Several users who have edited this page believe that Charlize Theron gets top billing. I disagree; I think Kristen Stewart gets top billing. The sources I used to support this theory include the credits on the poster, iTunes Movie Trailers, the film's Facebook page, the film's twitter feed, and this: [1] I've been told that the film's official gives Theron the top billing, but as far as I can tell, there is no cast list on the film's website.

The Plot section explains what the story of the movie, but may not explain what really happens in the movie. What exactly are the three drops of blood about? Are Ravenna and Snow White in actuality the same person? [2] -- 82.170.113.123 ( talk) 21:47, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

There's an actress listed as playing the Huntsman's wife. That character is already dead by the time of the Huntsman's first appearance, and I don't recall her appearing in any flashbacks or anything like that. Did I miss something. Tad Lincoln ( talk) 05:49, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
Kristen Stewart who played Snow White in Snow White and the Huntsman directed by Rupert Sanders recently had an affair together. While Kristen Stewart was romantically involed with Twlight saga co-star Robert Pattinson (who has since moved out of the residence from Kristen Stewart), Kristen Stewart was seen beeing romantically involved with Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders. Both Kristen Stewart and Rupert Sanders have apologized since been caught by the media. The chacrter of Queen Eleanor in Snow White and the Huntsman played by Liberty Ross is the wife of director Rupert Sanders and played Snow White's mother in the movie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.199.132.82 ( talk) 21:52, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
since the sequel section mentions the "public fling", with details being posted in the following section, perhaps they should be switched around...just a thought :) 60.241.64.151 ( talk) 07:20, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
the "scandal" has nothing to do with the movie, and should be removed altogether. Caringtype1 ( talk) 15:51, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
In the article there is a section about the protest of the Little People of America to the digital face replacement for the Dwarves, and it says "despite the fact that the Dwarves were played by British actors."

I've noticed from following the page that the line "Stewart's performance received mixed reviews" constantly gets changed from "...mixed..." to "...mixed to positive..." to "...mixed to negative...". Is there some definitive source that can sum up how mixed her performance was? static shakedown ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ 11:13, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
If you read the plot summary there, the first paragraph sounds like a prequel, sure, a flashback telling how the younger sister was banished, but it sounds like that would be a brief portion of the film compared to the second paragraph which focuses on the younger sister returning to the kingdom and teaming up with her older sister again, which sounds sequel.
What do you call it when a movie depicts events happening before and after the originating film? A surroundquel? A presequel? I think Lion King 1.5 was like that. 174.92.135.167 ( talk) 13:05, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
See this article. Disney may have copyrights on depictions and derivative works, but the property "Snow White" is far too old to be anyone's intellectual property. Elizium23 ( talk) 00:09, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
This film is set entirely in a fantasy world and not any world like ours. This movie does not have any connection to a world like ours. Per definition this should go in high fantasy. I don't know why it keeps getting changed to dark fantasy. Lord of the Rings has dark features in it as well, how come nobody calls it dark fantasy. By definition this is a high fantasy film and should be left there.-- Taeyebar 20:22, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
Can anyone explain why the queen is called Ravenna? It sounds like the name of an Italian city, but then you see ravens flying. Does it have anything to do with raven (the raven)? The story of Snow White was inspired by the city of Sulmona, where Publius Ovidius Naso was born who wrote the Metamorphoses. In this work a character called Chione or Neve appears. In Sulmona there was the Corvi family who inspired Basile the story of Lo cuorvo in Racconto dei Racconti. The real Snowwhite was the Marquise Giovanna Zazzara, wife of Annibale Corvi (Corvi means Ravens). Ravens are supposed to represent beauty and order, in fact they were sacred to the god Apollo. The ravens are supposed to represent Snow White and not the queen. Marquise Giovanna Zazzara, wife of Annibale Corvi (Corvi means Ravens), was the inspiration for Snowhite (white skin, red cheeks and thick jet-black hair). In fact, the surname Zazzara (o Zazzera) really means thick hair. You have to read the fairy tale "The Crow" or "The Raven" by Giambattista Basile to understand. Does the author of this Snow White perhaps know these things? 95.250.174.126 ( talk) 03:34, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Snow White & the Huntsman – The current title violates
MOS:AMPERSAND, which states: Retain an ampersand when it is a legitimate part of the style of a proper noun, the title of a work, or a trademark, such as in Up & Down or AT&T.
Similar to works such as
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,
Percy Jackson & the Olympians,
Fast & Furious,
Batman & Robin (film),
Dungeons & Dragons,
Hobbs & Shaw, and
Deadpool & Wolverine, the correct title of this film uses an ampersand, not the word "and", as seen in
the billing block at the bottom of the poster. Many external style guides instruct copyeditors to change ampersands in titles of works to "and", so the common name is irrelevant; this is a matter of styling, which is what our MoS is for. Wikipedia's style is to use whatever is in the actual name; external style guides that other sources follow do not dictate our style. Additionally, the use of an ampersand vs. "and" does not negatively impact recognizability or any of the five
WP:CRITERIA, and for what it's worth, there are plenty of reliable sources that use an ampersand:
