Is everybody from Snow White and the Huntsman returning for prequel The Huntsman except for Kristen Stewart? It's beginning to look that way as Sam Claflin is set to return alongside Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth.
Claflin will reprise his role as William, who was Snow White's childhood friend and love interest in the film, which makes his return somewhat surprising. What purpose could his character have without her around? The story will focus on the early encounters between the Huntsman and the evil witch, Ravenna. Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain have roles that have still not been revealed, while Nick Frost, Alexandra Roach, Rob Brydon, and Sheridan Smith are dwarves.
Claflin recently agreed to star as footballer Robin Friday in a new biopic, and has been rumored for a role in Star Wars: Rogue One.
Directed by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan from Frank Darabont's screenplay, The Huntsman opens April 22nd 2016. [TheWrap]
