The people behind
Snow White & The Huntsman have had a hard time trying to find someone to play the Huntsman. Offering the role to Viggo Mortesnsen, Hugh Jackman, and Johnny Depp without any of them accepting, they finally found the role in Chris Hemsworth, who CBMers know as Thor in both
Thor and the upcoming
The Avengers. From

The
Thor star has officially been offered the role of the huntsman in
Snow White and the Huntsman, co-starring Kristen Stewart as the female lead, EW.com reports.
The huntsman role had once been attached to both Viggo Mortensen and Hugh Jackman, but it seems that after the $66 million opening week
Thor enjoyed, Hemsworth has landed as a frontrunner. Reports that Hemsworth was being eyed for the part surfaced earlier this month. Now the Australian actor signing on for the project seems to be hinged on whether or not shooting for
The Avengers will get in the way.
Snow White & The Huntsman hits theaters December 2012.
