POLL: Would You See A Snow White And The Huntsman Sequel That Didn't Star Kristen Stewart?
With Deadline reporting that Universal Pictures is denying a Hollywood Reporter story that Kristen Stewart has been deep-sixed from the sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman, and the Twitter-verse buzzing over the news, we here at Movieline figure it's a good time to ask our readers to weigh in on this debate.
As Deadline points out, SWATH's near $400 million worldwide box-office gross makes it an eligible vehicle for a sequel, and, internally, Universal is discussing whether to focus the next movie on the Huntsman character played by Chris Hemsworth, who is fast proving himself to be leading-man material. According to our sister site, the Hollywood Reporter "used all this as a referendum to stamp out the participation of Stewart, because of recent events, which seemed a bit harsh and unfair, particularly since nary a word of the sequel or spinoff has yet been written." (There's also the bit of news that Universal has bought a crime drama called 90 Church: The True Story of the Narcotics Squad from Hell for Huntsman director Rupert Sanders.)
So, now we're dying to ask you: Would you see SWATH 2 without Kristen Stewart? Check out the poll below and vote. It'll be good practice for November.

@movieline, how can you say ppl are divided when 76% want her in it?
Sam: First few Tweet responses were divided, which is what we were referring to. Now the votes are flooding in! Will update Tweet with later results.
Not only NO but HELL NO!!!!
I don't care either way.
NO thank you i want kristen
I saw SWATH cause Of Kristen. And that's one of reason why it's done well in B/O. No Kristen in Snow White 2 NOT going to watch it.and I'm sure her fans won't watch it too
Well, I'm avoiding the first one because of her presence, so yeah, it's an attractive proposition for me.
Agreed. I'm almost surprised that wasn't an option on the poll. Her not being in the sequel would exponentially increase the liklihood of me seeing it.
I had no interest in seeing the first movie that had her in it, and I have no interest in seeing a sequel without her in it. Why wasn't that an option?
Seconded!
I didn't vote because you didn't list my choice. If they made the movie without her, I would go, but I wouldn't be happy about her being missing.
What about a fourth choice... No sequel at all.
Interesting. Why not? The box office from the first film tells Universal that a sequel is merited.
It's actually on the bubble (which I believe the deadline article indicated as well). It's in the same territory as Tron (which also grossed 400 million domestic and international) and the studios were initially going to do a sequel on that and then they decided against it. They also had similar budgets. So given that, I think no sequel is a valid option.
Also, this wasn't exactly a film that screamed "sequel" like say, The Matrix, or even Tron (which at least has an interesting world to explore as opposed to SWATH, which was basically an ambiguous and nameless fairy tale world). It just didn't really feel like the start of anything.
And let's face it, until this scandal broke, no one really cared about this movie that much. Critics and audiences were both like, "meh" on it. But now that director and leading lady were getting steamy, people are intrigued. But that didn't make SWATH a better film. Just my two cents.

Even with or without Kristen Stewart, a movie WITHOUT Snow White and only the Huntsmen is ridiculous. Who cares about the Huntsmen? Even in the Snow White pecking order he would be last or even unknown as follows: Snow White > Dwarves > Evil Queen > Prince Charming > Magic Mirror > Steve the Plumber > Huntsmen. It's a story about Snow White through and through, nothing less.
I watched SWATH despite Kristen and her special brand of non-acting. Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth are what brought me to the theatre to watch it, to be honest.
there's no show without Charlize, probably wouldnt watch snow white, definitely not interested in the huntsman
Theron has been ignored in all of this. Unfairly. (Mea culpa.)
I'm not really invested in this either way, but I find it interesting and unfair that they'd cut her out so quickly yet seem to have no problem doing business with him-the cheating married father of 2? I know it has to do with public image or whatever but yikes.
"I find it interesting and unfair that they'd cut her out so quickly yet seem to have no problem doing business with him"
Word to this.
I have Tons of movies without her, and I will continue to see tons of movies without her... give me a good story, and good acting over a specific person any day of the week.
I want a pole for how many people want Rupert out. I bet you get 100% of people say kick him to the curb.

I watched SWATH 3 times only because of Kristen. I am a brazilian Kristen fan and she has lots of loyal brazilian fans.
Critics and audiences were both like, "meh" on it. But now that director and leading lady were getting steamy, people are intrigued. But that didn't make SWATH a better film. Just my two cents. I am on ( == BlackWhitePlanet– c 0 /m. ==), met many good guys and beauties, they also want to find true love. Now I have found my l’ove , so I recommend it to you, I hope everyone can find their best l’ove.Goodluck.The box office from the first film tells Universal that a sequel is merited.
i never saw SWATH, and not because i do not fancy, KS, but because i had no one to go with, but i said i'll see it on DVD, to be honest, i am not a fan, but she did make a great snow white, now ppl be honest, SW is an english movie right, not the men, but how do you think females will react to K on the movie set, seeing that liberty is rupert's wife, now ladies be honest, if rupert was you husband/bf, would you think different, i'm sure CH'S wife ad some choice words to him, kristen is a very sex female, to things i was pissed about, in fact three, 1, why didn't she breakup with rob before, did she want to have her cake and eat it too? 2 this thing happen on the 17th, so until USweekly called her, and give her 24 hrs to notify who ever, she was fooling rob, Wow! and why a married man, after you befriended his wife, as a female how do you thinking liberty is feeling, you think kristen can ever look liberty in the face? we are all females, i think,but come one, now rupert is a scum of the earth, i still believe liberty will divorce him!
meh, probably the same kstew fanatics voting like 12897429075 times. this doesn't mean anything.
i tried that you are only allowed one vote
we will never ever watch snow white without kristen !!! she was the only reason that we watched the movie in the first place
No kristen,no sw for me.her personal life has no bearing on her professional life.
No swath 2 for me if Kristen is out as principal character. And this time, please spend enough time on a GOOD SCTIPT and get another director who is overall a good one and not just on visuals. sequel 1 would have been a lot better filmwise and also at the B.O. if Universal had their shit together before filming this. Kristen's skills were under utilized because the script sucked. Lesson to be learned for the producers and Uniiversal.
I just want to add that, I would not see a sequel if Kstew was in it or not, the first movie was garbage
Not seeing it if Kristen is not in it and there are no Two ways about it
I like that there are so many loyal Stewart fans here
