Universal is having a hard time casting the male lead in 'Snow White and the Huntsman."
Negotiations Hugh Jackman have ended, TheWrap has confirmed.
Universal was talking to Jackman, and had other actors in mind, as well, according to an individual familiar with the project.
The studio had been negotiating with Viggo Mortensen for the role, but in late March, 
after about two months of talks, Universal and Mortensen parted ways.
Jackman started negotiating with the studio last week.
