Following in the footsteps of Noomi Rapace and Rooney Mara, The Crown’s Claire Foy is the latest person to play the punky badass hacker Lisbeth Salander on film. Rapace starred in the Swedish-language Millennium trilogy, before Mara landed an Oscar nomination for David Fincher’s English-language remake of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Now Foy has inherited the role, in a film that’s more reboot than sequel, based on an adaptation of the book of the same name (the first to be written by David Lagercrantz, who continued the book series after the death of creator Stieg Larsson). Directed by Fede Alvarez (Evil D𓃲ead, Don’t Breathe), the film looks set to amp up Lisbeth’s avenging angel qualities as she goes about exacting spectacular revenge on very bad men.

You can see Foy in action as Salander below, hidden enigmatically under a black hood as she prepares for her latest act of vengeance. This exclusive image comes courtesy of our sister publication . Check ꦉout the new pic in full below:

For all the surface differences, Foy tells Total Film that there’s a surprising similarity between Spider’s Web’s Lisbeth and The Crown’s Elizabeth II. “There’s a similarity in what people would call a lack of feeling,” Foy explains. “People outside say they can’t show emotion. But they have the entire univ♛erse go🌃ing on inside them. I realised that when I was playing Lisbeth. I thought I was taking on a role where I could be explosive and crazy. But then I realised, ‘No, I’m playing someone who’s emotionally immature. Somebody who is terrified of the world, and lives inside.’ Which is similar to Elizabeth.”
