Evan Rachel Wood, who stars in HBO's western/sci-fi drama Westworld as Dolores Abernathy, has been described as having the perfect voice for her character in Disney's forthcoming Frozen 2.
"Evan Rachel Wood plays Anna and Elsa's mother, who had an appearance in the first movie but we didn't know much about her," producer Peter Del Vecho said during The Contenders Los Angeles event. "Like a lot of mothers, she imparts a lot of wisdom they use later in life. Evan Rachel Wood has that perfect voice that sits right in between Anna and Elsa's voice, so it sounds naturally like their mother."
Frozen 2's story takes place three years after the events of the first film. It's projected to have a successful, record-setting opening weekend, with predictions suggesting that the animated film will open at over $100 million. The original Frozen went on to earn over $1.27 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing animated film of all time.
Arriving Nov. 22, Disney's Frozen 2 reunites directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck and producer Del Vecho with voice actors Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff and Josh Gad. Returning musical talents include Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.
