The High School Musical actress has been cast opposite Emily Browning and Jena Malone in the movie, which sees a group of institutionalised girls retreating into a fantasy world in order to escape.
Speaking to MTV News, he said: "You’re going to see her shooting machine guns, fighting, beating the s**t out of people.
"It’ll allow her to stretch herself and do whatever she wants, and not be too exposed by the movie - but also, on the other hand, do things that people have never seen her do... She has a big part, but she’s not the centre of the movie."
Snyder added that his decision to cast Hudgens had made him very popular with his young family, joking: "They try and be cool about [their dad hanging out with Vanessa], they try and be like, 'Yeah, whatever'. But the truth is, they’re really into it."
Sucker Punch is scheduled for release in 2011.
