Kristen Stewart is pretty excited to be wielding a sword

Kristen Stewart was initially reluctant to take on Snow White before discovering how substantive the character was constructed.

After “Twilight,” Stewart said she wasn’t eager to tackle another character immortalized in literature. But Snow White’s character itself won her over. “Snow White wasn’t something that initially I was jumping at, but she’s got this amazing ability to channel fear of things that people are very afraid of into this very focused, really charged driving energy,” she observed. “She’s also the people’s leader, and she doesn’t let her heart cloud her mind, and she doesn’t let her mind get in the way of doing what she feels is important.” She also admitted there was a more tangible reason the role appealed to her: “Also I get to have a sword.”

Claflin even hinted that his Prince Charming might not “necessarily as charming as one would hope.” Theron, who plays the Evil Queen, said she thought Stewart would “give her a run for her money” but was ready to go toe-to-toe with her. “I’m ready for it, bitch. Let’s go,” the Oscar winner said to cheers from the crowd.

The director gave the crowd a first look at the eight dwarves, which includes Ian McShane, Toby Jones, Bob Hoskins, Eddie Marsan, Stephen Graham, Ray Winstone and Nick Frost. Slightly spoiling that they won’t all make it, he says that “they’re very tough East End villains in their day jobs but they’re coming together to be very tough group of East End dwarves. This is my desperation to make a war movie. I’ve cast my British SAS Squad with this great actors who are very funny, very tough and together they’re just unstoppable.”
