Watch: Priyanka Chopra on Playing the Villain in "Baywatch"

Priyanka Chopra fully embraced her inner bad girl for the upcoming Baywatch reboot.

While chatting with E! News during Tuesday's Time 100 Gala, where she was being honored as one of the past year's most influential people, the Quantico star revealed just how she feels about her shot at playing the villain for a change.

"How many people take on 'The Rock?'" Chopra said of her co-star Dwayne Johnson. "See, that'll be a notch on my list."

Turns out the brunette bombshell has had this challenge on her bucket list for quite a while, and come May 2017 when Baywatch hits theaters, she'll officially be able to cross it off.

But as for that signature red swimsuit made famous by Pamela Anderson in the original television series? Priyanka says she won't be sporting it.

"Not the red one because I'm the villain, but I might be in a swimsuit. Watch out for that!" she teased. Additionally, Chopra offered some insight as to what we can expect from her character.

"I think Baywatch will be a summer blockbuster and I'm not just saying it because I'm in it," she said. "I saw a bunch of scenes right now and it's the funniest movie ever. Dwayne and Zac [Efron] have the best chemistry, and I come and interrupt their chemistry." (Oh, is that why this happened...?)

As if we didn't need another reason to see all those lifeguards strutting their stuff on the beach!
