VIDEO: Jessica Chastain in New THE 355 'Packing the Punches' Featurette

Watch the stars of Universal Pictures' The 355, including producer and star Jessica Chastain and Diane Kruger, discuss the film's ruthless hand-to-hand combat scenes. The filmmaking and stunt teams designed unique fighting styles for each of the film's lead characters, played by Chastain, Kruger, Penélope Cruz, Bingbing Fan and Lupita Nyong'o.

The 355 is directed by Simon Kinberg and also stars Édgar Ramirez and Sebastian Stan. The 355 arrives in theaters January 7.

A dream team of formidable female stars come together in a hard-driving original approach to the globe-trotting espionage genre in The 355.

When a top-secret weapon falls into mercenary hands, WILD card CIA agent Mason "Mace" Brown (Oscar®-nominated actress Jessica Chastain) will need to join forces with rival badass German agent Marie (Diane Kruger, In the Fade), former MI6 ally and cutting-edge computer specialist Khadijah (Oscar® winner Lupita Nyong'o), and skilled Colombian psychologist Graciela (Oscar® winner Penélope Cruz) on a lethal, breakneck mission to retrieve it, while also staying one-step ahead of a mysterious woman, Lin Mi Sheng (Bingbing Fan, X-Men: Days of Future Past), who is tracking their every move.

As the action rockets around the globe from the cafes of Paris to the markets of Morocco to the wealth and glamour of Shanghai, the quartet of women will forge a tenuous loyalty that could protect the world-or get them killed.

The film also stars Édgar Ramirez (The Girl on the Train) and Sebastian Stan (Avengers: Endgame).

The 355 is directed by genre-defying filmmaker Simon Kinberg (writer-director-producer of Dark Phoenix, producer of Deadpool and The Martian and writer-producer of the X-Men films), from a script by Theresa Rebeck (NBC's Smash, Trouble) and Kinberg, and is produced by Chastain and Kelly Carmichael for Chastain's Freckle Films and by Kinberg for his Genre Films. The film is executive produced by Richard Hewitt (Bohemian Rhapsody).
