Sophie Turner is currently trending due to her involvement in two significant projects: her portrayal of Lara Croft and a reunion with former co-star Kit Harington in the upcoming gothic horror film “The Dreadful.” The excitement surrounding her first look as Lara Croft, a highly anticipated role, has sparked considerable interest. The visuals associated with this character are often iconic, and Turner’s casting has generated curiosity among fans of both the actress and the Tomb Raider franchise.
In addition to the Lara Croft reveal, the exclusive trailer for “The Dreadful” features Turner and Harington reuniting in a romantic context. Their previous collaboration in the acclaimed series “Game of Thrones” contributes to the heightened interest, particularly for fans who have been eagerly awaiting their on-screen chemistry in a new genre. The combination of these two projects has likely led to a significant spike in searches as audiences seek more information and visuals related to Turner’s recent and upcoming roles.
News reports, particularly from sources like People.com and BBC, have highlighted these developments, further amplifying interest in Turner. As fans respond to the mix of nostalgia and anticipation for new content, the volume of searches has surged, surpassing 50,000 as viewers look to engage with the latest updates about the actress and her work. The simultaneous release of materials related to both projects is likely a key factor driving the current search interest.

L
I can’t judge yet. I need to see first how she ragdolls down a cliff when she misses a ledge in a jump.
S
Let’s see how well she can act out rebar through the jaw in black and white.
A
The deaths in that game were so uncalled for lol. Shocked me the first time she died.
P
What got me is how quick she went from this poor frightened girl who was completely terrified to a chick running around sticking ice axes into peoples skulls lol
A
From almost getting sexually assaulted to murder hobo in record time.
D
Now now, she’s no hobo, she’s actually got overwhelming familial wealth 🤣 Murder Nepo Baby maybe
C
Reminds me of the stories over at r/rpghorrorstories
R
I mean I get that but if she reacted properly and had a traumatic breakdown every single time she killed someone it wouldn’t have made for a very fun videogame would it? At least they even took the time to give her an appropriate breakdown when she killed her first person in the game.
P
I’m certainly not saying she should break down after every kill, but it’s hilarious to think that she made that transition so quick lol
A
This was directly addressed in the game, in spoken dialogue, by Lara herself. Always amazes me that this point has persisted for so long. The story of the 2013 game is how Lara Croft BECOMES “Lara Croft” that we all know: Cold, remorseless, ice queen slayer. Not everyone would have the capability of becoming who she ended up becoming, and anyone who COULD would certainly have a different reaction to killing than the average person, and 2013 is consistent with that. In that same vein, people often don’t know aspects of themselves until those aspects have a reason to come out, and for significant aspects, the outside impetus would be rare enough that said aspect wouldn’t be discovered earlier. Again, 2013 is consistent, because most people who have the “I can be a cold calculating killer” gene don’t know that they have it, and will never know, UNLESS they are faced with a situation that causes them to kill, like Lara’s arduous survival situation in 2013. Lara discovering this aspect of herself is a CORE component of 2013, and again, directly addressed in spoken audio dialogue in the game, where Roarke comments on the radio about Lara having to kill, and hoping that it wasn’t too hard on her, and she responds saying she’s troubled how easy it was.
E
-Light spoilers- I’m currently playing through the third “survivor” game. I really like the nuance of how she reacts to things. I’m fresh off the second game; lots of past trauma revealed in notes. Most interesting is that she got a therapist after the events of the first game, trying to unpack the island; turns out he was manipulated or paid off by the -evil conglomerate- and -main antagonist- to push certain things, alienate her from her friends, and groom her to be recruited. At the start of game three, she still struggles to process or talk about what happened, and instead throws herself into countering whatever *they* are trying to do.
V
Getting her skull crushed by the first QTE while escaping the cannibal in the beginning definitely made me jump for the first time.
N
That’s really the worst one though. Isaac Clark from Dead Space wins #1 for most brutal deaths and it’s not even close.
S
Poor Isaac, just tryna be an engineer. Gotta deal with all the bullshit.
L
I see you never played manhunt
G
Calling anything uncalled for while using that profile name is beyond ironic
3
Would be pretty hilarious if they have all these gritty deaths and we just zoop back into Lara’s head *Hmm, maybe the other way..*
T
I think they could get away with it thrice: horrible death first time (for the shock value), horrible maiming second time (a bit less absurd but more believable) and then the third time you wait for the flash back from her imagination but no, she really did break her leg.
S
Discombobulate
K
I want to know if she will explode spontaneously in pieces after executing some specific sequence of jumps.
P
I just want to know how good her QuickTime skills are.
L
I’m only interested if she shoots a dinosaur.
D
With akimbo pistols
T
while backwards somersaulting
X
I can hear the sound of the pistols desyncing all over again… God that was so satisfying back in the day.
I
Fuck, I’m old, and you are too.
F
Hello Olds!
S
What?! Speak up, you’re talking into my bad ear…
L
THEY SAID HOLLOW FOLDS! JESUS
R
WERNER’S INVITING EVERYONE FOR HALF-LIFE 3 PARTY AT THE DORM WHILE NURSES ARE ASLEEP! CALL THE BOYS!
C
I’m old enough to remember playing Tomb Raider 2 and not old enough to have ever finished it. I played the training part of the game maybe 20x. Had no earthly idea what to do or how to play. I would just somersault around. It’s all I ever did in the game. I was 9
E
But did you trap the butler? 😂
T
I know it was a placebo but it always made me feel like it was more damage when they were out of sync.
X
It felt badass the be running full speed with one pistol laying down some hate, and the other in the air but ready to go as you maneuvered.
R
And the butler locked in a freezer.
B
Goddamn wobbly old bastard.
R
[Clinking sound of teacups] *farts* OooooOooOooooooo
G
With an indigenous people’s sacred treasures under her arms.
I
If they wanted them so bad they should have set better traps!
D
“The only reason the pyramids are in Egypt is because the British couldn’t physically lift them.”
M
It belongs in a museum. Laura Croft’s private museum.
R
While tumbling to avoid damage
P
Tumbling right into a spike pit
N
And locks her butler in the freezer.
J
The butler needs to be a gif
D
That would be so cool if the show features this easter egg
B
If in the last episode she doesn’t fight a giant atlantean skinless torso demon its a nah from me
C
The skinless torso demons from Atlantis would be the misunderstood victims all along.
U
Needs to include this and at least one scene where she steps side to side, turns around arbitrarily, does a backwards somersault twist, and all her polygons fall apart and she dies.
