  • Turner, who is set to play Lara Croft, previously disclosed that she discovered a back problem last year while undergoing intense physical training for the role.
  • She described a rigorous training schedule of eight hours a day, five days a week, since February of the previous year, noting the difficulty as she had never worked out before.
  • The live-action series, created by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, also features Sigourney Weaver, Celia Imrie, and Jason Isaacs, with Turner stepping into a role previously portrayed by Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander.
