The franchise has since earned more than $2.7 billion worldwide while spawning offshoots such as rides at Disney theme parks. <br \/>Then, in November of 2023, Disney\u2019s CEO Bob Iger announced that<em><strong> Frozen 3<\/strong><\/em> and <em><strong>4<\/strong><\/em> were in the works, though the studio has never confirmed that it was contemplating a live-action version.<br \/><br \/>In discussing the reasons for her interest in the role, Taylor-Joy was quoted as saying: \u201cIt would be very fun to shoot ice out of your hand. Also, you\u2019d just be the favorite at every kid\u2019s birthday party. All of my siblings have children now, so I would love for them to be able to say \u2018my auntie is Elsa.\u2019 That would be pretty sick.\u201d <br \/><br \/>The 28-year-old actress enthusiastically added, \u201cI would love to do a musical because I\u2019m a bit addicted to hard work. I like having an impossible mountain to climb. The idea of having to be able to sing, dance, and act at the same time would just really thrill me.\u201d<br \/><br \/>Taylor-Joy credits her early training as a ballet dancer as being a major asset to her career and to life in general. \u201cMy background as a dancer has helped me with everything in my life,\u201d she said. &#8220;It\u2019s not only the discipline that it instills in you. I danced ballet from ages 3 to 15, and it doesn\u2019t matter if you go to a party; you\u2019re up at five o\u2019clock in the morning to get to that six o\u2019clock dance lesson. I see acting as a rhythm thing; I almost hear it as music, and that helps so much with stunt choreography because you\u2019re in a dance with every other performer around you, so you don\u2019t only know your own beats, you know everybody else\u2019s beats in order to keep everyone safe.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>Such training also came in handy when she had to perform stunts in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt12037194\/\"><em><strong>Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. Taylor-Joy declared that \u201cI relished the opportunity to be able to do as many stunts as I did, because there\u2019s a very specific perfectionism that comes with stunts. You can do something kind of right or you can get it completely right and that\u2019s not often the case in life. And I loved it.\u201d <br \/><br \/>Check out more of Edward\u2019s articles<br \/><br \/><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anya Taylor-Joy told an interviewer for Vogue Hong Kong this week how much she would love to play the character of Elsa if Disney decides to do a live-action adaptation of Frozen, based on Hans Christian Andersen\u2019s classic fairy tale The Snow Queen.
