The full cast for Prime Video‘s upcoming live-action Tomb Raider series has just been unveiled.
In a post on X, Amazon MGM Studios has confirmed that Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Celia Imrie, Bill Paterson, and more will star alongside Sophie Turner in the series.
Turner is, of course, playing Lara Croft, while Isaacs will play her uncle, Atlas DeMornay, and Paterson the Croft family’s butler, Winston. Martin Bobb-Semple will play the final non-original character, Zip, Lara Croft’s long-standing tech support and friend.
Everyone else is playing new additions to the Tomb Raider franchise. Jack Bannon is Gerry, Lara’s personal pilot and snack collector; John Heffernan is David, an exhausted government official who finds himself tangled up in Lara’s unusual world; Imrie is Francine, the head of advancement at the British Museum, focused solely on raising funds and glasses of champagne; and Paterson Joseph is Thomas Warner, a senior government official brought in to clean up an almighty mess.
There’s also Sasha Luss as Sasha, a fierce, deeply competitive new adversary of Lara’s; Juliette Motamed as Georgia, a devoted, by-the-books curator at the British Museum, dedicated to the “proper” preservation of history; and August Wittgenstein as Lukas, an illegal raider who shares history with Lara in more ways than one.
Lastly, Weaver will play Evelyn Wallis, a mysterious, high-flying woman who is keen to exploit Lara’s talents.
“Tomb Raider boasts a plethora of iconic characters,” said Phoebe Waller-Bridge in a statement, via Deadline. “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.”
Waller-Bridge is serving as creator, writer, executive producer, and co-showrunner on Tomb Raider alongside Chad Hodge as co-showrunner and executive producer. Production on the series will kick off later this month.
