Fede Alvarez has revealed there was "a lot of debate" when he asked to cast Claire Foy as his leading lady in the forthcoming movie 'Girl in the Spider's Web'.<br /><br /><br /><br />The 34-year-old actress will play the role of Lisbeth Salander in the 2018 flick but the director has admitted there was a lot of arguments at first because producers were thinking about bringing back Rooney Mara until he demanded that he have a complete new cast. <br /><br /><br /><br />Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the 40-year-old director said: "There was a lot of debate -- but not with me -- mostly debate among the studio, if they [were] taking that route or not. Eventually, I think it was me coming in, saying, I preferred to have my own cast.”<br /><br /><br /><br />However, Alvarez didn't just settle with 'The Crown' star as other big names - including Scarlett Johansson - were thrown about until he made up his mind. <br /><br />
