According to ScifiWire, the actress did not initially believe that she had the fortitude to play a "bad-ass sniper chick".
"I never thought about [being an action star]," Braga said. "I think it was a challenge that came up. I'm a small, short girl, not really tall. I never thought about myself running around and punching and shooting.
"In Predators I'm a sniper, and truly my gun was the heaviest gun on set. It's 14 pounds. Everyone is with a knife, with a pistol, and I'm with a rifle, and I'm carrying that all through the film. I'm like, 'Why am I carrying this? Seriously, why am I carrying this?!"
The film centres on a band of humans who find themselves trapped on the Predator homeworld.
The movie stars Topher Grace, Danny Trejo and Laurenence Fishburne. It is produced by Robert Rodriguez.
