Girl with the Dragon Tattoo sequel coming in 2018 with new cast

Los Angeles — 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 on 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.

Columbia released a David Fincher adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in 2011 starring Mara and Daniel Craig. Rumours of a follow-up with the same cast have circled for years.

Alvarez, who directed the thriller Don't Breathe is on the hunt for new actors.
