A brand-new trailer has been released for "The Huntsman: Winter's War," the forthcoming prequel to 2012's fairy tale actioner "Snow White and the Huntsman," in which Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron have returned to reprise their respective roles as the rogue Huntsman and the evil Queen Ravenna.

This time around, Hemsworth and Theron are joined by Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain. While visual effects artist Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, who received an Oscar-nomination for his visual FX work on "Snow White and the Huntsman," has taken over the directing duties -- it's his directorial debut.

Blunt is playing Ravenna's younger sister, Freya The Ice Queen. Possessing the power of ice, Freya has raised an army of huntsmen, which includes Hemsworth's Eric and Chastain's Sara, two fearless warriors who have grown up together and have developed feelings for each other. While a revengeful Freya plans to overthrow Ravenna's evil empire, Eric and Sara embark on their own quest to save their enchanted world.

"The Huntsman: Winter's War" is due to open on April 22.

synopsis:
The fantastical world of Snow White and the Huntsman expands to reveal how the fates of The Huntsman Eric and Queen Ravenna are deeply and dangerously intertwined. Chris Hemsworth and Oscar-winner Charlize Theron return to their roles in The Huntsman Winter's War, an epic action-adventure in which they are joined by Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain, as well as director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan. Producer Joe Roth (Maleficent, Alice in Wonderland) once again leads the team in a breathtaking new tale nested in the legendary saga.

Long before the evil Queen Ravenna (Theron) was thought vanquished by Snow White’s blade, she watched silently as her sister, Freya (Blunt), suffered a heartbreaking betrayal and fled their kingdom. With Freya’s ability to freeze any enemy, the young ice queen has spent decades in a remote wintry palace raising a legion of deadly huntsmen -- including Eric (Hemsworth) and warrior Sara (Chastain) -- only to find that her prized two defied her one demand: Forever harden your hearts to love.

When Freya learns of her sister's demise, she summons her remaining soldiers to bring the Magic Mirror home to the only sorceress left who can harness its power. But once she discovers Ravenna can be resurrected from its golden depths, the wicked sisters threaten this enchanted land with twice the darkest force it's ever seen. Now, their amassing army shall prove undefeatable...unless the banished huntsmen who broke their queen’s cardinal rule can fight their way back to one another.
