Chris Hemsworth Confirmed For Snow White & The Huntsman

Deadline reports that Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek, Thor) has been officially cast in the huntsman role in Rupert Saunder's Snow White & The Huntsman. Hemsworth has proved he can carry a rather large film with Thor. Chris has three big films coming out within the next year which includes the Red Dawn remake, the horror film Cabin In The Woods written by Joss Whedon (Buffy, Avengers) who is also directing him in Avengers. So everyone will know him by the time this film is released.

While I'm not too impressed with the casting of Kristen Stewart in the role of Snow White. The other supporting cast of Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen and Sam Claflin (Ironclad, Pirates 4) as the Prince are decent enough now that Hemsworth is involved. Chris wasn't the only actor in mind as the studio reached out to Johnny Depp, Tom Hardy, Viggo Mortensen and Hugh Jackman.

Depp & Theron Offered Roles In Snow White & The Huntsman?

Snow White & The Huntsman is becoming very interesting with it's current casting talk. TheWrap reports Universal has offered the Huntsman role to Johnny Depp. Tom Hardy has also been linked to the role yet could be too busy to take on the project. I'm sure Universal is trying to capture some of the magic and success from Depp's Alice In Wonderland. The studio has also announced the film's release date which is now set for December 21st 2012. ThePlaylist reports that Charlize Theron could be cast in the role of the evil queen Ravenna.
