The success of Disney's 2013 offering 'Frozen' has undeniably been mind boggling. After sweeping the globe during its November premiere, 'Frozen Fever' is still very much felt two years after its cinematic run. The movie has grossed over $1 billion on a budget of a tenth of its profits and the merchandise tied with the animated feature is still selling strong.

The success for the movie almost makes the announcement for the sequel last March unsurprising. However, not a lot of details surrounding the upcoming release has been confirmed. Thankfully, director Chris Buck has since responded to the cries of the movie's fans granting tiny glimpses of their new project.

In a recent interview, Buck revealed that 'Frozen 2' would see a whole different side of Elsa. In the original, Buck explained how Elsa was perceived as uptight and because of the events that happened at the tail-end of the movie, a more laid back and fun Elsa would be featured in the sequel.

As reported in Moviepilot, Bucks says, "In Frozen she had such a dramatic journey, and at the end she's just starting to feel like she can open up and have some fun again. That's what was really good about Frozen Fever -- we could have fun with Elsa. And that personality... you will see in the next one." 

Buck also stated in one of his interviews that the upcoming sequel would tackle societal problems of today. Buck didn't specifically say which problems would be featured in the film and as such, his statement only strengthened persistent rumors claiming that the sequel would see Queen Elsa coming out as a lesbian.

"We have two very strong female leads in Frozen. We will keep that going in the next one. We will tackle other issues that, I think, are out there today that boys and girls, men and women, are dealing with. I think we're very aware of what is happening in society."

No official release date for the film has been announced. However 'Frozen 2' is scheduled to premiere sometime in 2018.
