"I believe in doing everything they'll allow me to do," McCarthy says with a laugh at the New York City premiere of her new film Spy.
Mashable caught up with the comedy star to chat with her about the film, where she plays a CIA agent named Susan Cooper who gets roped into an international adventure. The film also stars Jude Law, Rose Byrne and Jason Statham, and is directed by Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, The Heat).
On the red carpet, McCarthy chatted about Feig's secret skills, the upcoming Ghostbusters remake and why Hollywood films need more women.
