Following the release of [four new character posters](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/16/charlize-theron-jessica-chastain-huntsman-winters-war-posters "undefined"), the new trailer for _The Huntsman: Winter’s War_ has dropped, teasing what happened before and after Snow White came along. Theron and Chris Hemsworth are both reprising their roles as Queen Ravenna and the huntsman Eric from 2012’s _Snow White and the Huntsman_, but _Winter’s War_ introduces two new major players: Ravenna’s icy sister Freya (Blunt) and Eric’s long-lost love, Sara (Jessica Chastain, who is in full medieval warrior mode as she declares, “I never miss”). Before Ravenna was defeated by Snow White, she stood by as Freya was betrayed and fled into the wilderness, where she built an icy palace and amassed an army of killer huntsmen. Eric and Sara were her two most beloved warriors, until they fell in love and she banished them. Years later, after learning that her sister has been defeated, Freya seeks to reclaim Ravenna’s Magic Mirror, only to find that it can help to resurrect her sister. Together, the pair team up to start a new reign of terror, as only evil queen sisters can. _Shawshank Redemption_ director Frank Darabont was initially attached to direct _The Huntsman_, but he [left the project in January](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/01/17/frank-darabont-no-longer-directing-the-huntsman "undefined"), citing creative differences. Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, who was nominated for a visual effects Oscar for the original _Snow White and the Huntsman_ as a visual effects supervisor, [took over shortly after](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/01/20/the-huntsman-emily-blunt-cedric-nicolas-troyan "undefined"). _The Huntsman: Winter’s War_ hits theaters on April 22. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/18/the-huntsman-winters-war-trailer "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4118804/the-huntsman-winters-war-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4118804/the-huntsman-winters-war-trailer/"},"headline":"See Charlize Theron and Emily Blunt in The Huntsman: Winter's War Trailer","datePublished":"2015-11-18T19:08:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T12:44:31.406Z","description":"\"Men have forgotten what it means to be afraid\"","url":"https://time.com/4118804/the-huntsman-winters-war-trailer/","keywords":["movies","Jessica Chastain","emily blunt","Chris Hemsworth"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt110bb8bd9749d1f3/698871bdab6d77074e6a7347/charlize-theron.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Devan Coggan / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt110bb8bd9749d1f3/698871bdab6d77074e6a7347/charlize-theron.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Charlize Theron at the \"Let Girls Learn\" Global Conversation in New York City on Sept. 29, 2015.","caption":"Charlize Theron at the \"Let Girls Learn\" Global Conversation in New York City on Sept. 29, 2015.","creditText":"Monica Schipper—FilmMagic/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4118804/the-huntsman-winters-war-trailer/","name":"See Charlize Theron and Emily Blunt in The Huntsman: Winter's War Trailer"}}]}] ```
