For her part, Mara, who portrays protagonist Lisbeth Salander, has stated she is still on board for The Girl Who Played With Fire if it’s ever green lit.
With updates on the series few and far between, it’s difficult to say if there will ever be another Dragon Tattoo film.
This development may be disappointing to fans eager to see Mara play Lisbeth once more, but it’s hardly the most surprising.
It remains to be seen what will happen, but at least Mara is prepared for the worst case scenario.
