The Australian actress, 47, looked incredible in a black shirt which featured a button-up design along one shoulder and opened to reveal just the right amount of skin.

When asked by the comedian if she would be joining the star studded line-up - which included the likes of Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgard, Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins - she joked: 'Yes. Chris Hemsworth is busy and so I've been working out.'

'She's just one of the best and to have her play a baddie is going to be really exciting,' he added.
