However, there hasn’t been any official confirmation by Disney, nor have been teased by any of theFrozencrew. Yet, fans have castBarbiestar Margot Robbie in the lead role, Elsa, while Kristen Bell portrayed her resilient sister Anna in a fan trailer shared on social media. While Robbie may seem fit for playing the raging ice queen, there exists a better recommendation, an Academy Award-winning actress, for fitting into Anna’s shoes.

Not Kristen Bell, Anna fits perfectly for a Spider-Man actress
If you’re thinking Zendaya, Disney might have to race-swap the character. But going with the compelling rumors,Emma Stonewould best embody Anna’s essence. To think of it, Stone convincingly resembles Elsa’s daring yet graceful sister even in physical characteristics. With theCruellaactress’s versatile background, who also won two Golden Globes recently, Disney and fans cannot find a better real-life Anna than Stone.
Moreover, Robbie’s great bond with Stone weighs in on the great opportunity for the actresses to finally share a screen together. Another fan-made trailer that fueled the rumors ofFrozen’s live-action adaptation was shared byScreen Culture. Also made from scenes ofOnce Upon A Time,here Elizabeth Lail was presented as Anna while Robbie maintained her queen status.
