Kristen Stewart has revealed that she was looking for a movie that would really challenge her physically as an actress and that was one of the most attractive aspects of Snow White and the Huntsman.
The actress is back on the big screen this summer to take on the role of the iconic character as director Rupert Sanders puts his spin on this well known tale.
But this is Snow White like you have never seen her before and the action aspect of this character was a real draw for Stewart.
Speaking at the UL press conference for the movie the actress said: "I have always wanted to find something where I could really challenge myself physically and I really liked that, as Charlize has said before we really will hurt yourself for the job.
"You have got someone who has the gusto and as an audience member you can take a lot of satisfaction from watching her kick ass but she is not a dude she remains so steady.
"We are not built to be physically strong you have to outsmart someone; you have to be quicker and have a stronger heart.
"I hate girl power movies where the people you are rooting for are not girls and that is what I was mostly attracted too."
The movie sees Stewart team up with Oscar winner Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth, who is the busiest actor around at the moment.
Snow White and the Huntsman is released 30th May
