Now, Deadline reports that Charlize Theron (Young Adult, Mad Max: Fury Road) is currently in negotiations to play the Evil Queen in Universal’s film, which may star Michael Fassbender (Jane Eyre, A Dangerous Method) as The Huntsman. In addition, THR reports that actress (and granddaughter of Elvis), Riley Keough (The Runaways) is at the top of Universal’s short list to play the title role of Snow White.
