Claire Foy’s sister called her last week, none too pleased that her sibling hadn’t told her that she’d be playing Lisbeth Salander in “The Girl in the Spider’s Web,” the long-delayed follow-up to the 2011 David Fincher film, “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.”

“My sister’s like, ‘Oh, what are you doing?’ and I was like, ‘I’m not doing anything! I don’t t know about any of this!’” Foy told The Times Wednesday.

“It’s really weird,” Foy added. “I’ve never experienced that before where there’s a rumor about a possible job like this. It’s very surreal.”

News broke last week that Foy was either “in talks,” “eyeing” or had been all but cast to play Lisbeth in the reboot of the Stieg Larsson book series.

So is Foy, 33, star of “The Crown” on Netflix, even in the running?

“No. I’m not even in the same arena,” the British actress said. “I can’t even contemplate doing anything at all, to be honest, at this present time.”
