‘Frozen 3’ First Look Teases Anna’s Wedding, New Villain & More

The filled Honda Center tonight got a look at Frozen 3 and let’s just say, there is quite a lot in store.

First of all, are those wedding bells, we hear? Indeed, they are! Kristen Bell confirmed at Disney’s Entertainment Showcase Friday night that Anna will be marrying her “mountain man” Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) in the upcoming threequel, of course with her sister by her side.

Speaking of, Idina Menzel was also on hand to tease the world of Frozen has gotten “a little bit more mysterious” since audiences were last in Arendelle. In fact, the story will quickly take these characters very far from their home to face another threat.

Footage shown in the room featured Anna and Kristoff, on their wedding night, coming upon Elsa out on the dock studying a mysterious stone that appears to open a portal to a very snowy dimension, which Menzel called “a frozen land more wild and dangerous than anything Elsa has ever created.”

When they step through what appears to be some sort of portal, they’re quickly confronted by a new character…who clearly isn’t looking to make nice. Audiences in the room at the Honda Center didn’t get a glimpse at the new character’s face, but it appears to be a woman with short, black hair and a wicked cape.

The leading ladies debuted some new music from the film. And, it wouldn’t be Frozen without Olaf. Josh Gad joined Bell and Menzel on stage to sing about the snowman’s one true love, Samantha.

Two years ago at D23 Disney showed off some concept art for the threequel in the $2.76 billion grossing, 2x Oscar winning franchise.

Filmmaker Jennifer Lee said back then, “there were a lot of questions coming out of Frozen 2…it will take two films to answer them.”

The art was of Elsa and Anna separately on horses heading toward a white palace in a summery horizon. Olaf was on the back of Anna’s horse. Specifically, Elsa was riding the water spirit Nokk. A mysterious horned shadow figure appeared in the river behind them. The implication was that the duo were journeying behind Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest to a new mystical realm, heading toward a floating palace which many have interpreted as a place where we’ll learn more about Elsa’s powers.

Frozen 3 comes out on Nov. 24, 2027.

It’s the beginning of the end for the WandaVision trilogy.

Nearly two years after the series finale of Agatha All Along — and 5½ years after WandaVision ended — the Disney and Marvel released the first trailer for VisionQuest on Friday at D23 in Anaheim. Have a look above.

Paul Bettany stars as Vision, a former Avenger who was introduced in 2015’s Age of Ultron killed in the 2018 Infinity War film but was resurrected without emotions or memories.

Vision, rebooted and having escaped from those who sought to weaponize him, has been in hiding. Searching for new meaning, he consults the AI personas embedded in his programming, including F.R.I.D.A.Y., E.D.I.T.H., J.A.R.V.I.S., and the infamous Ultron. His discreet existence ends when a bounty placed on his head thrusts him on the run with Thomas Shepard, a mysterious boy who may be Vision’s son, reincarnate. As Vision evades capture, he must confront his nature, resist Ultron’s influence, and unravel the enigma that is his young companion if he’s to survive.

The VisionQuest also features James Spader as Ultron, Todd Stashwick as the morally ambiguous mercenary Paladin and Faran Tahir reprising his role of Raz from the MCU kickstarter pic Iron Man. The cast also includes Lauren Morais, Diane Morgan, Orla Brady, Diane Morgan, Polly Frame, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, with Emily Hampshire and James D’Arcy.

VisionQuest premieres October 14 on Disney+.

The series is a spin-off of Disney+ and Marvel Studios first series WandaVision. This was the first Marvel Studios series to hit the streamer and was not only a hit on the streamer but would go on to gain awards accolades that included a best limited series nomination. The series starred Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany reprising their roles as as Wanda Maximoff and Vision.

‘Star Wars: Starfighter’: Ryan Gosling Movie Gets First Look at D23

We finally have some more details about the Shawn Levy directed, Ryan Gosling starring Star Wars: Starfighter movie after a first look was unveiled tonight at Disney’s D23 fan confab.

Previous details revealed that the movie was set a brand new galaxy in the Star Wars canon, free of Skywalker family plot-lines. The Jonathan Tropper penned screenplay is set at the future most point in the Star Wars timeline.

What we learned tonight is that Gosling plays a pilot Kade, a guy who has the swagger of his Drive persona, Driver. The footage begins with Flynn Gray’s young man walking into a rusty spaceship garage. He uncovers a spaceship (almost looks like a speeder). Gosling’s Kade enters and says, “Didn’t I tell you not to touch anything?”

The kid asks what it is. “It’s a decommissioned G17,” says Kade, “the fastest straighter ever built.”

While none of the characters we know from the Star Wars films, there’s a lot of touchstones, i.e. speeder bikes (zooming across swamps), big imperial looking starships and, remember the bridge that Luke Skywalker and Leia swing over? That bridge makes a cameo. As we knew from the first photo, the new Star Wars takes place on a sea-filled planet.

Star Wars: Starfighter comes out next Memorial Day weekend, May 28. Levy said it was the same date that the original Star Wars was released 50 years ago. After Lucasfilm deep-sixed with the lowest grossing live-action Star Wars movie this past summer in the $165M costing (before P&A), Star Wars: Mandalorian and Grogu, which bottomed out at $345M WW,the new hope is that Skyfighter will revive the franchise, thanks to the affable Gosling and Levy, the latter who delivered the highest grossing R-rated movie ever in Deadpool & Wolverine which made $1.33 billion.

Before showing any footage of Starfighter, Levy showed footage of young Gosling from Mickey Mouse Club. Gosling was also on stage tonight, wowing fans.

‘Star Wars: Ahsoka’ Season 2 Trailer: Disney+ Series Back After Nearly 3 Years

It’s been quite a while since viewers were immersed in the Disney+ Star Wars series Ahsoka, going on three years, actually. New episodes won’t arrive until 2027, but the first trailer premiered Friday at D23 in Anaheim. Check out the clip and new poster below, along with a first-look photo above.

Season 2 continues the story of Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) and her extraordinary journey beyond the known galaxy. As Ahsoka and her Jedi apprentice Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) travel across a mysterious and perilous world to find their way home, their friends must face the powerful Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) and his sinister allies, who seek to plunge the New Republic into war.

The cast also includes Rory McCann as evil former Jedi Baylan Skoll (taking over for the late Ray Stevenson, who played the character in Season 1) and Hayden Christensen returns as Anakin Skywalker — a role he played is the Star Wars prequels and TV series Obi-Wan Kenobi — along with Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Eman Esfandi and Ivanna Sakhno.

Ahsoka won a 2024 Emmy for Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes and had four other nominations in crafts categories.

The Season 1 finale, which aired way back in October 2023, saw Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) make the jump to hyperspace via a space loop, where Ezra (Eman Esfandi) stowed away, while Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) and Sabine (Natasha Liu) were marooned in the green tundra tumbleweeds of Peridea in a galaxy far, far away. Thrawn’s m.o. is to reassemble the Empire aka “The Thrawn campaign,” which was a series of military and political maneuvers by the blue man to restore the Empire and implode the New Republic.

Dave Filoni created and writes the series, which returns for Season 2 early next year on Disney+.
