The latest The Huntsman: Winter’s War trailer has arrived and it certainly fills in some of the blanks left by the previous teaser. We know more of the story, but yet not too much — which is great, as it is a pet peeve of The Movie Mensch’s!
It appears that Emily Blunt is the older sister of Charlize Theron’s wicked witch from Snow White and The Huntsman. This is a prequel and we learn that Blunt has been training Chris Hemsworth’s Huntsman for years for this very moment. When Theron’s witch decides to do something about that mirror that keeps telling Blunt she’s the fairest of the land, it sets off a chain of events that has the Huntsman and his team (including Jessica Chastain kicking ass!) swinging into battle to save the kingdom from all that is evil.
Theron is back as Evil Queen Ravenna, Hemsworth returns as The Huntsman Eric, and Chastain joins the film series as Warrior Sara with Blunt as Ice Queen Freya (who appears to give Frozen’s Elsa a run for her money in this epic!).
The Huntsman: Winter’s War is directed by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan and lands in theaters April 22.
