Sneak Peek: ‘The Huntsman: Winter’s War’

Universal Pictures released a teaser trailer for The Huntsman: Winter’s War, with a full trailer release on Wednesday.

The film is directed by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, and stars Jessica Chastain, Chris Hemsworth, Emily Blunt, Charlize Theron, and Nick Frost.

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.

The Huntsman: Winter’s War is scheduled for release on April 22, 2016.
