Actress Kristen Stewart has opened up about why she is not part of the "Snow White and the Huntsman" sequel, saying none of the scripts she'd read were "greenlight-able."
There have been speculations that Stewart's highly-publicized affair with "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders was why she's excluded from its follow-up, "The Huntsman: Winter's War".
Stewart, 26, denied that the scandal got her fired. She said she voluntarily passed on the offer to reprise her Snow White role because she thought none of the scripts she'd read were good enough, reported Variety.
"I read a few scripts. None of them were good. None of them were greenlight-able. And I had a meeting with Universal about the places where the story could go. Maybe Chris was more into it. I actually don't know," she said.
"The Huntsman: Winter's War", despite some A-listers attached to the project like Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Jessica Chastain and Emily Blunt, failed to impress critics and flopped at last month's box office.
