Josh reveals
Josh spoke about Frozen 3 while appearing on an episode of The Spotlight with Jessica Shaw podcast on SiriusXM. Josh has voiced the magical talking snowman, Olaf, in the hit animated films. He said that he couldn’t reveal much about the upcoming third instalment.
The 43-year-old revealed, “Anything that I have seen or know I will have been sworn to secrecy on”. While Josh remained tight-lipped about the details, he revealed a valid reason behind the long wait for the film.
Josh continued, “Here’s what I can tell you. 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 first Frozen movie). 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.
