‘Frozen 2’ News: Jennifer Lawrence Will be the Next Elsa?

The hype of Frozen has yet to subside even after more than a year from the release date. Because the animated film was a humongous success, a sequel is now said to be underway.

Fans are very delighted to see Anna and Elsa once again in their magical world of Arendelle along with Cristoph and Olaf.

Hunger Games actress and the newest Hollywood "It" girl, Jennifer Lawrence, is in talks to be a part of the sequel and not just a part of it, but will assume the role of Elsa.

This speculation had stemmed from Katniss singing "The Hanging Tree" in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 where it caught the attention of the Disney people. "The Hanging Tree" made it to the Billboard charts and had further cemented Lawrence as an actress and a singer. The fact that Lawrence has a huge fanbase and is considered as "relevant" these days, Disney thinks that Frozen 2 will generate more viewers. But Lawrence's camp says otherwise and is not "ok" with the idea.

Meanwhile, Idina Menzel did confirm that Frozen 2 is in the works. However, her return in the film has not been made official just yet. Emily Blunt's alleged involvement in the franchise was also slammed personally by the star, who said that she is happy for her friend Kristen Bell about the movie's success.

Disney has yet to corroborate on the matter.

For now, avid fans of the franchise can wait for the short film titled Frozen Fever to be released on March 13 in front of the live-action film Cinderella, and enjoy the "Anna & Elsa" chapter-book series, published by Random House.
