Katie Holmes had to learn how to shoot a gun for ‘Miss Meadows’.
The 35-year-old actress really enjoyed playing the titular character in her latest movie – which tells the story of a teacher who moonlights as a vigilante – partly because she got to handle a powerful weapon.
She said: "Miss Meadows is a new character for me because she’s kind of funny – a substitute teacher who turns into a vigilante when she sees a child being harmed.
"She was fun to play – plus, I learned how to shoot a gun."
Katie – who has eight-year-old daughter Suri Cruise with ex-husband Tom Cruise – admits she is pleased to be back on the big screen after a few years off, and is "excited" about what other acting roles she might be offered in the future.
She added to HELLO! magazine: "Work ebbs and flows but I have been fortunate recently to have more projects come my way.
"And because my child is growing up, I have a bit more time to focus on my work – and I’m excited about it."
