Deadline says The Huntsman will only use two dwarves from the last film, but do not know at this time which ones have been chosen to return. They say Marsan was never a possibility as his schedule was too busy with Showtime’s Ray Donovan. Frost and Jones are not returning because negotiations went south.
Which dwarf could still be in the mix? Ian McShane, Johnny Harris, Ray Winstone and Brian Gleeson. The film featured eight dwarves instead of the usual seven Snow White is accustomed to. If you’re reading the names above and only count seven, that’s because one of the actors passed away, Bob Hoskins. It was his final role before succumbing to Parkinson’s disease.
The sequel sends the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) on a quest to find the magic mirror (which has been stolen), forcing him to face not only his past but the evil Snow Queen who’s set on avenging her sister Ravenna’s death. Charlize Theron will return as the villainous Ravenna and Blunt is making a deal to play her sister, the evil Snow Queen. – The Wrap
The Huntsman will land in theaters April 22, 2016.
