History WMG / FrozenII

* A scene in the FinalBattle may involve the king giving the usual DisappointedInYou tirade to Hans, to which Hans has had enough, CallsTheOldManOut for his atrocities and tells him that he doesn't deserve the respect. The king tries OffingTheOffspring for this, but Hans retaliates and gives him a severe NoHoldsBarredBeatdown for his abuses. Hans could also tell the king that his adventures with Elsa and company made him realize that his family's harsh methods of ruling -- lying on a whim, beating up and tormenting people, abusing the power of authority -- was morally wrong from the beginning ''and'' that his [[ProtagonistJourneyToVillain journey to earn their respect was self-destructive.]] Mocking his youngest son for his reluctance in killing people, the king [[StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred goads Hans into]] [[FinishHim finishing him off for good.]] Hans then contemplates offing his father, but stops when someone, perhaps Lars or Elsa, tells him that he is NotWorthKilling. They also tell him the king is NotWorthKilling and [[IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim that while the king has it coming, killing him would make Hans the ideal son his father always wanted]], and so, Hans simply backs out of this. Hans' other eleven brothers try to attack him for this, but Lars stops them and tells that their father is the one responsible for turning them into his own henchmen, and that he truly doesn't care for them. King Westergaard confirms this, causing the other eleven sons to have a HeelRealization, and as a result, they all immediately defect en masse from him.

* Also in the first trailer, Anna glares at Elsa at one point, and also, most significantly, she takes Kristoff's sword and swipes it at the camera, perhaps at someone behind them. Maybe there won't be a real villain, but a rather turbulent side of Anna could give her the role of being a ConflictBall.

Though Frozen director Chris Buck has "confirmed" that Anna and Elsa's parents are Tarzan's parents too, this is just his agreement to such a theory because he directed both films. However, the idea that they did not die at sea (or die at all) would be rather intriguing.

%% Can you please provide a link to Chris Buck approving of that theory about Tarzan and the sisters sharing parents? Thank you.

* These characters could possibly be related to Kristoff, or Elsa and Anna. Maybe they could just be two [[HeroicBystander HeroicBystanders]] who help the sisters find their parents, or help the group to save people in danger of a natural disaster nearby.

* These characters could possibly be related to Kristoff, or Elsa and Anna. Maybe they could just be two HeroicBystanders who help the sisters find their parents, or help the group to save people in danger of a natural disaster nearby.

Regardless of who they are, the new characters will enjoy ADayInTheLimelight in the fourth installment of the famed '' Frozen '' franchise,

* Hans' backstory from ''Literature/AFrozenHeart'', showing how abusive his brothers were and how neglectful and unfeeling his father is, possibly through his good brother Lars. This causes Elsa to have a slight MyGodWhatHaveIDone when she realizes she sent Hans to a FateWorseThanDeath. It's not enough to forgive him, but she realizes why he's such a messed up person and consider helping him reform. Should this happen, the sequel can add the popular theory on [[spoiler: Elsa knowing Hans was about to kill her]], admitting she felt she deserved her fate and that's why she didn't react until Anna stepped in. Should this happen, it will cause Hans to start his HeelRealization.
* At least one or two foreign versions of the poster also had a subtitle that translated as "Secrets of Arendelle".

The sequel may feature the discovery of other people with magic powers like Elsa. These magic-wielding people live in some sort of secret, isolated society until their existence is made known to the sisters, and they decide to visit them, maybe because they are asking for Elsa’s help, or maybe just so that Elsa can meet people with magic like herself. These people will live far up north near a volcano (because at D23 2017, a video showed the research team taking a trip to Lapland and to Iceland inside a volcano. There may be lots more focus on the four seasons and elements in Frozen II.

* In the Broadway show, there were characters called the Hidden Folk who took the place of the trolls. They may make a return in the sequel.

Anna - Sunshine, Red-rage,Fiery \\
Elsa - Elsie, Queen Icy, Snowflake\\

Hans - Sideburns, Prince Prick, Green Eyes, Green Envy\\

** It's no secret the AlternateCharacterInterpretation of Elsa's orientation is very popular. As a joke, Anna, [[TheMatchmaker who wants her sister to meet somebody]], notes Elsa hasn't met a man who interests her. Elsa quickly responds "Whoa! Just because I haven't shown that sort of interest doesn't mean I don't like people! I'd much rather look after everyone in need of help." If she gets a love interest, she still won't want to engage in a romance, and this person will respect her wishes and just take things slow with her so that they aren't an OfficialCouple.

