Sam Claflin

While teen girls and the media have obsessed over Kristen Stewart's romance, both in fantasy and real life, with "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson, her post-vampire career will kick off with a true fairy tale romance in "Snow White and the Huntsman."

And finally, her prince has been revealed.

Sam Claflin, a rising star fresh off a major role in "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," has been cast as Prince Charmant in a new spin on the classic tale. He plays opposite Stewart, who will play Snow White, and Charlize Theron, who takes on the Evil Queen.

Thus far, no Huntsman has been found, but "Thor" star Chris Hemsworth has the offer for the role. Previously, Hugh Jackman was up for the job.

The film puts Snow White in the care of a Huntsman originally sent to kill her by Theron's Evil Queen; instead, they soon bond and he trains her for combat as she moves toward meeting her prince.

This is one of a number of "Snow White" films being made; Claflin's prince role will be occupied by Armie Hammer in "The Brothers Grimm: Snow White," which will star Lilly Collins as the princess and Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen.

An edgy, suicidal, sarcastic Snow White?

I'm sorry, but I don't think she should play this part. She's not that great of an actor...

I liked her in “The Messengers†and “The Cake Eatersâ€. And I like the way she looks, so I won‘t be knocking her..

Maybe if Claflin gains enough thirteen year old admirers, Kristen will want him too.

Kristen Stewart is a terrible actress. I'm disappointed that they chose her to be Snow White. I don't see any Snow White qualities in her.

Well, at the very least, it'll be a good-looking movie.
