by

As a longtime fan of Tomb Raider and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, I am excited for Amazon’s upcoming series

I’m thrilled to share that this year, Prime Video and Phoebe Waller-Bridge announced the development of a Tomb Raider television series. Back in 1996, Tomb Raider was introduced as a groundbreaking video game for PC, PlayStation, and Sega Saturn. Over time, it expanded into a global phenomenon, encompassing games, comics, novels, action figures, and movies. The first film adaptation hit theaters in 2001 with Angelina Jolie taking on the iconic role of Lara Croft. More recently, Alicia Vikander stepped into the shoes of this legendary treasure hunter in the 2018 reboot.

In a recent interview with The Wrap, Amazon’s Head of Television Vernon Sanders discussed the plans for the upcoming Lara Croft series. He commended Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s work and shared that the search for a new Lara Croft is imminent. Sanders stated, “We’re putting in a lot of effort. We have excellent content. Phoebe is doing great. We’re really looking forward to it. I believe we’ll spend the remainder of this year preparing things so that we can begin filming early next year. Finding our Lara Croft is the next step, so the worldwide search will commence soon.”

Fans need to support Phoebe Waller-Bridge with her take on Tomb Raider

The new Tomb Raider series drew varied responses from fans, who were apprehensive about Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s participation. This sentiment was fueled by her role in the 2023 Indiana Jones film, “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” which didn’t resonate well with fans or meet the expectations of critics and Disney at the box office. However, it’s important to note that Waller-Bridge boasts an impressive resume as a writer and producer, so dismissing the Tomb Raider series outright is unwarranted.

Tomb Raider Reboot deserves a fair shot, Phoebe Waller-Bridge should get a chance

It would be unfair and disrespectful to the acclaimed writer-creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge for fans to assume she couldn’t bring Tomb Raider to life based on speculation. Given her deep connection to the franchise, having declared it a significant influence on her own development, it is advisable to withhold judgment until we have seen the finished product. Waller-Bridge expressed great excitement at being entrusted with the Lara Croft series, stating that as a longtime fan, she felt incredibly fortunate to be part of its realization alongside passionate collaborators. To her and many others, Lara Croft holds great significance, and she is eagerly anticipating their shared adventure. In essence, let’s give Waller-Bridge the benefit of the doubt and wait for the final outcome.

Stop fans from criticizing new takes

I’ve been a passionate fan of various franchises for as long as I can remember. From Star Wars to James Bond, these stories have shaped my childhood and continue to be a source of joy and inspiration in my adult life. But over the years, I’ve noticed a troubling trend among fans – the tendency to be both a fan and a critic at the same time.
