Earlier today,
Disney released a new trailer for the upcoming sequel to 2013's
Frozen. Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad will all be returning as Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, and Olaf respectively. However,
Frozen 2 will also introduce some new characters and cast members.
The new trailer reveals five new characters and four voice actors who will feature in the highly anticipated sequel. Disney has released some official descriptions of the characters. Alfred Molina, Martha Plimpton, Rachel Matthews, and Jason Ritter are the new additions to the cast. Molina plays Elsa and Anna's father whilst the other three are residents of the Enchanted Forest.
Sterling K. Brown will also be playing a resident of the mysterious forest and Evan Rachel Wood will play the mother of Elsa and Anna. Though those two aren't reprising roles from the first Frozen, they aren't mentioned in the official descriptions below as they were
announced as a part of the cast back in August.
Check out the official character descriptions below:
-
KING AGNARR – The son of King Runeard, King Agnarr is married to Queen Iduna, and is Anna and Elsa’s father. King Agnarr loves his family, and would do anything to ensure his daughters’ wellbeing and safety. Alfred Molina lends his voice to King Agnarr.
-
YELANA - The unspoken leader of the nomadic Northuldra. She is fiercely protective of her family and community but is known to soften when people show an understanding of nature and their environment. Martha Plimpton was called on to bring Yelana to life.
-
HONEYMAREN - A member of the Northuldra, Honeymaren is a true free spirit and wants nothing more than to bring peace to the enchanted forest. She is bold and brave, with a reverence for the magic of nature. Rachel Matthews provides the voice of Honeymaren.
-
RYDER - Eager and fun, Honeymaren's brother Ryder embraces life with optimism. Ryder's love of reindeer might just rival Kristoff's - but unlike Kristoff, Ryder has never roamed the great plains outside of the Enchanted Forest. He longs to embrace the world and venture beyond the magical mist. Jason Ritter lends his voice to Ryder.
-
BRUNI - Curious and cute, this salamander inhabits the Enchanted Forest. Though shy at first, Bruni can't help but be drawn to Elsa's icy magic and enjoys the cool snowflake treats she creates.
Why was Elsa born with magical powers? The answer is calling her and threatening her kingdom. Together with Anna, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven, she'll set out on a dangerous but remarkable journey. In “Frozen,” Elsa feared her powers were too much for the world. In “Frozen 2,” she must hope they are enough.
Frozen 2 is set to arrive in theatres on November 22nd, 2019.
