Sophie Turner describes her experience playing Zara in the Prime Video drama Steal, a role that she says is much more than just a damsel in distress. Turner's character undergoes significant development, exhibiting traits of nihilism and deep-seated rage stemming from her troubled childhood.
Turner praises the show's originality, particularly its refusal to make simplistic moral judgments. The series' focus on the corrupting influence of wealth is both timely and thought-provoking, tackling issues that have become increasingly relevant in recent years. Turner notes that this approach makes the villains more nuanced and complex, blurring the lines between good and evil.
Working with a talented cast, including Turner herself, proved challenging due to the elaborate prosthetics worn by the actors playing the villains. "It was quite method," Turner recalls, as director employed an unorthodox approach to gauge reactions from the performers.
Turner highlights the importance of fans' energy in sustaining her career, particularly after Game of Thrones wrapped up its run. Her decision to take a break and focus on herself during a tumultuous period allowed for personal growth but also created a gap in momentum that she's since worked to rebuild.
When discussing future projects, Turner reveals an affinity for romantic comedies, having rarely ventured into the genre before. She acknowledges the scientific nature of comedy, requiring precise timing and delivery, which makes it more challenging than drama.
Turner has now turned her attention to Phoebe Waller-Bridge's upcoming adaptation of Tomb Raider, marking a significant return to screen work after taking time off to focus on motherhood. With Steal now available on Prime Video, Turner returns home with the series, bringing a sense of nostalgia and familiarity to her role as Zara.

. It's awesome that she's not afraid to take on roles with depth and nuance, showcasing her range as an actress. The show's refusal to make simplistic moral judgments is super refreshing, it's like they're trying to keep us guessing

. Anyway, it's great to see Turner back on screen and I'm curious to see her in Tomb Raider now too 
, and i'm so here for it! the way she describes playing zara is so on point - it's not just about being a damsel in distress, but about complexity and nuance 
.
. It's not always easy being in the spotlight, and she's using this experience to grow and come back stronger 
!
. the fact that they didn't make villains too simplistic is a win in my book, it makes them way more interesting 
. can't wait to watch this show myself and see how it tackles the whole wealth thing... btw, anyone else loving the nostalgic vibe of Sophie Turner back on screen?

she was literally robbed in Game of Thrones tbh but idk if Steal will live up to the hype yet? the whole 'nuanced villains' thing sounds like a fancy way of saying they're still gonna be super evil
