Charlize Theron returns to the role of the evil Queen Ravenna, who betrays her good sister Freya (Emily Blunt) which, in turn, unleashes her an icy powers that she never knew she possessed. Retreating to a kingdom far to the north, Freya raises an army of Huntsmen as her protectors. As a war for domination escalates between the two queens, the hero standing between them is Freya’s most elite Huntsman, Eric (Chris Hemsworth). Alongside fellow warrior Sara (Jessica Chastain) – the only woman who has ever captured his heart – Eric must help Freya vanquish her sister, or Ravenna’s wickedness will rule for eternity.
The initial synopsis for this film painted a picture in which the two queens seemed to be working together. Some changes in post or my misunderstanding? Either way, it looks like they're really aiming to capture the FROZEN audience with this one, as Blunt is all but Queen Elsa. While I didn't hate the first movie, this one seems to have little going for it outside of a handful of great actors.
THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER'S WAR opens on April 22, 2016.
