LOS ANGELES — Rebel Wilson: action star?

The actress, typically recognized for her comedic talent, showcases a different facet in her new movie “Bride Hard.” Wilson takes on the role of Sam, an undercover agent, whose best friend Betsy, portrayed by her real-life friend Anna Camp, is set to wed. The ceremony is suddenly disrupted by a band of mercenaries, led by Stephen Dorff, and it’s up to Sam to save the situation.

“Would you naturally look at me and think action hero? No, I doubt anyone would. But apparently, the director likened me to a Tasmanian Devil,” Wilson shared with On The Red Carpet.

She summoned that ‘Tasmanian Devil’ energy through all her action sequences, until a gun accidentally hit her in the face!

“I was fully immersed in the role right up until the final night, when a bizarre accident left my nose slashed open. That part was not enjoyable, and I now grasp why Daniel Craig decided to step away from being James Bond.”

A plastic surgeon stitched her up and she’s healed well, thankfully. And while the search is still on for a new James Bond, Wilson said she won’t be throwing her name into the ring. But she wouldn’t mind being cast as another character in that universe. “A young Dame Judi Dench or something like that. Yeah, that could be good.”

Speaking of casting, Camp told On The Red Carpet that she jumped at the chance to work alongside her friend once again. The two played Barden Bellas in the “Pitch Perfect” franchise and became fast friends.

“When I read the script, I just thought, oh my God, there’s so much potential here for me and Rebel because we are really good friends,” Camp said. “The relationship on the page was enhanced by our real relationship because we get along off camera as well. It’s just so much fun and she’s so funny and so talented.”

Wilson sang the praises of Camp and the rest of the cast, Anna Chlumsky, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Gigi Zumbado, Sherry Cola and Justin Hartley.

“I know Justin Hartley is such a heartthrob. But he’s so funny! God, he makes me laugh so much and he’s so game doing any kind of jokes,” Wilson said. “I mean, all of our squad is funny, though. We have to play the different character types, but we’re, like, you know, we’re real funny. I mean I’m sure there’s probably two hours of outtake improvs.”

“I would love to see that,” Camp added.

For now, though, this duo wants fans to go see the movie, which is in theaters June 20.

“We hope everyone loves ‘Bride Hard,'” Wilson said.

“Go to the theater, it really is fun,” added Camp.
