Josh Gad, who has voiced Olaf in the first two Frozen movies, as well as the shorts in the franchise, has gotten a sneak peek at the upcoming sequel, Frozen 3, and he has good things to say. In a recent interview with Collider, Gad said of the new film:
“We have not started recording. We have not heard songs yet. I was lucky enough to get sort of a preview of what the movie is, and it’s going to be worth the wait. It’s pretty extraordinary what they’re doing.
“Pretty extraordinary. For me, my whole thing was don’t do a sequel unless there’s a reason to do a sequel. If you have a story worth telling, then call us up and let’s do it.
“To [writer/director] Jennifer Lee’s credit, she really took that note and gave herself that note and has created something that’s going to be worth the wait.”
Frozen 3 is in development, and Frozen 4 was announced two years ago as well. When asked about the fourth feature film in the franchise, Gad responded:
“That is above my pay grade. I think the plan, what they’ve announced, is that there is a Frozen 3 and 4 in the works. The story that I’ve been kind of previewed is the grandest story we’ve ever done, so I anticipate it’s going to be a little too much for one movie.”
I love the first two Frozen films, as well as the holiday short featuring these characters. I look forward to seeing what’s in store in the third and fourth films. Frozen III is set to be released on November 24, 2027.
