Keeley Hawes, the talented actress known for her roles in popular TV series like 'Spooks', 'Bodyguard', and 'Line of Duty', has been spotted on the set of Amazon's upcoming 'Tomb Raider' series. This exciting development has fans buzzing with anticipation, especially since Hawes has a deep connection to the franchise. As the voice of the iconic Lara Croft in several games, her involvement in the series is a significant draw for fans. But the speculation doesn't stop there! Rumors are swirling that Hawes might play a pivotal role in Lara's past, potentially as her mother, Lady Amelia Croft. This casting choice would not only pay homage to her previous work but also add a sentimental twist to the narrative, given Lara's quest for her missing mother in 'Tomb Raider Underworld'.
The series, which is still under wraps with no official confirmations from Amazon, promises to be a captivating addition to the 'Tomb Raider' saga. Hawes was recently photographed on set by The Sun, surrounded by two mysterious figures in dark attire, hinting at the intriguing directions the plot could explore. The ensemble cast, including Sophie Turner as Lara Croft, Jason Isaacs, and Celia Imrie, among others, ensures a dynamic and diverse portrayal of characters. The creative vision behind the show is Phoebe Waller-Bridge, known for her work on 'Fleabag' and 'Killing Eve', suggesting a blend of adventure, character development, and wit.
As fans eagerly await more details, the anticipation builds for what could be a new highlight in the 'Tomb Raider' legacy, enriched by Hawes' profound connection to the character of Lara Croft. But here's where it gets controversial... Some fans might argue that Hawes' portrayal of Lara's mother could overshadow the original voice actor, while others might see it as a chance to explore a different side of the character.
