In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Fonda, 85, said she tries "not to" think about the forthcoming project, when asked for her opinion on the remake, which she is not involved with.
"I try not to. Because I worry about what it's going to be," the 80 for Brady star told the outlet.
Fonda starred in a 1968 adaptation of the French comic book series from director Roger Vadim, which follows an astronaut "from the 41st century" who must stop an evil scientist named Durand Durand from using a weapon called the Positronic Ray, according to a synopsis on IMDB and Deadline.
"I had an idea of how to do it that [original producer] Dino De Laurentiis, when he was still alive, wouldn't listen to," Fonda explained to the outlet. "But it could have been a truly feminist movie."
Fonda has offered some criticism of her Barbarella movie in the past. At the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, the actress said she "took the easy road for a while" with roles she now considers to be less than flattering.
"I would say that ended with Barbarella," she said at the time, according to HuffPost. "I liked doing something that caused a certain generation of men to have their first erections. But then I became an activist."
