Sony Pictures Entertainment has announced that Emmy-nominated actress Claire Foy will portray the heroine Lisbeth Salander in their upcoming adaptation of The Girl in the Spider’s Web.
The studio continues its development of the next book in the Millennium series, The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye, which was released this week.
The Girl in the Spider’s Web will be the first in the best-selling series to be produced into an English-language film in its initial adaptation.
The film will team Foy and director Fede Alvarez, who recently took the thriller Don’t Breathe to over $150 million worldwide and revived the Evil Dead franchise.
