During an appearance on The Julia Cunningham Show, Sophie Turner opened up about the intense preparation behind filming the Tomb Raider reboot. She revealed, “We’ve been doing eight hours a day, five days a week, since February last year of training, so it’s been a lot”.
Turner also shared details about the physical toll the demanding schedule has taken, admitting she discovered an ongoing back issue during production.
