Ditching Snow White, The Huntsman is quickly gathering its key cast members, and has just added another name to the list of stars appearing in the fantasy follow-on; none other than Jessica Chastain.
Recently seen in A Most Violent Year, it’s not clear who Chasten will play in the Snow White And The Huntsman prequel; which will tell the tale of how Chris Hemsworth’s huntsman first met the evil queen Ravenna (Charlize Theron), and recently added Emily Blunt (Edge of Tomorrow/Live Die Repeat) to the castlist.
Cedric Nicolas-Trojan (Snow White vfx supervisor, and the man pegged to direct the upcoming Highlander remake) is set to direct from a script written by Frank Darabont (who dropped out as director, and left the production, due to creative differences), ahead of release date of April 22nd 2016 in both the US and UK.
