Actress speaks about the difference between her and Angelina Jolie's interpretation of the character
www.independent.co.ukHere’s the latest I can share about the Tomb Raider (2018) cast, based on recent reporting up to 2026.
Lara Croft in the 2018 Tomb Raider film (the Alicia Vikander version) remains the core character associated with that film’s cast. The film released in 2018 with Vikander as Lara Croft, and subsequent live-action projects have moved in new directions, with different actors attached to continuing or expanding the franchise in other formats. This version of the cast is distinct from any newer TV or film iterations that followed.[7]
Recent coverage has focused on a live-action Tomb Raider series for Prime Video, with Sophie Turner cast as Lara Croft and the production moving forward in 2025–2026. Reports note Turner’s lead role and a growing cast, including actors like Jason Isaacs and Sigourney Weaver in earlier rounds of announcements, but those names pertain to a different adaptation from the 2018 film.[1][2][8]
There have been ongoing updates about additional cast members for the Prime Video series, including major regulars being added to flesh out the lineup as production ramps up, with media outlets detailing casting milestones in late 2025 and early 2026. These updates illustrate the shift from the 2018 film’s cast to a broader TV ensemble for the new series.[2][1]
If you’re specifically asking about the 2018 film’s cast beyond the lead, the principal ensemble included actors such as Walton Goggins (as Triad leader), Daniel Wu (as Lu Ren), and other supporting players. For the most precise, up-to-date lineups, check the film’s official pages or recent trade coverage, as print/online outlets have varied in listing the full supporting cast over time.[7]

If you’d like, I can pull the latest verified cast lists from current trade outlets or official announcements and summarize them in a neat table, plus provide direct links. Would you prefer a quick table of the 2018 film cast vs. the 2026 Prime Video series cast as of the latest announcements?
