Kristen Stewart will not be returning for the sequel to reprise her role as the character Snow White. Her character is reportedly not appearing in this installment.
Universal Pictures had originally planned to do a "Snow White and the Huntsman 2", but had dropped Kristen Stewart from the sequel due to her affair with director Rupert Sanders and instead decided to focus on and develop a spin-off following The Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth).
Universal's director short list for the project consists of Frank Darabont, Gavin O'Connor, and Andrés Muschietti. Darabont was eventually signed for the directorial duties for the project.
