Jason Isaacs Joins the Cast of Amazon’s Live-Action Tomb Raider Series

Veteran actor Jason Isaacs has officially joined the cast of Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming live-action Tomb Raider series, adding serious weight to the project. Isaacs is widely known for his role as Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter film saga, as well as standout performances in Black Hawk Down, The Patriot, Star Trek: Discovery, and more recently The White Lotus. His casting signals that Amazon is aiming high with this new adaptation of the iconic video game franchise.

The series will be led by Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones), who has been confirmed to play Lara Croft, marking a new era for the legendary adventurer. Alongside Isaacs, Sigourney Weaver is also confirmed as part of the cast, further raising expectations. Weaver, an icon of sci-fi and action cinema thanks to her roles in Alien, Avatar, and Ghostbusters, brings decades of genre credibility to the series. Martin Bobb-Semple has also been announced as a series regular, although details about his character remain under wraps.

Developed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) for Amazon Studios, the Tomb Raider series is part of a broader transmedia strategy that includes games and other adaptations. Filming is expected to begin in 2026, and while plot details are still tightly guarded, the growing list of high-profile cast members makes it clear that Amazon is positioning Tomb Raider as a flagship action series with global ambitions.
