‘Dragon Tattoo’ Follow-Up Coming In 2018 With New Cast

Lisbeth Salander is coming back to the big screen in 2018, but she won’t be played by Rooney Mara or Noomi Rapace.

Columbia Pictures announced Monday a follow-up to “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” will begin production in September with a new cast, and Fede Alvarez will be the director.

It’ll be based on author David Lagercrantz’s “The Girl in the Spider’s Web,” the fourth book in the series created by Stieg Larsson. The film has been set for an October 2018 release.
