Summary
- Turner stars as office drone turned action hero in new thriller 'Steal'.
- She learned acting on 'Game of Thrones' with the world watching.
- Turner is training intensely for her upcoming role as Lara Croft.

Sophie Turner, famed for her role as Sansa Stark in 'Game of Thrones,' is back with a leading role in the new Prime Video drama 'Steal.' She portrays Zara, an office worker caught in a tense corporate heist, demonstrating a compelling blend of fear, exhaustion, and determination. The film's narrative deliberately blurs lines between victim and perpetrator, creating a disorienting yet captivating viewing experience.
Turner reflects on her early career, admitting embarrassment about her initial acting methods learned on 'Game of Thrones' under intense public observation. She sought a period of self-discovery after the show concluded, taking a break from her career to focus on personal life and family. This hiatus, she notes, led to a need to rebuild career momentum.
Her return to acting includes intense training for the upcoming 'Tomb Raider' series, where she will embody Lara Croft. This physically demanding preparation marks a significant shift from her previous roles. Turner also observes the contemporary trend of wealthy individuals replacing stereotypical villains, a change she finds positive and less prone to racial bias.
