Who's a bigger badass: Tris Prior or Katniss Everdeen? We couldn't help ourselves from asking Shailene Woodley this question last week at the junket for her highly-anticipated film Insurgent. We won't give away her answer (you'll have to push play above for that) but let's just say Woodley's giving Jennifer Lawrence a run for her money in the new film.

00:07To put it mildly, you're like a total badass.
00:10What's the best thing about looking back and seeing how you played such a strong female character?
00:15It's exciting. You know, Tris is strong because she forces herself to be. She's not strong by nature.
00:21There are both really intense emotional scenes and physical scenes. Which is harder for you?
00:26Emotional scenes are definitely, not harder, but more demanding.
00:30I'm not worth it. No, you are worth it. You are worth it to me.
00:37You have to promise me that you're not going to leave.
00:40Why do you think that so many female-led films are films like this, so like science fiction type things?
00:46There's science sci-fi films, there's dramatic roles, there's a lot of two-handers between males and females.
00:55But if we're just focusing on this particular demographic, I think that it's really interesting and it's really fascinating for
01:01all of us.
01:01Not just women, but for men as well, to see a woman in her power and own her power and
01:05own her strength.
01:06And exist in a world where she is able to physically show off her skills as well.
01:13And then last question, who is a bigger badass, Tris or Katniss Everdeen?
01:18I think they're both amazing in their own rights. I think that they should join forces.
01:22I think you should spearhead that.
01:24Yeah.
01:24Mmm.
