The mom of six is ready to go back to work -- and she's taking up the gun again for a role that was originally intended for Tom Cruise in the new film, Edwin A. Salt.

She'll be playing the role of a CIA officer accused of being a Russian spy, who must dodge her fellow agents until she can prove her innocence.

Angelina confirmed the role during an interview with BBC Radio's Simon Mayo today, telling him for her next project, she'll be "working on a film called 'Salt'. And it's with Phillip Noyce."

We can't wait to see Angie return to some ass-kicking on the big screen!
