Sophie Turner as Lara Croft for Amazon Prime's 'Tomb Raider.' Jay Maidment/Prime Production on a new Tomb Raider series was put on hold after star Sophie Turner suffered a “minor injury” on set, Variety reports.
A rep for Prime Video confirmed the injury but did not provide any details. “Sophie Turner recently experienced a minor injury,” the spokesperson said. “As a precaution, production has briefly paused to allow her time to recover. We look forward to resuming production as soon as possible.”
The injury was first reported by the British tabloid, The Sun, which claimed that Turner had aggravated a pre-existing back injury. Reps for the actress did not immediately return Rolling Stone’s request for comment.
Turner is starring as archaeologist/adventurer Lara Croft in the new TV adaptation of the hit video game franchise. Production on the series began back in January, and the show is still slated to arrive in 2027. An exact release date hasn’t been revealed yet, and it’s unclear if Turner’s injury will affect the premiere at all.
