Sam Claflin's New Projects: 'The Huntsman' + Soccer Legend Biopic

Sam Claflin in Snow White and the Huntsman
Sam Claflin is going to have a very busy year! He's signed on to reprise his role as William in The Huntsman, the sequel (or pre-quel? - it's hard to tell) to Snow White and The Huntsman. Kristen Stewart isn't coming along for the ride this time, but Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron are back as well as newcomers Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain. The Hunstman lands April 22, 2016.
Sam has also been cast as British soccer legend Robin Friday in a biopic scheduled for a fall shoot in the U.K. The film will be based on the biography “The Greatest Footballer You Never Saw: The Robin Friday Story,” co-written by Paul McGuigan and Paolo Hewitt. With Sam's background in - and love for - British football, this should be perfect casting.

Friday played for the Reading and Cardiff teams for four years in the 1970s while leading a hedonistic lifestyle. He died at the age of 38 in 1990; in 2004 he was voted an “all time cult hero” in a BBC poll.
Sam is currently shooting Me Before You with Emilia Clarke, then will appear in Their Finest Hour and a Half, a romantic comedy set in the early 1940s co-starring Gemma Arterton.

As a die‑hard football fan, I always crave insight that cuts through the guesswork—and both teams to score today on CorrectScorePredictions.com delivers just that! Their daily correct‑score tips are clearly drawn from expert analysis, not impulse—leveraging AI simulations, detailed stats, and injury updates. I especially love how they offer both global and African league coverage—from the Premier League to CAF Champions League. It’s refreshing to see tips grounded in real data and logic, rather than flashy headlines.
