Chris Hemsworth’s ‘The Huntsman’ gets new title on first posters

Winter is coming, and not just in Game of Thrones. The snowy season will also be at the center of The Huntsman, the prequel to Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman.

Universal released a group of four posters on Monday, which all showed that the film has a new title - The Huntsman Winter’s War (no colon needed apparently). There is a poster for each of the four main characters.

Chris Hemsworth is back to play The Huntsman and Charlize Theron is playing The Evil Queen again. Jessica Chastain and Emily Blunt joined the cast to play The Warrior and The White Queen, respectively.

Even though Snow White and the Huntsman grossed $396 million worldwide with a $170 million budget, Universal decided to let Kristen Stewart, who played Snow White, go. Director Rupert Sanders was also replaced by visual effects supervisor Cedric Nicolas-Troyan.

With Snow White out of the picture, Winter’s War is expected to be a prequel, although the plot remains unknown. With the posters out and a release date of April 22, 2016, expect to see a trailer soon enough.
