If Disney were to ever decide to make a live-action remake of their smash hit animated movie ‘Frozen’, Emmy-nominated Queen’s Gambit actress and star of ‘Furiosa’ Anya Taylor-Joy would love the opportunity to play Elsa, according to Entertainment Weekly.
“I would love to do a musical because I’m a bit addicted to hard work. I like having an impossible mountain to climb. The idea of having to be able to sing, dance, and act at the same time would just really thrill me,” Taylor-Joy said during an interview with Vogue Hong Kong. “I think Frozen would be pretty great. It would be very fun to shoot ice out of your hand.”
“Also, you’d just be the favorite at every kid’s birthday party. All of my siblings have children now, so I would love for them to be able to say, ‘My auntie is Elsa.’ That would be pretty sick.”
The potential success of a live-action version of ‘Frozen’ would be a smash hit at the box office, as both animated ‘Frozen’ films have grossed over $2.7 billion at the global box office and have led to other franchise expansions, including rides and attractions at Disney parks across the globe.
Disney CEO Bob Iger had fans excited when he announced back in November that Frozen 3 and Frozen 4 were officially in the works, but did not “have much to say about those films” currently, adding that Frozen film director Jennifer Lee was “hard at work with her team at Disney Animation on not one but actually two stories” to keep the franchise rolling into the future.
