Gemma Arterton has described the character of Gretel as 'violent' and 'wild'.
The actress has teamed up with Jeremy Renner for a new take on the Hansel and Gretel story - which is set year after the original tale.
The pair are now grown up and are witch hunters. But Arterton admits that she wouldn't mess with Gretel.
Speaking to the Daily Mail the actress said: "It's about these damaged kids really, and now we're all grown up.
"Gretel's quite wild. She's super cool, and violent.
"She has a crossbow, she headbutts people, folk get decapitated, noses get bitten off. It's so ridiculous that it's funny, but I wouldn't mess with her."
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is directed by Tommy Wirkola and also stars Famke Janssen and Peter Stormare.
However the release of the movie has been delayed and we won't be seeing it until next year.
