    Phoebe Waller-Bridge to Write Live-Action “Tomb Raider” TV Series

    Mary Anne ButlerBy No Comments

    After what feels like forever, the legend of “Tomb Raider” will continue in live-action. Following the actually-pretty-solid Alicia Vikander film from 2018 and news of an animated series featuring Haley Atwell (“Agent Carter,” “Mission: Impossible- Dead Reckoning Part One“), what’s next for iconic character?

    Turns out, a live-action series for Amazon Prime Video!

    While no casting news has been announced yet, Melissa Barrera is rumored to be one of the leading contenders to take on the mantle of Lady Lara Croft.

    Phoebe Waller-Bridge (“Fleabag,” “Solo: A Star Wars Story“) will pen the series. Early reports indicate she will not appear in the show, but, the same was said of “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” which she co-starred in. So. We’ll see.

    Crystal Dynamics has partnered with Prime Video for the series. We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.
