For most actresses, being cast as the female lead in a "Bond" film would be the ultimate dream come true. However, "The Martian" star Jessica Chastain is unlike most actresses, since she'd much rather be a Bond villain than its leading lady.

"One of my goals is to play a villain in a Bond film. People ask me if I want to be a Bond girl, and I say, 'No, I want to be the villain.' I'm waiting for that call!" she said during an interview with W Magazine.

Chastain enjoys versatility in her craft, and that is why back in 2011, she starred in seven films all featuring very different characters. Her diverse work really showcased her wide acting range, but on the flip side, audiences found it difficult to know the real her.

"It did confuse people," Chastain said. "I would hear, 'Who is the real Jessica?' a lot. I think of versatility as a good thing, but it does make it difficult for audiences to know you," she said.

"They rarely say that about men," Chastain further mulled. "They never worry about 'knowing' them."

After starring in Ridley Scott's film "The Martian," Chastain would be working on the prequel to "Snow White and the would next be seen as Lady Lucille Sharpe in Guillermo del Toro's gothic romance "Crimson Peak" together with Tom Hiddleston.

After that, she will be working on the prequel to "Snow White and the Huntsman" with Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron in England.

"I look like a Smurf next to Charlize," Chastain laughingly said as she poked fun at her height. "I play a warrior in the film. So different from the women we are about to see. Or is it? They were probably warriors, too."

Her breakout role would probably have to be "The Tree of Life," which she co-starred in with Brad Pitt and Sean Penn. For its premiere, which was held at the Palais du Cinéma theater in Cannes back in 2011, Chastain felt overwhelmed so much so that her co-stars had to hold her up.

"They were!" Chastain said. "I would have fainted without them. When I see a picture from that premiere, I seem happy. But that was, actually, a kind of acting. In my head, I was thinking, I have no idea what I'm doing here, and I don't belong. Cannes was when my career was born. I made it through the fire to the Palais, and it changed my life."
