Sophie Turner suffers an injury during filming of ‘Tomb Raider’, prompting a temporary pause in production.
Filming on the highly anticipated ‘Tomb Raider’ series has been temporarily halted following an injury sustained by Sophie Turner, the lead of the project. The actress, who takes on the iconic role of Lara Croft in this new adaptation of the video game universe, has reportedly suffered a minor injury — enough to bring production to a standstill as a precautionary measure.
According to reports from Entertainment Weekly, Amazon MGM Studios confirmed the situation in an official statement: “Sophie Turner recently sustained a minor injury. As a precaution, production has been briefly paused to allow for her recovery. We look forward to resuming filming as soon as possible.” No further details about the nature of the injury have been disclosed.
The series, which began shooting earlier this year, had already generated significant anticipation, particularly after the release of the first images of Turner as Lara Croft. In recent weeks, set photos had also surfaced showing the actress filming action-heavy scenes in England, suggesting a physically demanding and intense interpretation of the character.
The project features a strong supporting cast, including names such as Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs and Jack Bannon, reinforcing the scale and ambition behind this new adaptation.
Behind the series is Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who serves as creator, writer and executive producer, as well as co-showrunner alongside Chad Hodge. Her involvement has been one of the most talked-about elements since the project was first announced, raising expectations for a more contemporary and character-driven take on the franchise.
For now, the priority remains Sophie Turner’s recovery, while the team prepares to resume filming in the coming weeks. An unexpected pause in a production that had, until now, been moving forward with strong momentum.
