Jennifer Connelly 'hopes for superhero role'

Jennifer Connelly has reportedly revealed that she would be interested in acting in an action movie.

The 38-year-old, who lends her voice to the new animated film 9, has said that she would consider playing a superhero and would welcome the training to attain a fit body, reports STV.

Connelly said: "I would love to, by the way, because that sounds like so much fun to me. My husband is doing an action film now and he's training and it just looks like so much fun.

"But making 9 was great, too. It was a great, great character but I didn't have to stress out about my moves and whether I could pull it off."

Connelly has also insisted that she would be keen to work on another animated feature as she had a "great time".

She added: "I enjoyed it. I mean, you feel differently about it than a film that you're shooting for so many months.

"I had a great time. I would certainly do it again, but it feels very different than that level of involvement that you have working on a live action film."

Connelly is married to actor Paul Bettany.
