The Girl in the Spider's Web trailer introduces Claire Foy's Lisbeth Salander

A new trailer The Girl in the Spider's Web has arrived, which introduces The Crown's Claire Foy as Stockholm's own avenging angel, the hacker vigilante who stalks the pages of Stieg Larsson's beloved book series.

The film, helmed by Don't Breathe's Fede Alvarez, acts as a direct follow-up to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, though without the involvement of Rooney Mara or Daniel Craig; however, it actually adapts the fourth book in the Millennium series - written by David Lagercrantz, following Larsson's death in 2004.

Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight has penned the screenplay, previously telling Collider: "With The Girl in the Spider’s Web, the girl [Lisbeth Salander] is really the central character. She’s the whole thing. It’s not really [Mikael] Blomkvist."

The film also stars Lakeith Stanfield, Sylvia Hoeks, Stephen Merchant, Claes Bang, Christopher Convery, Synnøve Macody Lund, and Vicky Krieps.

The Girl in the Spider's Web hits UK cinemas 9 November.
