Frozen’s Elsa Comes to Life in Stunning Cosplay, Raising Questions About the Franchise’s Future
A talented cosplayer has recreated Elsa’s iconic look from the “Let It Go” sequence in the original Frozen movie, complete with a screen-accurate blue gown, blonde hairstyle, and makeup. The cosplay also includes a digital ice effect reminiscent of Elsa’s powers in the movie.
The impressive cosplay has sparked questions about the future of the Frozen franchise, particularly in light of Disney’s recent trend of releasing live-action remakes of its classic animated movies. While a live-action Frozen remake has not been officially confirmed, it seems inevitable that one will happen eventually.
Disney has been cashing in on nostalgia by releasing live-action remakes of its animated classics, including Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Pinocchio, and The Jungle Book. A live-action Snow White remake is also on the way later this year.
Considering the massive success of the original Frozen and its sequel, it’s likely that Disney will double down on the franchise and commission a live-action remake. In fact, Frozen 3 is expected to release in theaters on November 24, 2027.
However, most of Disney’s live-action remakes have not been well-received by critics, with many arguing that they do little to justify their existence. With the original Frozen still widely available, it’s unclear whether a live-action remake would be necessary or even justified.
Despite this, the cosplay above makes a compelling argument for bringing Elsa’s ice powers to life in live-action. It’s likely that a live-action Frozen remake will happen eventually, but for now, the love for the original remains.
