“Frozen 2” remains a major mystery to its fans, as Disney have been keeping their lips tightly shut about their upcoming production. And knowing how much is at stake with it, they probably have the right idea. Many people are visibly excited about the newest “Frozen”, and if Disney play their cards right, this could easily go down in history as one of their most solid animation works. And while official details remain blurry, there are certainly plenty of rumors to go around, the most recent of which claims that Jennifer Lawrence will be joining the production as the voice of Elsa.
This is actually something that has been speculated for a while now, and it’s not the first time the rumor is making an appearance. However, this time the rumors are reportedly coming from a source close to the production, and are as close to the truth as we could get – of course, whether or not this is true, is up for debate, but the information is there for what it’s worth.
According to the report, the ball is actually in Lawrence’s court at the current stage, as Disney have been trying to convince her to sign on, but have been met with some reluctance from her side. It’s not known what the conflict could be related to, but if Disney do manage to bring her on for the new film, this could definitely be a very welcomed, refreshing change for the cast of “Frozen”. It’s not just about Lawrence’s undoubted ability to deliver a good performance – but the actress also has a very expansive fan following, so her presence on the cast is guaranteed to generate even more hype about the upcoming production.
Are Disney actually going to need that for “Frozen 2”? It’s hard to tell. The original film was already incredibly popular, and a lot of eyes are firmly set on Disney’s work on the sequel. On the other hand, a little extra popularity can never hurt, especially when it comes to a production like “Frozen 2”. And in addition, Jennifer Lawrence could easily make the franchise more attractive to a more mature crowd, as it’s currently seen as a children’s film.
While it’s true that there are some fans of “Frozen” among the more mature audiences, those are generally seen as an exception rather than the norm. Which, according to many critics, is a shame, as the film definitely has a lot to say to even some of its more mature viewers. If a more prominent actress like Jennifer Lawrence decided to join the production, this would surely have positive results on its popularity in the long term.
