Short description
After being enlisted to recover a dangerous computer program, hacker Lisbeth Salander and journalist Mikael Blomkvist find themselves caught in a web of spies, cybercriminals and corrupt government officials.
What's left behind the scenes
- Before Claire Foy was cast as Lisbeth Salander, negotiations were held with Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson. The same actresses were also in negotiations before filming the previous film. In addition, Sony Pictures Entertainment considered offering the role of Lisbeth to Felicity Jones and Alicia Vikander.
- Stieg Larsson (1954-2004) planned to write 10 books about Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist, and his notes are kept by his civil partner and public figure Eva Gabrielsson, with whom Larsson lived from 1974 until his death. Their marriage was never officially registered, so Larsson's father and brother own the rights to his literary legacy. The Larssons and Gabrielsson were never able to reach an agreement regarding future books, and the Larsson family hired another writer. This film is based on the novel of the same name – the fourth book in the series and the first not written by the late Stieg Larsson.
- Director Federico Álvarez wanted to shoot stunts “live,” meaning without computer graphics. In the car and snow stunt, for example, a car was used with a driver sitting on the roof, while an actor pretending to drive sat behind the wheel.

- The film takes place in Stockholm, and Claire Foy speaks with a Swedish accent, which she developed with the help of the same specialist who helped her with the accent in the series “The Crown” (2016).

- Stieg Larsson (1954-2004) planned to write 10 books about Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist; his notes are kept by his common-law wife and public figure Eva Gabrielsson, with whom Larsson lived from 1974 until his death. Their marriage was not officially registered, so the rights to his literary estate are held by Larsson's father and brother. The Larssons and Gabrielsson never reached a common ground regarding future books, and the Larsson family hired another writer. This film is an adaptation of the eponymous book—the fourth book in the series and the first not authored by the late Stieg Larsson.
