Sophie Turner as Lara Croft is genuinely so striking,” another quipped. “I’ve got full faith this adaptation at Prime Video is going to be REALLY up my alley. I just can’t get over how phenomenal she looks.”

The photo reveal comes days after Turner opened up about the intense training she endured to gear up for her role as Croft during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “The Julia Cunningham Show.”

After Cunningham asked Turner what her training regimen looked like, the “Game of Thrones” alum made a surprising admission.

“We’ve been doing eight hours a day, five days a week since February last year of training, so it’s been a lot,” Turner said.

“What do you think was the most surprising thing that you’ve learned about your body when doing that?” Cunningham asked.

“I’ve learned I have a perpetual back problem, but I also realized that it’s much easier to kind of build muscle if you’ve ever worked out before in your life, which I never had, so it has taken me months and months and months to get into good shape,” Turner admitted. “That’s what I’ve learned.”
