The brightest stars shone at The Huntsman: Winter's War Asia premiere on Sunday (April 3) night as Hollywood's A-listers heated up the red carpet at Universal Studios Singapore in Resorts World Sentosa.

First to hit the red carpet around 7pm was the movie's director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, followed by the stunning Charlize Theron who reprises her role as the evil Queen Ravenna.

The loudest screams were for Australian heart-throb Chris Hemsworth, who plays Eric the Huntsman.

American actress Jessica Chastain also graced the red carpet. She plays Sara the warrior, who is Eric's wife.

All four took their time walking down the red carpet for about an hour, signing autographs for adoring fans and taking selfies with them.

Student Nur Athira, 22, says: "It was a good experience to see these big Hollywood stars. I didn't watch the first movie but now I'll definitely catch it and watch The Huntsman."

Miss Sng Kai Lin and Miss Amanda Ong, both 19-year-old students, managed to get shots of the stars.

Miss Sng, who took a selfie with Hemsworth, says: "We started queuing from 4.30pm. I like Jessica and am glad she is part of the new movie. The first one gave a new perspective to the Snow White fairytale so I'm looking forward to The Huntsman."

The Huntsman: Winter's War opens in Singapore on April 14. It is the prequel to the 2012 movie Snow White and the Huntsman.
