What to expect from the next Frozen films - probable Plot explored
Along with the release date, Disney has also kept the plot details of the upcoming Frozen movies under wraps. We do however know that there are two new films under production in the franchise that are intricately connected.
While no official information about Frozen 3 has been disclosed by the studio, Peter Del Vecho, producer of the prior two films in the franchise said in an exclusive interview with The Direct last year, “Look we only do sequels if we believe there's enough story to tell. They're working on it up in development. I’m focused on Wish. But it is exciting what they're working on. I will say anything that you read about it in public, we haven't said anything about it. So it's all conjecture, but I trust that it's going to be amazing.”
Jennifer Lee, the director, shared that the team is “really excited about where they're going," while adding that there's “a lot of story to tell with that direction that the movie’s headed.”
Frozen 2 ended with Elsa’s sister Anna becoming the new queen of Arendelle while she took up her role as the protector of the Enchanted Forest. Exploring their new roles will definitely make for the majority of Frozen 3 and 4 plots.
