The Huntsman is the sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman and Chastain is one of the new faces on the cast list as she takes on the role of warrior Sara.
The movie will see Chris Hemsworth return to the title role, while Charlize Theron is also back as villain Ravenna. Emily Blunt is the other big new addition to the cast list.
And while Chastain is no stranger to the big screen, she reveals that The Huntsman is unlike any role or film that she has tackled before.
Speaking to Screen Rant, the Oscar nominated actress said: "Yeah, I play Sara, I'm a warrior. A Scottish warrior. And I kick a lot of butt in this movie. [Pause]
"I can't really tell you much about it, but... it's unlike anything I've ever done, I got to work a lot with Chris Hemsworth and Nick Frost and Rob Brydon and Sheridan Smith and Alexis Broach [and] Emily [Blunt] and I got to work a little bit with Charlize, which - that was fantastic. Because I love her Ravenna."
The Huntsman filmed in the UK earlier this year and is now in post-production. The film sees Cedric Nicolas-Troyan in the director's chair, as he makes his feature film directorial debut.
A terrific cast has been assembled for the film, as Sam Claflin, Nick Frost, Colin Morgan, Sheridan Smith, and Rob Brydon will star alongside Hemsworth, Theron, Chastain, and Blunt.
2015 has already been a busy year for the actress as she is enjoying success with The Martian and is back on the big screen with new gothic horror Crimson Peak.
She is currently filming The Zookeeper's Wife alongside Daniel Bruhl and director Niki Caro.
The Huntsman is released 22nd April 2016.
