Despite appearances in previous trailers, it seems that Emily Blunt's Ice Queen and Charlize Theron's calculating Queen Ravenna aren't quite as bonded as sisters as you might think. There's more to the story (which of course means beware spoilers) in the new promo for The Huntsman: Winter's War. Watch it here{
This time around, the clock spins back to before the time of Snow White, when Freya suffered a nasty betrayal – which we now learn was caused by Ravenna because she was jealous of Frey's beautiful new baby.
Heartbroken and hiding away at a wintry palace, she starts building an army of warriors, training them from a young age to be hardened fighters who value lust for combat over love.
But her two top huntsmen – Eric (Chris Hemsworth) and Sara (Jessica Chastain) – can’t help but fall for one another in defiance of Freya’s wishes. And that’s just the beginning of the story, which sees Ravenna restored after her clash with Snow and Eric using the Magic Mirror and all manner of trouble for the residents of the enchanted land. Plus it looks like we're in for a big ol' sister scrap as Frey's icy magic takes on Ravenna's golden/slimy chaos.
The Huntsman: Winter's War, directed this time by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, will arrive on April 8.
