Hugh Jackman offered the Huntsman role in Snow White and the Huntsman
Last month, we reported that director Darren Aronofsky had stepped away from The Wolverine, which Hugh Jackman is set to star in. Reports have surfaced since then that indicate 20th Century Fox is in no rush to find a new director for this X-Men spin-off.
Viggo Mortensen was previously set to play The Huntsman, although we also reported in March that the actor may bow out of the project. It seems he has left, opting to star in the Spanish-language movie Todos tenemos un plan instead. It is said that a rewrite on Snow White and the Huntsman, which he isn't in favor of, was the main factor behind the decision.
Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron will star in Snow White and the Huntsman for director Rupert Sanders. Hossein Amini is reportedly in talks to rewrite the screenplay. Production will start on Snow White and the Huntsman in mid-September.
Snow White and the Huntsman was released June 1st, 2012 and stars Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Sam Claflin, Sam Spruell, Ian McShane, Bob Hoskins, Ray Winstone. The film is directed by Rupert Sanders.

The main thing that I took from this article was that Fox is in no rush to find Aronofsky's replacement. That tells me that Fox may be waiting for Darren to come back, or to see how First Class pans out.

Viggo probably left cause he didn't want to act w/ Kristen Stewart. as for Hugh Jackman, he could probably pull it off but I prefer him in more action oriented stuff than this would seem to be
