In 2011, veteran director David Fincher adapted the Nordic book The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo for the big screens. The Se7en director talked about the audition process that went underway to find the lead actress and ended up selecting Rooney Mara. According to Fincher however, MCU star Scarlett Johansson had perfectly nailed the role but there was just one problem.

As per the words of the acclaimed director, David Fincher stated that the problem with Johansson was that people can’t wait for her to take off her clothes.
“We flew in people from New Zealand and Swaziland and all over the place. Look, we saw some amazing people. Scarlett Johansson was great. It was a great audition, I’m telling you. But the thing with Scarlett is, you can’t wait for her to take her clothes off.”
