'Once she discovers Ravenna can be resurrected from its golden depths, the wicked sisters threaten this enchanted land with twice the darkest force it’s ever seen,' the logline to the film reads.
'Now, their amassing army shall prove undefeatable unless the banished huntsmen who broke their queen’s cardinal rule can fight their way back to one another.'
The 38-year-old wears her long red hair in elaborate braids in the image.
Oscar-winner Charlize famously demanded the same $10 million salary as male costar Chris, after the Sony hacks revealed a pay gap between male female actors.
Charlize recently posed nude for W magazine, where she talked about her groundbreaking role as Furiosa in critically-acclaimed action film Mad Max: Fury Road.
The actress split from fiance Sean Penn over the summer, and adopted her second child, a daughter, last year.

She's been tearing through a whirlwind promotional tour for her new film Snow White and the Huntsman, one sexy dress at a time.
But even Charlize Theron's skin-tight leather dress couldn't save the fairy tale's lacklustre Japanese premiere today, where reportedly no fans were spotted.
When a Japanese reporter asked the 36-year-old Oscar winner to turn around on the red carpet so he could get a better shot of her edgy, long-sleeved LBD, Charlize responded with a curt, 'That's not very nice.'

Luscious in leather: Charlize Theron and her Snow White director Rupert Sanders had a tough time at the film's lackluster premiere in Japan today, where reportedly no fans were spotted
Perhaps it was just the language barrier, but even Snow White's director Rupert Sanders uttered a sarcastic 'Unbelievable' when asked what he thought of the Japan premiere.

After being quickly whisked away from the media, Charlize and Rupert were clearly unhappy as they made a dramatic entrance onstage through smoke, after which the statuesque blonde sarcastically said, 'Boy do you guys know how to give us a greeting.'
With her striking red lips and fierce gladiator heels, Charlize looked as powerful as her evil stepmother character, Queen Ravenna, and she has remarked that she's currently experiencing 'the bitch period' of her successful career onscreen.
The busy actress will next be seen as the cold corporate figurehead Meredith Vickers in Ridley Scott's highly anticipated sci-fi film Prometheus.
We're sure to see the Monster star in a lot more leather when she takes on her post-apocalyptic warrior character, Furiosa, in the on-again/off-again Mad Max: Fury Road starring Tom Hardy.
Rupert, an award-winning commercial director making his first feature, wore a black suit with white shirt, silver tie, and brown suede Oxfords.
The 5'10" star told Australian magazineMadison that she never planned on becoming a single mother.
The Road star -- whose baby Jackson was born in her native South Africa in March -- had always thought about adopting but never contemplated doing it without a man in her life.
'You know, I don't think any mother aims to be a single mom. I didn't wish for that, but it happened,' Charlize revealed.
'I always knew I would adopt. Always.'
The start has always been open about her desire to adopt, saying in 2011: 'I'm open to everything in life. I want a baby. If it would happen tomorrow I would be very happy.'
Charlize split from her partner boyfriend of nine years, Stuart Townsend, in 2010.
But the South African beauty won't be getting hitched any time soon as she thinks marriage is nothing more than a ceremony.
She said: 'It has never been that important to me. I don't know why exactly. Some might say it's because my parents didn't have a good marriage, but I don't think so. I treat my relationships like marriages. The ceremony isn't that important to me.'

Next year she'll star in Two Eyes Staring, a horror tale centered on the friendship between a young girl and the ghost of her mother's twin.
The Young Adult star also plans on reprising her Mary Embrey role in Will Smith's Hancock 2.
Meanwhile in Mexico City, Charlize's costars Kristen Stewart and Sam Claflin attended a photocall yesterday.
The globe-trotting cast have flown to Madrid and Berlin this week following the world premiere in London on Monday.
Snow White and the Huntsman is set to be released in the UK on May 30.
