Disney Locks Frozen Trio for Parts 3 and 4 With Reported $60 Million Deals Each

The packages blend large upfront fees with box-office bonuses, securing continuity as Jennifer Lee returns to direct a 2027 installment.

Overview

  • Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel and Josh Gad have reportedly signed to reprise their roles in Frozen 3 and Frozen 4 with deals valued at more than $60 million apiece.
  • The compensation is said to include roughly $20 million upfront per actor plus performance-based bonuses and will be paid over several years rather than as a lump sum.
  • Frozen 3 is slated for Thanksgiving 2027 with Jennifer Lee directing alongside Trent Correy, while Frozen 4 has no release date reported yet.
  • The two sequels are being developed as a connected, two-part story, and production remains early with principal recording not yet underway, according to recent cast updates.
  • The reported paydays far exceed the trio’s Frozen 2 earnings of about $15 million each; Disney declined to comment as producers and songwriters from the earlier films are expected to return.
