The acclaimed star of The Crown replaces Rooney Mara in the role of the troubled hacker/cult figure introduced by the late author Stieg Larsson in Millennium novel series.

Lisbeth Salander, the cult figure and title character of the acclaimed Millennium book series created by Stieg Larsson, will return to the screen in The Girl in the Spider’s Web, a first-time adaptation of the recent global bestseller.
