Look, we’re not judging, we know it’s all about the archeology and not the priceless swag.

Things have been heating up recently in terms of chatter about who was testing for the role , therefore putting themselves in line to be handed some pistols to dual wield and pointed in the direction of some long lost ruin that may or may not contain something interesting among, you know, all the dead bodies, so it’s no suprise a decision now looks to have been made.

According to both Deadline and Variety , Sophie Turner’s the one currently being pencilled in as Lara, with negotiations to make that a formal thing being in progress. Variety writes that while these talks haven’t yet been concluded, the deal is currently “expected to close soon”.

So, unless something changes, Sansa Stark’s (or at least the actress that played her) looking set to be leaving Westeros to go acquire some old stuff, following in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander.

Are you looking forward to seeing how this Tomb Raider TV series turns out, and do you think Turner’ll make a good Lara? Let us know below!
