A scene from Sucker Punch 2011
Q

What are your thoughts on how Zack Synder writes women?

Cornish

I think Zack himself is very much in touch with his femininity as much as he is his masculinity. He’s very sensitive and caring.

Malone

Also, the script speaks for itself. If I’d read the script and felt that if he didn’t know what he was talking about, I don’t think any of us would be here. He’s exploring so many different levels of female archetypes and allowing them to break and bend and expose themselves with amazing different forms of strength and insecurity, and allowing these women to really be fully-fleshed characters. I was thinking that they could really be men or women. IN an action movie, we’re so used to seeing these men, but literally we could almost be sexless were it not for the specificity of the world that we’re in.
