Anya Taylor-Joy Keen On Playing Elsa In Live-Action Frozen Adaptation
Anya Taylor-Joy has expressed her desire to portray Elsa in a live-action adaptation of Frozen. The 28-year-old actress, known for love of Disney, previously auditioned for a role in Maleficent early her career. She is enthusiastic about the idea of starring in a new version of the 2013 animated film, which features iconic songs like "Let It Go."
In an interview with Vogue Hong Kong, Anya shared her dream Disney role: "I think Frozen would be pretty great. It would be very fun to shoot ice out of your hand. Also, you'd just be the favourite at every kid's birthday party." She added that it would be special for her nieces and nephews to say, "my auntie is Elsa."
In February 2023, it was announced that a third animated Frozen movie is in development. At this year's D23 Expo, Disney Animation confirmed that the film is scheduled for release in 2027. Although a live-action version has not been officially announced, it remains a dream project for Anya.
Anya also expressed her interest in making her Disney debut through a musical. She explained: "I would love to do a musical because I'm 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."
As a child, Anya trained as a ballet dancer, which she believes contributed significantly to her personal growth. The discipline and rhythm she learned from ballet have influenced her acting approach. She stated: "I see acting as a rhythm thing; I almost hear it as music, and that helps so much with stunt choreography because you're in a dance with every other performer around you."
Her ballet training has given her an appreciation for the coordination required in stunt choreography. Knowing both her own movements and those of others ensures safety during performances.
Anya Taylor-Joy's enthusiasm for playing Elsa highlights her passion for challenging roles and her deep connection to Disney films. Her background in ballet and dedication to hard work make her an intriguing candidate for any future musical projects.
