Cara Delevingne wants to play a superhero.
The 21-year-old model has turned her hand to acting with a role in Sky Arts TV drama 'Timeless' and is hoping the part will allow her to pursue a Hollywood film career.
The face of Burberry says she is drawn to "strong" female characters and wants to portray an empowering heroine on screen.
She said: "Today I think there is a lot to be said for women parts, there's a lot more stronger female parts that cam be played, a lot more writing can be done of strong women.
"So maybe a strong female superhero, or just a female that is strong, who hasn't been broken down, or have someone die, or be raped or go through all of that to become strong. To be able to see that would be incredible."
Delevingne is grateful to her high-profile modelling career for making her a household name, but claims acting has always been her first love.
According to the Metro newspaper, she said: "Without [modelling] I wouldn't be here now but its not my love, acting is my love. Acting is something I've always wanted to do since I was four years old. The first time I went on stage, I just wanted to be an entertainer, a performer."
The star is no stranger to criticism and people pigeonholing her as a one-trick pony, but it makes her all the more determined to prove them wrong.
Delevingne added: "People do that and I'm totally fine with that because I am totally ready to prove I'm more than that."

Emma Stone suffered a "lot of bruising" while filming 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2'.
The 25-year-old actress plays Peter Parker's love interest Gwen Stacy in the superhero adventure and admits the safety equipment she had to wear in order to fly caused painful bruising.
Stone looked to actress Cathy Rigby for inspiration for the scenes after her powerful theatrical performance in Peter Pan won her a Tony Award.
Asked about who she channelled for the role, she told 'LIVE with Kelly and Michael' show hosts: "I always wanted to be Cathy Rigby in Peter pan so it felt a little bit like that.
"There's a lot of harnesses. [Stunt double] Jen Caputo would come into my trailer and just gear me up and it would have to be tighter than you can possibly imagine already. Then, they hoist you and there's a lot of bruising. But it's good bruising because you're like Cathy Rigby."
Stone enjoyed filming behind the backdrop of iconic landmarks in New York City and was surprised by the crowds of people who gathered to watch.
She said: "It was pretty cool. It's a pretty busy place and you're shooting in all these location that people know like Union Square or Chinatown, you know, there's a lot of people behind the barricade."

Emma Stone is inspired by Andrew Garfield.
The 25-year-old actress, who has been dating her 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' co-star since 2011, insists their chemistry on set has inspired her as an actress.
She told the New York Daily News newspaper: "It's one of the things you kind of dream of as an actor. To find chemistry or a repartee with another actor like that. It makes it feel like you're always being challenged, and you're bobbing and weaving.
"Andrew without a doubt inspires that in me in the biggest way."
Garfield - who plays Peter Parker (Spider-Man) in the Mark Webb-directed film franchise - agreed with Stone, who plays his love interest Gwen Stacy, and appeared to praise her as a "great artist".
He said: "The greatest artists, you can't really quantify what they do.
"You just have to show up, pay attention to each other and see where the scene goes. That's incredibly exciting, because the scene can go anywhere."
'The Amazing Spider-Man' co-producer Avi Arad claims they worked so well together that they often improvised.
He explained: "There's a scene in the movie where he's in costume as Spider-Man and she calls him 'Peter,' and kind of puts her hand to her mouth to catch herself [for blurting out his secret identity]. It's not in the script, but it worked."

'Mean Girls' has helped to launch the "biggest women in comedy", says Neil Flynn.
The 53-year-old actor starred in 2004's comedy opposite Linsday Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried and Tina Fey and insists the film helped these stars kick-start their successful careers.
Talking to website Digital Spy, he said: "I think 'Mean Girls' was a kind of significant movie.
"It was a very successful comedy and it was also before 'Bridesmaids' and it really launched some of today's biggest women in comedy.
"It was the beginning of Tina's rise to global domination. I think that movie is a touchstone for a lot of people. In the same way 'Animal House' was for my generation really."
A decade after the release of the original which received sparkling reviews and became a box office success, grossing $129,042,871 worldwide, he insists he didn't realise what a "big deal" it would be.
Flynn added: "I didn't necessarily think it would be a big deal but I knew that it would be funny because Tina wrote it."

Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne are "stupid people" on a "dumb mission" in 'Bad Neighbours'.
The 23-year-old comedian and his 'Bad Neighbours' co-star play a young couple with a newborn baby whose home lives are turned upside down when when a college fraternity moves into the house next door.
The pair try to get revenge on the students for their blazing house parties which keep them up all night and the film's producer Evan Goldberg insists Rogen's character is different from the parts he usually plays.
He told the Hollywood Reporter: "Normally in Seth's movies, he's combative. In this, though, Rose Byrne and him are a team. They are both stupid people in a dumb mission that they shouldn't be doing."
Goldberg's co-producer James Weaver agrees that the 'Superbad' actor takes on a more mature role while 'That Awkward Moment' star Zac Efron is the childish one.
He said: "[Rogen] is an adult in the movie, which people are talking about. Zac is the kid, and Seth is doing adult things."
Rogen - who is married to actress Lauren Miller - admits that he had difficulties looking after his screen baby as he's not good with children.
He explained: "Babies are not fans of me either, and we made sure they were fine by me before we casted. These babies were good, but most I'm not cool with."
