Little has been revealed about the fresh take on the familiar story yet the fact that there are eight dwarves is a hint plus the focus is more on the Princess' fight with, rather than flight from, the Queen.
Instead of killing her as ordered, Chris Hemsworth's Huntsman is set to train the princess in the art of war in this new epic action-adventure.
Gleeson is set to play Gus and his fellow dwarves will be played by Ian McShane, Nick Frost, Ray Winstone, Toby Jones, Bob Hoskins, Johnny Harris and Eddie Marsan.
Snow White and the Huntsman opens in Irish cinemas on Friday June 1.
