Sophie Turner has clearly been putting in the effort at the gym, and it’s paying off in a big way.

Prime Video has unveiled the first glimpse of Turner in her role as Lara Croft for the upcoming live-action series “Tomb Raider,” currently in the midst of production. The reveal has sparked excitement across social media platforms.

One user on X marveled at her transformation, exclaiming, “My God… she looks like she stepped out of the games.”

Another fan expressed their enthusiasm, stating, “Sophie Turner as Lara Croft is genuinely so striking. I’ve got full faith this adaptation at Prime Video is going to be REALLY up my alley. I just can’t get over how phenomenal she looks.”

Over on Instagram, the excitement was just as palpable. “OH MY GOD! SHE LOOKS PERFECT! I didn’t expect they would go with a look so classic!” one user commented, capturing the widespread anticipation for this new take on the iconic character.

The photo reveal comes days after Turner opened up about the intense training she endured to gear up for her role as Croft during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “The Julia Cunningham Show.” 

After Cunningham asked Turner what her training regimen looked like, the “Game of Thrones” alum made a surprising admission.

“We’ve been doing eight hours a day, five days a week since February last year of training, so it’s been a lot,” Turner said. 

“What do you think was the most surprising thing that you’ve learned about your body when doing that?” Cunningham asked. 

“I’ve learned I have a perpetual back problem, but I also realized that it’s much easier to kind of build muscle if you’ve ever worked out before in your life, which I never had, so it has taken me months and months and months to get into good shape,” Turner admitted. “That’s what I’ve learned.”

When Cunningham asked if her “Game of Thrones” role helped at all, Turner said, “No, I was the cool queen who, like, didn’t have to do that. I also just kind of was the one that got beat up, not the one doing the beating. So, it’s quite nice to learn how to throw a punch and not just take it.”
