Finally! The first photos of the cast from Rupert Sanders’s Snow White and the Huntsman have been released, showing the cast (which includes Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth) dressed as much darker versions of the characters we know and love.

Stewart in particular appears to be adorned in a full suit of armour, with hair scraped back and brandishing a sword – a large leap from the dainty and naive Disney Snow White.

To be honest, with an axe-wielding Huntsman on her side and talented swordsman of a prince, we can’t see why she really needs this get up, but naturally after eleven years of confinement the first thing she wants to do is embrace the warrior princess within.

However, judging by the look of them if there was ever a face off between competing Snow Whites Kristen Stewart and Lily Collins, Stewart looks set to knock her clean out of the water.
