The 37-year-old actor would not reveal any specific details but said that she had a bad encounter in one other movie and both of them might have been related to gender roles. Kate Mara said that the fact of the matter is that her two horrendous experiences with directors were male directors.

Trying to explain her point, she said that there have been times when she didn't get along with a female director but she never felt 'this is happening because I am a woman'. She explained that with male directors, she felt 'it 100 per cent was only happening with me; it was a power dynamic thing'. Kate further added that during both of her bad experiences, the movies were 95 per cent men and she was the only woman in the movie.

Kate Mara said that she doesn't regret doing it at all, but does regret not having stood up for herself.
