Will Emily Blunt Join The Huntsman ?

There’s a round of good news/bad news set to hit Snow White And The Huntsman sequel The Huntsman. The good news first, then: Emily Blunt is in negotiations to play the antagonist to Chris Hemsworth’s hero in the new adventure.

Hemsworth will be back as Eric, the heroic sort who aided Kristen Stewart in her battle against the evil Ravenna (Charlize Theron). For the follow-up, he’ll be off on a quest to retrieve the stolen magic mirror, which will bring him up against both Theron’s character and her snow queen sister (Blunt, assuming she signs), who are eager for revenge.

And now for the bad news: Frank Darabont, who had signed on to direct and wrote a draft of the script, has left the project, citing those reliable old standbys, creative differences. So the search is on for producer Joe Roth and Universal to find a director to bring this one to life, particularly with an April 22, 2016 release date creeping ever closer.
