Amazon’s New ‘Tomb Raider’ Video Game Star on Becoming Lara Croft, Sophie Turner’s TV Series and the ‘Really, Really Big’ Adventure Coming in ‘Catalyst’

On the heels of a big launch for its new James Bond video game, “007 First Light,” and talks of another 007 film, Amazon is going all in on another classic British character with the upcoming debut of its “Tomb Raider” video game franchise and a live-action TV show.

First up will be “Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis,” which is a remake of the original 1996 “Tomb Raider” game. Following that game’s release in February 2027, the splashy new title, “Tomb Raider: Catalyst,” will launch later that year. And while Amazon Games and developer Crystal Dynamics recently demo’d “Atlantis” for press at Summer Game Fest, little is still known about “Catalyst” beyond an initial plot description.

There’s not much Alix Wilton Regan, who is the voice and performance capture actor portraying Lara Croft in both games, can say right now, but the “Cyberpunk 2077” star told Variety it will be worth the wait.

“I am excited for people to go on a really, really big new adventure with Lara, which I think is slightly going to blow people’s minds, because it blew my mind when I was reading this [script],” Regan says. “When I got the script, having had my mind blown, I then had to have a really big meeting with the writer — like, we need to talk. It blew my mind reading the scripts, so I think it’s gonna blow everyone else’s minds playing the game.”
