Colin has been cast as The Duke of Blackwood, Freya’s lover.
Freyja (sometimes anglicized as Freya) is a major goddess in Norse Paganism, a subset of Germanic Paganism. She is a goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. Blonde, blue-eyed, and beautiful, Freyja is described as the fairest of all goddesses, and people prayed to her for happiness in love. She was also called on to assist childbirths and prayed to for good seasons.
So, in the first film, was Freya a friend to Snow White or an enemy? Do we have any idea yet how the Duke will affect the story?

I don’t remember Freya in the first movie. And I also wonder about the relationship, besides “the lover” part, although, really, I must admit that’s enough for me. 😉

I also find it really interesting how he slipped this one well under the radar. 🙂

Freya was the Duke’s lover. From what we are shown, the Duke’s love for Freya appeared to be genuine, although Ravenna was convinced he was just using her sister. They presumably fell in love after Ravenna married the king of the land and conducted a secret affair. The Duke was shown smiling at Freya briefly and it is suggested he planned to leave his fiancee, whom he claimed not to love, to be with Freya – it is unclear if the note Freya received was truly written by him or forged by Ravenna. The Duke appeared shocked and grieved when Freya confronted him over the murder of their child, clearly affected by her own grief. However, before he could fully explain himself, Freya lashed out at him with her ice powers, resulting in his death.
