Kristen Bell<\/a> is not disclosing her payday for the upcoming \u201cFrozen<\/a>\u201d sequels, but she is denying recent reports <\/a>that claim she\u2019s earning $60 million to reprise her voice role of Anna in \u201cFrozen 3<\/a>\u201d and \u201cFrozen 4.\u201d Reports also stated that Bell\u2019s co-stars, Idina Menzel and Josh Gad, were also earning $60 million each for the two sequels, bringing the trio\u2019s combined pay to a staggering $180 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there\u2019s been a lot misreported about that\u00a0\u2018Frozen\u2019\u00a0deal,\u201d Bell told\u00a0Entertainment Tonight<\/a> at the Actor Awards. \u201cNo, no, no, no, no that\u2019s somebody making a lot of things up. But that said, am I happy to have that job and does it pay very well because it\u2019s a successful franchise? Yes. And I\u2019m so grateful for it and I will continue to do it for the rest of my life if they\u2019ll have me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDidn\u2019t it sound absurd when you read it?\u201d Bell also asked about the pay reports. \u201cWhen I read it, I was like, \u2018Woah, woah, what!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFrozen\u201d is one of Disney\u2019s most popular animated franchises. The 2013 original was a $1.3 billion smash hit that launched the characters \u2014 Bell\u2019s Anna, Menzel\u2019s Elsa and Gad\u2019s Olaf \u2014 and the original song \u201cLet It Go\u201d into the cultural zeitgeist. \u201cFrozen\u201d won the Oscars for best animated feature and original song. 2019\u2019s \u201cFrozen 2\u201d was an even bigger box office smash with $1.45 billion, which for a time made it the highest-grossing animated movie ever. Disney announced in 2024 that \u201cFrozen 3\u201d would hit theaters November 24, 2027. That same year, the studio let it slip<\/a> that \u201cFrozen 4\u201d was also in development.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrozen\u201d songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez will be back to pen new songs for the upcoming two sequels. First look concept art<\/a> for \u201cFrozen 3\u201d was unveiled in August 2024 and showed Elsa on a white horse and Anna on a brown stag. Plot details remain under wraps.<\/p>\n
