Universal have seemingly clarified their plans for the upcoming sequel to , with reporting that the studio will focus on the character of the Huntsman second time out.
The studio had always considered focusing on Snow White in the first movie and the Huntsman in the second movie, and have decided to move ahead with that plan.
Screenwriter David Koepp will not be retained for the sequel, while the suggestion is that Kristen Stewart will also be departing. She may still appear in a cameo capacity, but she will not be the lead.
Focusing in on one character might help streamline the narrative somewhat. One of the main gripes with the first film was that the plot tried to crowbar too many characters into too slight a storyline.
On top of that, there's the obvious point that Chris Hemsworth's star is very much in the ascendancy, and his Huntsman character has plenty🧸 of potential🦂 to carry a solo film.
