In 2011, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo went on to gross over $232 million dollars worldwide at the box office. Sequels had been lined up and planned based off the best selling books. But recent rumors have spread that lead actress Rooney Mara will not return, and rather the franchise will reboot with different actors. Of these reports, Mara said "As far as I know I'm doing it until someone tells me otherwise," - so it looks like those rumors were exactly that - rumors.
