TRAILER: ‘The Huntsman: Winter’s War’ Showcases A Badass Cast of Ladies

Nov 18, 2015

Long before the evil Queen Ravenna (Theron) was thought vanquished by Snow White’s blade, she watched silently as her sister, Freya (Blunt), suffered a heartbreaking betrayal and fled their kingdom. With Freya’s ability to freeze any enemy, the young ice queen has spent decades in a remote wintry palace raising a legion of deadly huntsmen — including Eric (Hemsworth) and warrior Sara (Chastain) — only to find that her prized two defied her one demand: Forever harden your hearts to love.
 

When Freya learns of her sister’s demise, she summons her remaining soldiers to bring the Magic Mirror home to the only sorceress left who can harness its power. But once she discovers Ravenna can be resurrected from its golden depths, the wicked sisters threaten this enchanted land with twice the darkest force it’s ever seen.  Now, their amassing army shall prove undefeatable…unless the banished huntsmen who broke their queen’s cardinal rule can fight their way back to one another.

It’s easy to think this might end-up as disappointing as the first installment, but the additions of Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain has given us a bit more hope. Even more so without Kristen Stewart’s robotic Snow White out of the mix. The trailer is well cut, and it’ll be interesting to see if any of these ladies end-up joining the cast of Thor: Ragnarok in the two major female roles yet to be cast.

The Kristen Stewart-less sequel to Snow White and The Huntsman will be in theatres on April 22nd, 2016.
