Frozen Live-Action: Who Will Play Anna?

What happens when Frozen, a massive global success, gets transformed into Live-Action?!

Kristen Bell Picks Her Live-Action Successor

With two awesome movies and an upcoming Frozen 3 in the works, the question of who will bring Anna back to life, should Disney ever choose to take this beloved film into live action. That’s something we will all be wondering!

Fans will be thrilled to hear what Kristen Bell has to say about the Movie!

She loves her role as Anna. However, with an appearance in Elle in 2024, she has picked a new face. Joey King could be a good choice for the role and it looks to give those fans some hope. The talented actress has had some great hits with her own career such as her role in Bullet Train back in 2022, a comedy/action hybrid, or even a role that might be very well-known to fans in "The Kissing Booth" in 2018.

If that wasn't enough. King had a part in the 2024 movie called "Uglies!" It's looking like a future for this actor full of many bright roles!

So what does Bell have to say?
