Disney is clearly not letting Arendelle go anytime soon. According to multiple media reports, Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel and Josh Gad have all signed huge deals reportedly worth over 60 million each to return for Frozen 3 and Frozen 4. If true, this would make the trio among the highest paid voice actors in animation history, and honestly it makes sense. Frozen is still one of Disney’s biggest global franchises and the studio is betting on its original voices to carry the magic forward again.
The reports say the cast locked their contracts quietly a while ago, and the scale of these numbers shows just how committed Disney is to keeping the Frozen universe alive. Kristen Bell returning as Anna, Idina Menzel once again bringing that iconic powerhouse voice as Elsa, and Josh Gad coming back as Olaf pretty much confirms that Frozen 3 and Frozen 4 are being positioned as major tentpole releases. Fans have been waiting for updates for years, and now the picture is finally getting clearer.
The Frozen franchise is not just a box office machine. It has become a cultural moment for an entire generation. Let It Go, Do You Want To Build A Snowman, Show Yourself and Into The Unknown are still some of the most streamed Disney songs ever. Elsa became a global symbol of independence. Olaf became the face of wholesome internet humor. And Anna remains one of Disney’s most beloved heroines. So if Disney wants to keep the original cast locked in for the next chapter, signing these massive deals feels like the studio investing in history rather than just another animated sequel.
Frozen 3 is already confirmed by Disney CEO Bob Iger. Frozen 4 is in development too, which means the story is expanding into something bigger, possibly a new saga that will wrap up the franchise. Fans are already speculating what comes next for Elsa after the events of Frozen 2, where she stepped into her power and found her purpose beyond the kingdom. Anna stepping up as Queen of Arendelle also opens completely new storylines. And Olaf, as always, is guaranteed to deliver some emotional chaos.
People online are shocked at the size of the reported deals, but they also agree that if there is any animated franchise worth these numbers, it is Frozen. The box office, merchandise and cultural impact speak for themselves. Disney knows the world will show up for these films, and having the original three voices back gives fans exactly what they want.
Frozen 3 and Frozen 4 are expected to drop in the coming years, and if the reports are accurate, Bell, Menzel and Gad will be returning with bigger paychecks and possibly bigger storylines than ever before. Arendelle is far from done, and neither are its biggest stars.
