Get ready High School Musical fans, Vanessa Hudgens hopes to surprise you with her badass turn in the stylized action flick Sucker Punch.

The actress talked to E!'s Ben Lyons at Comic-Con last weekend while promoting the upcoming Zack Snyder film, and when asked how HSM fans would react to her hard-core, gun-toting character, Hudgens said, "They're gonna be like, 'That's Vanessa?!' Hopefully. That's what I'm striving for."

Complete persona shifts aside, Hudgens also talked about the insane training regimen she and costars Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone and Emily Browning endured to get in shape for the film—"The first day I was dead lifting 135!"—her love for Halo and why she loves Comic-Con.
