Maggie Gyllenhaal Archives

What do Liv Tyler, Gwyneth Paltrow and Maggie Gyllenhaal have in common?

All of these lovely ladies will be starring in superhero flicks coming soon to a theater near you–Incredible Hulk, Iron Man and The Dark Knight, respectively.

Here’s what Liv, Gwyn and Maggie had to say after being asked, “How do you think women have changed in these kind of films over the years?”

Gwyneth: There’s a reason why they’re hiring actresses like us. We’re all women, we’re all mothers, and we all normally do different films. There’s a certain understanding of who we are and what we bring and a certain respect for that.
Maggie: Twenty or 30 years ago, the women in these films were vapid and just appeared for extra silliness.
Liv: In all these films, our characters have real jobs and really fall in love and have real dilemmas. When you look at the history of the comic books, the women also have changed.

Maggie Gyllenhaal and actor husband Peter Sarsgaard attend the 2007 New York Film Critic’s Circle Awards at NYC’s Spotlight on Sunday.

Maggie, 30, was recently asked how she got the Agent Provocateur ad campaign. She told UK’s Metro, “They asked me to do it and I said yes, but somehow I never put that together with the fact I’d have to stand around in my underwear getting my picture taken. The pictures are very tongue-in-cheek and have an irony about them, it’s not the same as doing a Victoria’s Secret ad. I felt like I was playing a character, someone who wasn’t me… I was looking at them with Peter, saying: ‘I don’t think I look like that, that underwear really is good!’ I couldn’t believe how it made me look. The whole thing was a pleasure to do. When they came out, though, I was a bit surprised. Somehow I hadn’t understood that there’d be all these pictures of me out there in my underwear. I did it as an art project.”

And will she be working with younger brother Jake again? “Maybe at some point,” Maggie said. “We don’t have any plans to do anything now.” More Here! »