In the trailer, the fire circle that surrounds Elsa and Olaf looks pretty similar to a heart. A guess is that this will be part of a musical sequence, where Elsa will deny any romantic love aimed at her , perhaps someone she just met because it would be a good call back to how she says you can't love someone you just met.

* The girl becomes a close ally to the group.

That's why Anna was so quick to pull out a sword. It would likely that there was someone she registered as a threat.

The full-length sequel of ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' is currently underway; it will premiere on 22nd November 2019. Many of the original cast from the 2013 film will return, and new songs will be featured. Some new characters have been added, and an extra screenwriter is involved in the project. Although plot details have not been disclosed, this WMG page builds on some fan ideas and theories.

[[WMG: Many revelations of Elsa and Anna will occur.]]

It has been stated that the plot of 'Frozen 2' "will be bigger and more epic than the first one". Elsa and Anna will most likely stay as the major characters in the film. Whatever journeys the sisters will take, whether together or apart, will inspire many viewers. Their stories will be more relatable, becoming major highlights in the world of animated films and beyond.

[[WMG: The shorts are foreshadowing what will happen in Frozen 2]]

* In Frozen Fever, Anna says to Elsa that her "best birthday present ever" was "you letting me take care of you". This could be a hint that Anna will be noticeably more caregiving in Frozen 2. However, it could also hint at her becoming very bossy towards Elsa in particular. Maybe there won't be a real villain, but a rather turbulent side of Anna could be shown at some point.

* Anna and Kristoff: Pink/Magenta/Dark Purple for Anna - not just because of PrincessesPreferPink, but so some sort of green can be Kristoff's colour instead. Also, pink and green are colours commonly associated with Spring; new life. This could represent some sort of GirlinessUpgrade for Anna. If this occurs to a greater extent (surpassing Elsa's graceful nature) then Anna will experience {{Chickification}}.

** A darker purple for Anna suggests that she is hiding her previous cheery persona.
* Elsa: Ligher Blue or Lighter Purple will make up most of Elsa's new clothes. Her new hairstyle will be kept as a surprise (unlike Anna). Elsa may also wear a pair of trousers to go on an adventure with!

* Gloves: Gloves will be featured as an allegory for the suppression of one's true self again. While his gloves were pristine white in the first film, Hans will wear either his now dirty pair or black leather ones this time to symbolize the losing battle of hiding his corrupted, damaged side after his crimes in Arendelle. He only bothers to keep wearing gloves to have some semblance of refinement and to hide the scars on his hands. To show he does feel some guilt for giving into his dark side, Hans begins to pull one off early in the film, but sees his scars and decides he must hide still. Near the middle of the story, his gloves start to tear up, showing he's losing this image he's built up. When he [[HeelRealization finally breaks]], the gloves will come off and stay off for the remainder of the film. Now with his bare hands free, Elsa will notice his scars and question what happened, even at one point brushing her own bare hands on his scars. Since this is a kid-friendly film, Hans will not plainly admit to committing SelfHarm, only imply it by saying, "I'm used to pain." Later, thinking the sisters are a threat to him now, the king offers Hans a chance to be forgiven and be first in line for the throne if he agrees [[WeCanRuleTogether to side with him.]] Hans does briefly consider it, but seeing his scarred hands and remembering Elsa's concern for him, reaffirms his decision to cut ties with his father and [[CallingTheOldManOut finally have the courage to call him out]]. The King of the Southern Isles could wear red gloves to symbolize the metaphorical blood on his hands. Unlike Elsa or Hans, his facade is merely skin deep because he doesn't hide that he's an unpleasant and ruthless monster, only ''how much'' he can ''and'' will be. When the gloves come off, he is figuratively and literally prepared to get his hands dirty.

We have little idea of the real plot of Frozen 2, but it is known that the sequel will NOT be called Frozen 2. Here are some ideas for the film's name (remember these are just for fun!):

** Jossed. It's call Frozen 2. However it might have a second title so there's still a possibility.

* Maybe a kind sorcerer came to bless couples to have children with a special power. Elsa's story may have been that her parents Agnarr and Iduna went to the sorcerer, and spoke about the icy weather of 1816 (which is a REAL occurrence, known as the year without summer). They found an unusual beauty in the cold weather, so their first child (Elsa) would have been born in 1817 with icy magic. Their next child (Anna) would have much less noticeable powers.

