Amazon's Tomb Raider live-action series production paused after Sophie Turner injury

For now, the pause is expected to last around two weeks

Production on the upcoming Amazon’s Tomb Raider live-action series at MGM Studios has been temporarily paused. This is due to the lead actress Sophie Turner’s injury, who is playing the iconic Lara Croft.

The studio has confirmed the halted production in the official statement, also explaining that Sophie has sustained a minor injury. Due to this, the filming has been paused as a precaution.

This break will allow the actress to recover fully before the production resumes. Let’s check out more details in this article.

Temporary pause expected to last two weeks

According to the latest reports from Deadline, the production shutdown is expected to last two weeks.

Despite the delay, the crew members will continue to receive their pay during this period, which will ensure minimal disruption behind the scenes.

The details about how the injury occurred, whether it was on the set or elsewhere, have not been disclosed yet. Since Sophie is playing the main character, Lara Croft, the filming cannot be continued without her involvement.

The Tomb Raider live-action series pause may continue if she does not recover fully in the two weeks’ time.

New era for Lara Croft

Fans first saw Sophie Turner take on the mantle earlier this year, marking a new chapter in the life of the famed adventurer. She is now following the footsteps of Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander, both of whom portrayed Lara Croft on the big screen.

Fans and gamers are also getting two new Tomb Raider games in 2026 and 2027.

Conclusion

For now, no updated production timeline has been announced beyond the initial two-week delay. However, the studio remains hopeful that they can resume the Tomb Raider live-action filming and continue the development without any major setbacks.

Fans are also hoping that Sophie Turner will recover quickly and will return as healthy as possible for the filming.
