AfterFrozenandFrozen 2extensively explored the land of Arendelle, fans might see an expansion of the franchise’s universe in future films.Frozen 2concluded with Elsa becoming the protector of the Enchanted Forest, while Anna became Queen of Arendelle.The franchise’s thirdFrozenfilmwill likely feature the Enchanted Forest as a prominent location and feature the Northuldra tribe more heavily.
Fans will be excited to know that Disney seems to have robust plans for the franchise’s future. Following the first two films' massive box-office success, Disney was eager to move forward with the franchise.
