Fans given first look at Sophie Turner as Lara Croft in the new Tomb Raider series

Move over Angelina Jolie, there's a new Tomb Raider in town!

Amazon MGM Studios and Prime Video have given fans a first look at British actress Sophie Turner as Lara Croft for the new Tomb Raider series, as production begins.

In the image, the Game of Thrones star, 29, wears Croft's signature tank singlet, shorts and gun straps and even has her hair styled in a braid with her fringe out as she completely channels the iconic video game character.

Watch the videos above.

"Get your artifacts out. She's on her way…" a press release read alongside the image of Turner as the archaeologist.

Turner has been putting everything into the role, training for hours at a time five days a week to play Croft.

"We've been doing eight hours a day, five days a week since February last year of training, so it's been a lot," she said on the SiriusXM's The Julia Cunningham Show.

"I've learned I have a perpetual back problem, but I also realised 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.

"That's what I've learned."
