Jessica Chastain says she is not afraid about battling about being typecast.
The actress picked up her second Oscar nomination for her role in Zero Dark Thirty and has become one of the most in demand Hollywood stars in recent years.
But Chastain has no interest in playing the same character again and again and does not want to be typecast.
Speaking to MTV News the actress said: "If someone tries to type me, I’m super stubborn and I will do the opposite.
"Tree of Life’ is one of my favourite things I’ve ever done; that character was probably the greatest gift I’ve ever been given.
"But the second I found out people were typing me, I was like, I’ll show you! I’ll do the exact opposite of a Terrence Malick...I’m going to do a horror film. And I’m going to play the opposite of a good mother."
Chastain has enjoyed box office success with Zero Dark Thirty and Mama already this years - two roles that couldn't be more different.
She will be back on the big screen later this year with The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: His and The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Hers with James McAvoy.
