Brooklyn Decker has revealed that she liked working with director Peter Berg because he has a habit of making his female characters strong.
Battleship sees the former model team up with the Hancock filmmaker in what is just her second big screen project.
Decker admitted that she had always wanted to work with Berg on a movie project and she enjoyed the way that he worked.
Speaking to FemaleFirst the actress said: “He was incredible, even better than I expected. If you look as his past movies such as Hancock you have Charlize Theron while she is a superhero she plays a really cool character; there is a bit of a dark past, she is really witty and she is this strong and dynamic character.
You look at Jennifer Garner in The Kingdom and he is known for making women stronger and not your typical damsel in distress - while Sam is in distress a lot of the time but he makes this character strong and that was a driving force for me to want to work with him.”
This is the first big budget blockbuster for Decker as she teams up with Taylor Kitsch, Liam Neeson and Rihanna.
And she will be back later this year as she joins the ensemble cast of What To Expect When You’re Expecting.
Battleship is released 11th April
