Abbie Cornish wants more action roles for women.

The actress teams up with Jena Malone, Jamie Chung, Vanessa Hudgens and Emily Browning for Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch - which sees Cornish take on her first action role.

Women can be just as strong and interesting in these roles as males.

And having got a taste for this genre of film the actress now wants to see more women in these roles.

Speaking to The Press Association the actress said: "There hasn't been a film like this. Hopefully in the future, it'll be normal for females to do an action film.

"Women can be just as strong and interesting in these roles as males."

She may have enjoyed taking on the role of Sweet Pea in the movie but Cornish admits that it was hard work.

"That character was an experience for me. Playing someone that tough was hard work," she said.

"There were times when I got home on a Friday night and I'd feel hyper sensitive. I'd be really drained - all I wanted to do was get into my PJs and snuggle up."

It's been a busy few weeks for the actress has she has also enjoyed box office succecss with Limitless, which saw her team up with Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro.

Sucker Punch is out now.
