1st image of Kristen Stewart as armour-clad Snow White revealed

The first character image of Kristen Stewart as Snow White from her forthcoming fairytale film Snow White And The Huntsman has been revealed during a panel discussion at Comic-Con last weekend.

Stewart, who stars alongside Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, and Sam Claflin, is seen dressed in armour and wielding a huge sword and shield.

While in front of their fans, the leading ladies indulged in displaying their onscreen rivalry, with Theron, who plays the Evil Queen, poking fun at Stewart.

"It's important to me to really understand... where she came from and what drives her to get to where she is. It won't be the Evil Queen who (just) shows up evil. There's going to be a lot of circumstances that bleed into her action. I don't want to just be evil," Contactmusic quotes Theron as saying.

"And trust me, she's dark. She's a serial killer. I'm pretty much preparing to play a serial killer. I'm trying to ground it and make it something real. Watch out, Kristen," she added.

Snow White and the Huntsman is due to begin production next month and is scheduled for release in June 2012.
