Frozen 2 thaws out Elsa’s backstory.
Disney
Get ready to let it go again. Disney has revealed new details about Frozen 2 — namely, that Evan Rachel Wood will play Princess Elsa’s mother in flashbacks.
Frozen 2 was one of the many movies previewed at the Disney D23 event in Anaheim, California, this weekend, alongside Pixar’s Soul and Onward and assorted Disney Plus shows like The Mandalorian.

A first trailer, in June, gave fans a first look at the animated musical sequel. Those at the D23 event saw Elsa’s parents and heard a new song in footage that’ll hopefully be released soon.
Elsa is being called by a strange voice in the middle of game night.
Anna comforts her with a song: “Where the North Wind meets the Sea, there’s a river full of memories. … For in this river, all is found.”#Frozen2 #D23Expo— cait petrakovitz ➡️ D23 🙌🏽💃🏽 (@misscp) August 24, 2019
