Charlize Theron, Jessica Chastain and Emily Blunt appear in new 'Huntsman' trailer

LOS ANGELES, March 22 (UPI) -- Universal Pictures released a new trailer for its upcoming Snow White prequel The Huntsman: Winter's War Tuesday.

The 2 1/2-minute clip features stars Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain.

"Theron stars as evil Queen Ravenna, who betrays her good sister Freya [played by Blunt] with an unforgivable act, freezing Freya's heart to love and unleashing in her an icy power she never knew she possessed. Retreating to a kingdom far to the north, Freya raises an army of Huntsmen as her protectors, with the only rule that no two of them should ever fall in love," a synopsis said.

"As a war for domination escalates between the two queens, the hero standing between them is Freya's most elite Huntsman, Eric [played by Hemsworth.] Alongside fellow warrior Sara [played by 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."

Directed by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, the film is scheduled for release April 22.
