She enjoyed a big break recently as Luv in Blade Runner 2049 and now Sylvia Hoeks is scoring more roles. She's just joined the cast of The Girl In The Spider's Web.
Fede Alvarez is directing the film, which adapts the latest Lisbeth Salander novel, albeit not one written by original author Stieg Larsson. Penned instead by David Lagercrantz with continuity to both Larsson's writing style and his characters in mind, The Girl In The Spider’s Web sends The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’s odd-couple pairing of hacker Salander and seasoned journo Mikael Blomkvist on new misadventures. This time they’re faced with a ruthless web of espionage, cybercriminals and high-level villainy, plus the usual serious threats. Alvarez has worked on the latest draft with Jay Basu, itself based on contributions from Steve Knight.
Claire Foy is playing Salander, but Hoeks is still in talks and there are no details on which character she might be taking on. Alvarez is scheduled to start shooting in Berlin and Stockholm this coming January.
