The actors might be different, but the next movie in the Girl In The... movie series is definitely still a sequel. Directed by Don't Breathe's Fede Alvarez, it acts as a direct follow-up to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, though it actually adapts the fourth book in the Millennium series.

The story follows hacker Lisbeth Salander and journalist Mikael Blomkvist (this time played by Sverrir Gudnason) as they find themselves caught in a web of spies, cyber criminals and corrupt government officials. Sounds about parr for the course.

The big selling point here is the influx of new talents. Gudnason is a good replacement for Daniel Craig, director Fede Alvarez is very talented and The Crown's Claire Foy has the plum role of Salander to cement her rising position. On top of that, it's written by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight and he certainly knows how to spin a good yarn.

Release Date: November 9th
