Sylvia Hoeks, From "Blade Runner 2049" to "The Girl in the Spider's Web"

Tattooed cyber-mercenary Lisbeth Salander’s sister, Camilla, has been referenced in Stieg Larsson’s original Millennium novels, but the character has never been included in the film adaptations.

In The Girl in the Spider’s Web, however, Camilla plays a significant role in Lisbeth’s journey. And to play this haunting figure from the film’s protagonist’s traumatic background, director Fede Alvarez (Don’t Breathe) cast Dutch actress and Blade Runner 2049 breakout star Sylvia Hoeks. “I saw her in Blade Runner [2049] and it really blew my mind,” says Alvarez of Hoeks. “She’s so good and so intense and so different, and very unpredictable as an actress. I’m always going for what you don’t expect, and it was a pleasure to work with her.”
