Frozen 3may not be coming out untilThanksgiving 2027— but according toJosh Gad,it will be well worth the wait.
While appearing on the Jan. 16 episode ofThe Spotlight with Jessica Shawpodcast on SiriusXM, Gad — who voices the magical talking snowman, Olaf, in the hit animated films — shared that he can’t reveal much about the upcoming third installment.
“Anything that I have seen or know I will have been sworn to secrecy on,” Gad, 43, revealed.
However, theBook of MormonBroadway alum did reveal that there’s a good reason fans will have to wait so long for more from the Arendelle gang.
“Here’s what I can tell you,” he continued. “There’s a reason the movie is coming out in 2027. And that is because no one wants to rush this. Everyone wants this to not just be a sequel or a money grab. They want this to be absolutely worthy of the story we set out to make in 2013 [in the firstFrozenmovie].”
“And we want to give audiences something that is worth the years of waiting and years of anticipation. And I know that they are actively working on that. And I know that they have a story that they are very, very, very excited about.”
“And beyond that, I think I’ll have Disney lawyers knocking down my door. But buckle up because I think they have something incredible in store,” he concluded.
The originalFrozen,which also featured the voices ofKristen Bell,Idina MenzelandJonathan Groff, hit theaters in 2013 and became one of thehighest-grossing animated filmsof all time. The film’s sequel,Frozen 2, was released in 2019 and also smashed box office records.

“I don’t think anyone can foresee the box office — like — craziness that it hit,” Bell, 44, said while appearing onThe Ellen Showin 2014.
“But I’ll tell you, when we were making it, there was a part of me that was, going, like, ‘This is really special,’ “ she continued.
