot co-showrun by Chad Hodge and Waller-Bridge, but she was also named alongside a new batch of cast members.

Those new additions and official character breakdowns include Jason Isaacs (Atlas DeMornay, Lara’s uncle), Martin Bobb-Semple (Zip, Lara Croft’s long-standing tech support and friend), Jack Bannon (Gerry, Lara’s personal pilot and snack collector), John Heffernan (David, an exhausted government official who finds himself tangled up in Lara’s unusual world), Bill Paterson (Winston, the long-standing Croft family butler), Paterson Joseph (Thomas Warner, a senior government official brought in to clean up an almighty mess), Sasha Luss (Sasha, a fierce, intensely competitive new adversary of Lara’s), Juliette Motamed (Georgia, a devoted, by-the-books curator at the British Museum, dedicated to the “proper” preservation of history), Celia Lmrie (Francine, the Head of Advancement at the British Museum, focused solely on raising funds and glasses of champagne), and August Wittgenstein (Lukas, an illegal raider who shares history with Lara in more ways than one).

“‘Tomb Raider’ boasts a plethora of iconic characters,” said co-showrunner Phoebe Waller-Bridge in an official statement. “I 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!”

Turner, adding her own excitement for the Croft role, “I’ve been a longtime fan of Tomb Raider and the character of Lara. She has always felt for me, very emboldened in a male-dominated world. She’s a fierce female role model!”

“Tomb Raider” is executive produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Crystal Dynamics, Waller-Bridge, and Jenny Robins through Wells Street Films, Dmitri M. Johnson, Michael Lawrence Goldberg, and Timothy I. Stevenson through Story Kitchen, Michael Scheel, and Legendary Television. It is also co-executive produced by Matt McInnis and Jan R. Martin.
