G.I. Joe 2's Adrianne Palicki on Playing Lady Jaye

Adrianna Palicki will soon burst onto the silver screen as Lady Jaye in the upcoming G.I. Joe: Retaliation, teaming alongside Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis in the film.

In a recent interview with EW, Palicki explained her physical preparation for the role, which included a SEAL-approved workout regimen. "Harry Humphries is a retired SEAL, so... he brought his whole SEAL team to train us, and they're actually in the movie with us, guiding us, which was the most nerve-racking part because if you mess up, you know they're going to be pulling you aside and scaring you.

"Thankfully I love the character and she's very well-written," Palicki continued. "She's a tough girl. She's got a little bit of a chip on her shoulder. She's like the only chick around all these guys so she kind of has to hold her own. She's the intelligence in the group; she's the weapon specialist. So there's a lot to carry with that."

On starring alongside her fellow Joes, the actress said, "They're both so different. You have Dwayne who's like an action figure and then you have Bruce, who's John McClane. They're both so different -- and they're both so funny in different ways. Neither one, oddly, [was] intimidating."

And as for those pesky reshoots everyone's been on about? "A lot of that was false: We did like two days of reshoots. They added one scene. It wasn't really a big deal -- it was like the normal reshooting situation. Actually we lucked out because it was only two days. But I think it adds to the film completely."

G.I. Joe: Retaliation opens March 29.
