This article is about the upcoming American film. For the original Swedish film, see The Girl Who Played with Fire (2009 film). For the novel, see The Girl Who Played with Fire (novel).

The Girl Who Played with Fire was the American film adaptation of the book of the same name. It was being directed by David Fincher, however it was never made due to repeated changes in the script in Fincher's attempt to stay true to the book. It was scheduled to be filmed in 2012, but it never was, instead, Sony cancelled the project altogether and made an adaptation of David Lagercrantz's The Girl in the Spider's Web, the first book of Lagercrantz's continuation of the series. It was starred by Claire Foy and Sverrir Gudnason as Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist respectively and directed by Fede Álvarez. It was received poorly by critics since not only was Foy's performance of Salander underwhelming, especially compared to Rooney Mara's, but it was also barely true to Lagercrantz's book, and not nearly as intense and heart-wrenching as Fincher's movie.
