Rooney Mara Still Wants to Play Lisbeth Salander Again!

Rooney Mara and Cate Blanchett walk the red carpet at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences’ 2015 Governors Awards on Saturday night (November 14) at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Hollywood.

The ladies were there to support their movie Carol. The night before, they attended a SAG-AFTRA Foundation conversation at the Pacific Design Center to promote the film as well.

Rooney was nominated for an Oscar a few years ago for her work as Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and she still wants to play the character again in the planned sequel.

Despite rumors that Alicia Vikander is up for the role, Rooney told E! News that “as far as I know, I’m doing it until someone tells me otherwise.”

FYI: Rooney is wearing an Alexander McQueen jacket and dress. Cate is wearing Armani Prive with Casadei shoes and Neil Lane jewelry.
