Zoe Saldana

Zoe Saldana thinks that working with an all male cast is sexy.

And that is exactly what she has done in her new movie The Losers as she teams up with Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Chris Evans and Idris Elba.

Speaking to The Independent the actress said:  "I love working with boys, and I probably do that more than most actresses. I got to do it on Star Trek, Pirates of the Caribbean and now The Losers.

"It just makes me feel sexy, I guess. And these kinds of films - sci-fi and action - with all male crews are just the kind of films I want to make.

"I love girls, don't get me wrong. But, as a woman, to get to play rough characters gives me a lot of freedom and versatility."

Directed by Sylvain White, The Losers follows members of an elite U.S. Special Forces unit sent into the Bolivian jungle on a search and destroy mission.

The team find themselves the target of a lethal betrayal instigated from inside by a powerful enemy known only as Max.

Presumed dead, the group makes plans to even the score when they're joined by the mysterious Aisha, a beautiful operative with her own agenda.

Working together, they must remain deep undercover while tracking the heavily-guarded Max, a ruthless man bent on embroiling the world in a new high-tech global war.

But while Saldana enjoys all the action work she admits that there are some drawbacks to being the only woman on the cast list.

"I almost feel like you have twice as much work to do because you don't want to be singled out.

"You're already the only girl, so if you're the one who says, 'I can't do this', it's going to be like, 'She's wimping out because she's a girl', so I toughed it out. I wanted to impress the guys."

The Losers is released 28th May.
