English actress Claire Foy (“The Crown”) is the reported frontrunner to play Lisbeth Salander in the English-language remake of “The Girl in the Spider’s Web”.
Sony are keen to sign the up-and-comer to play the role originated by Rooney Mara in David Fincher’s “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”.
What might keep Foy from the piercing table is a conflict with “The First Man”, the Neil Armstrong biopic that she’s been courted for.
Felicity Jones (“Rogue One : A Star Wars Story”) has also been shortlisted for the Salander role.
