Production
On November 4, 2015, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Sony Pictures Entertainment was planning to start a new film series of the Millennium series starting from the book The Girl in the Spider's Web by David Lagercrantz. Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig, who acted in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, would not be back for the film, while new actors would be cast, and David Fincher would also not return. Steven Knight was announced to be in talks to adapt the novel, while the producers would be Scott Rudin, Amy Pascal, and Elizabeth Cantillon, along with Yellow Bird's Berna Levin, Søren Stærmose, and Ole Sondberg. TheWrap reported that Sony had showed interest to cast Alicia Vikander for the role of Lisbeth Salander. However, while promoting Carol, Mara stated that she was still signed for the sequel: "As far as I know I'm doing it until someone tells me otherwise [...] I'm doing it unless someone tells me that I'm not--and then I still might do it," she said.
On November 2, 2016, Variety reported that Sony was in negotiations with Fede Álvarez to direct the film, which Eli Bush would also produce the film along with Rudin, Pascal, Cantillon, Søndberg, and Stærmose, while Mara would reprise her role as Salander. But in March 2017, it was revealed that the film would feature an entirely new cast compared to the 2011 film, with the production set to begin in September 2017. In May 2017, it was reported that Claire Foy was the frontrunner to play Salander, and, in September 2017, Foy was officially cast in the film. Following her breakout performance in Blade Runner 2049, Sylvia Hoeks joined the cast in October 2017. In November 2017, Claes Bang and Cameron Britton joined the cast. In December 2017, Sverrir Gudnason joined the cast. In January 2018, Lakeith Stanfield joined the cast. In February 2018, Stephen Merchant, Synnøve Macody Lund, and Vicky Krieps joined the cast. In March 2018, Andreja Peji? joined the cast.
Principal photography began in January 2018 in Berlin, and ended in April 2018, in Stockholm.
