Furiosastar Anya Taylor-Joy may be ditching fire and action for theDisneyfairytale as she reveals she wants to play Ice Queen Elsa in a possible live-actionFrozenmovie for the sweetest reason.
“I think Frozen would be pretty great,” said Taylor Joy in an interview withVogue Hong Kong, when asked about her dreamDisneyrole. “It would be very fun to shoot ice out of your hand. Also, you’d just be the favorite at every kid’s birthday party.”
But, aside from the cool icy powers, the star had the most wholesome reason for choosing that role. “All of my siblings have children now, so I would love for them to be able to say ‘my auntie is Elsa,'” added The Queen’s Gambit actor. “That would be pretty sick.”
It looks like this hasn’t deterred her from another Disney movie, or even a musical for that matter, as she added, “I would love to do a musical because I’m a bit addicted to hard work. The idea of having to be able to sing, dance, and act at the same time would just really thrill me.”
Next up for Taylor-Joy,the star is heading back to Netflixfour years after the success of The Queens Gambit to lead the dark comedy series How to Kill Your Family. Based on the best-selling novel saga by Bella Mackie, the eight-part series will follow Taylor-Joy as disgruntled lovechild Grace as she plots revenge against her runaway rich dad and his family.
