Strong, who has signed up to play Sir Guy of Gisbourne in the production, revealed the casting news at the London Film Critics' Circle Awards.
"I think Cate Blanchett is set to take the Maid Marian part," he told The Telegraph. "She is a wonderful actress and it would make it a much classier film if she was in it."
Sienna Miller, who was originally going to play Marian, quit the heavily-delayed project earlier this year amid rumours that she fell out with Russell Crowe, who is playing both Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Nottingham is scheduled to begin shooting in March.
