Returning to work with Zack Snyder on ‘Sucker Punch’ was an easy decision, says the Smart Sensuality actress Gugino.

“Zack loves women in the best way, and I think his intention from the very start was that he wanted to do a movie where these women are fully empowered,” Gugino said last week during an interview in Los Angeles, Calif. “He also hired the same amazing Navy SEAL trainers that he got for all of the guys on ‘300,’ and [although] my character sort of had different requirements, the girls were up there training for a full three months. There was no way they weren’t going to be empowered by the time they started shooting.”
