It is understandable that an actress cannot say no to an iconic role like Lisbeth Salander, even if she has to face being compared to previous actresses who have played the character.

Both Noomi Rapace and Rooney Mara were brilliant when they took on the role respectively in the films based on the acclaimed Millennium book series created by Stieg Larsson. But Claire Foy (of The Crown) – the latest actress to portray the girl with the dragon tattoo – does cut a striking figure in the film’s trailer as the outcast vigilante, with that short punk hair, black outfit and tough attitude.
