Sophie Turner Films Parachute Stunt for Tomb Raider Series

Filming for the upcoming Tomb Raider television series on Prime Video is underway in Surrey, England, where set photos and videos have surfaced showing Sophie Turner performing a parachute stunt as the iconic adventurer Lara Croft.

The images, which began circulating online this week, capture Turner descending over a wooded area near water during a rainy day shoot. Strapped into a harness and wearing a helmet for safety, the 29-year-old actress glides into the scene before packing up her gear and walking into the woods. In subsequent shots, she appears in a tactical suit equipped with holsters on both hips, a departure from the classic outfit revealed in earlier promotional materials. Crew members assisted with the stunt, and Turner was seen smiling confidently between takes, even using an umbrella to shield herself from the downpour.

The series, announced in January 2023, reimagines Lara Croft as an established archaeologist and explorer with a 1990s aesthetic. It draws inspiration from Norse mythology and themes of Ragnarok, though it will not directly connect to the Norse-themed Tomb Raider: Underworld game. Production recently began, and these scenes may come from the pilot...
