Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Tomb Raider Reboot Gets an Exciting Update

As a long-time gamer and fan of the Tomb Raider franchise, I’m both excited and apprehensive about the upcoming Amazon series. Having grown up playing the original games in the late ’90s, Lara Croft was a trailblazer for strong female protagonists and an inspiration to many young gamers like myself. The announcement of a new TV series, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge on board as writer and executive producer, has been met with a mix of excitement and skepticism from the fan community.


Previously this year, it was revealed that “Tomb Raider” is set to make its television debut on Prime Video, spearheaded by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. There’s an update on the timeline for beginning production on the Lara Croft series. Originally launched in 1996 for PC, PlayStation, and Sega Saturn, “Tomb Raider” became a massive hit, leading to a vast franchise encompassing games, comics, novels, action figures, and films. The first movie adaptation, titled “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,” starring Angelina Jolie, was released in 2001, with the most recent installment featuring Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft in 2018.

In a recent conversation with The Wrap, Amazon’s Head of Television Vernon Sanders discussed the current situation of the upcoming “Tomb Raider” series. Although progress is taking some time, Sanders commended Waller-Bridge’s work and hinted that the search for a new Lara Croft would start “soon, not later.”

Based on my extensive experience in the film industry, I can confidently say that our team is putting in long hours and making great strides. We have some fantastic material at hand, and Phoebe’s involvement only adds to our excitement. With her talent and our collective dedication, I believe we stand a strong chance of success. However, there’s still much work to be done. We aim to spend the remainder of this year meticulously preparing for production, which will allow us to hit the ground running in the new year. Our top priority now is to find our Lara Croft – the search will commence without further ado.

The announcement of a fresh Tomb Raider series has sparked varied responses, as some fans have expressed disappointment over Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s involvement. This stems from her role in the 2023 Indiana Jones film, titled “The Dial of Destiny,” which did not resonate with many devoted Indy followers and critics, underperforming at the box office for Disney. With Waller-Bridge now confirmed as the series’ writer and executive producer for Tomb Raider, some have prematurely deemed it a failure. However, considering her previous accomplishments, this assessment is unwarranted.

As a huge fan, I have to admit that Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s acting in “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” didn’t quite live up to my expectations for some viewers. But let’s not forget the amazing television shows she has gifted us with her creative genius! I’m talking about “Fleabag,” which she single-handedly brought to life as its writer, producer, and leading lady. And who could forget the exhilarating spy thriller “Killing Eve”? Phoebe was a key player behind the scenes as an executive producer and writer for this critically acclaimed series. Her talent knows no bounds!

It’s unfair for fans to dismiss Waller-Bridge’s ability to bring “Tomb Raider” to life based on speculation. As an acclaimed writer and creator, she deserves respect. Moreover, Waller-Bridge’s deep connection to the franchise, having been a fan since childhood, should be taken into consideration before passing judgment. It would be prudent for fans to wait until the series premieres before forming an opinion.

If I could share with my teenage self that I’d be involved in bringing Tomb Raider to TV, I believe she would be overwhelmed. This game has significantly impacted my life, and it’s an honor to work on it with such dedicated partners. Lara Croft holds a special place in my heart, as she does for countless others, and I’m excited to embark on this journey. Even bats are included!

It’s time to reconsider the habit of supporting something while simultaneously criticizing those who attempt to innovate within an established icon. And Star Wars fans, we see you! Why be a supporter if all you do is dissect every minor aspect to validate your perspective? Is it for attention on social media or to boost your own ego in comparison to those with significant resources? Instead, consider creating fan fiction if you truly believe you can enhance the story.

I’ve been a long-time fan of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s work, and I must admit, I’m excited about her taking on the challenge of bringing Lara Croft to life in the upcoming reboot. With her unique storytelling abilities and knack for creating complex and relatable characters, I have faith that she’ll breathe new life into this iconic character.
