It's all-change over at Universal's sequel to Snow White And The Huntsman (simply titled The Huntsman), with director Frank Darabont ha🐷ving walked away from the project.
Apparently “creative differences” were behind꧑ the move, with that Darabont “abruptly left the high-priority project” this wಌeek.
While Universal is expected to hire a replacement next week, the studio is apparen💜tly also courting Emily Blunt to play the film's spellbinding villainess.
If she s🅠igns on, Blunt will appear as the Snow Queen, the vengefu𝔉l sister of Queen Ravenna (Charlize Theron).
Theron is also expected to return (despite the events of the first film), with Chris Hemsworth back as the Huntsman, who goes on a quest to find a magic �🅰�mirror, only to encounter the Snow Queen.
The current script for The Huntsman was written by Darabont, but it remains unclear iཧf it will be used by whoever re♔places him in the director's chair.
The Huntsman will open in the UK and US on 22 April 2016.
