In a new interview with Access Hollywood, Mara shot down all rumors that THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE could be made without Craig:

“No, that’s not a possibility. That won’t happen…I don’t know who started that rumor, but that’s not true.”

The statement comes on the heels of news that after SKYFALL became a massive hit, Craig is commanding a paycheck that Sony can’t handle.  Although back in October, the Bond star said that he would love to step back into the shoes of plays journalist Mikael Blomkvist:

“Of course I’ll embrace [the movie], especially if [David] Fincher does it”

So will we be seeing the second entry in Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy anytime soon?  I guess we’ll have to just wait and see what Sony decides…because as of now, it definitely isn’t hanging on the actors.
