Jessica Biel has brought The A-Team into the 21st century by bringing girl power to the gang.

The star, who is dating singer and actor Justin Timberlake, plays soldier Charisa Sosa in the film, who is part of the team, and revealed she thought it was "very important" for a woman to be a member.

She said: "The world is different now. Women can do anything and be anything and are as smart as anybody else.

"So I think if you're going to do something different and make this a contemporary story that is just necessary."

She added that the movie would appeal to both sexes.

Biel said: "Girls like seeing stuff getting blown up too, I know I do.

"There's a female element that will draw in the women as well. I hope I created a female character other women can be proud of."

Director Carnahan said: "Of course the modern A-Team needs a woman.
"It needs a very beautiful woman like Jessica Biel, who unfortunately I'm sure for most guys I didn't put in a bikini. But I think Jessie's such a good, sweet, funny, deeply talented actress, I thought we needed that feminine touch."

Neeson agreed: "All movies need it."