Given the popularity of the film, the two shorts, the books and the line of merchandise, the sequel will be a chance to explore more set afterwards. Even a potential animated series and a chance to develop characters the first film and the potential sequel don't focus on.

* A sci-fi theme - Perhaps we will see the characters in the present day (Frozen is supposed to be set in 1840s Norway). They would be fossils by now if they were real (and literally frozen), but they would more likely have appeared as spirits or even time-traveled.

Disney attempted such films in the 2000s but none of them did very well. A Frozen sequel is going to make a lot of money regardless, so it would be a low risk way to experiment with something new.

** It's no secret the AlternateCharacterInterpretation of Elsa's orientation is very popular. As a joke, Anna, [[TheMatchmaker who wants her sister to meet somebody]], notes Elsa hasn't met a man who interests her. Elsa quickly responds "Whoa! Just because I haven't shown that sort of interest doesn't mean I don't have it! It's just that I don't want to get into such a relationship right now." If she gets a love interest, she still won't want to engage in a romance, and this person will respect her wishes and just take things slow with her so that they aren't an OfficialCouple.

[[WMG:Elsa was trying to use her powers against the ocean because...]]
* She's training herself.
* She's stranded on an island and is trying to escape.
* She's trying to prove to herself that she could have saved their parents from dying in the shipwreck if she was there and had mastered control over her powers.

In the trailer, the fire circle that surrounds Elsa and Olaf looks pretty similar to a heart. My guess is that this is part of a musical sequence, where Elsa will try and deny having feelings for someone, perhaps someone she just met because it would be a good call back to how she says you can't love someone you just met.
** While possible, it might be inverted. It might possibly be a StalkerWithACrush. Perhaps the villain/villainess might be hoping to attract Elsa who rejecteds her/him in return.

[[folder:King Agnarr and Queen Iduna]]

[[WMG: We will learn more about King Agnarr and Queen Iduna and what actually happened on their trip.]]

About 5 years since leaving, they will both return to Arendelle, thanking and/or blessing the family they spent those years with. The young lady becomes a close penpal of Elsa and Anna.

* Perhaps Anna has planned her wedding to Kristoff... now her parents are last-minute guests!
* Can you please provide a link to Chris Buck approving of that theory about Tarzan and the sisters sharing parents? Thank you.

* King Agdar may also return, but not as a major character. He regrets his decision to isolate Elsa and Anna, and he will co-operate with the other characters as a redemption.
* Iduna has characteristics that link more closely to Elsa than Anna.
* Despite a submissive nature, Iduna genuinely cares about the wider community, and she is also good at subtly encouraging Elsa to free her magic one day.

Despite what a freaking awesome villain he is, we'll never see him again because he's just too DARK to come back. If there's a sequel we'll have to deal with a crappy villain like the Duke. And even if Hans does return, it won't be as somebody interesting; just a cackling maniac because the cat's out of the bag and he won't be able to pull off the hoax again.

[[WMG:Hans and his family ''won't'' be in this movie, or at least as a major role.]]
''Frozen'' is the story of Anna and Elsa. As far as Anna and Elsa and co. are concerned, Hans was an asshole and they want nothing else to do with him, and they're not obligated to help him either when he could have explained his situation instead of manipulate them, which is a case of SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped. Hans's story is a case of HeroOfAnotherStory with a tragic ending and the cast of ''Frozen'' has already played their part.

Olaf! Elsa and Kristoff don't know him, and, although Anna is an [[AllLovingHero All Loving Heroine]], she was personally hurt by Hans and will have trouble accepting that he's more than a villain. Olaf, however, will want to learn Hans' side of the story and make friends with the prince, because that's just who he is. The snowman's kindness to the enemy will be what inspires the others to give Hans a chance.

Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Sven and Olaf will go to the capital city, which looks like a mix of Denmark, Imperial Germany, Britain and the United States in the 19th century. Just imagine these [[CountryMouse country kids]]' reaction to a huge, bustling metropolis! They would be impressed at the architecture and be awed by how Hans' home is far more prosperous and technologically advanced than either Arendelle or all the kingdoms they've visited so far ([[SchrodingersCanon which may include]] those mentioned in ''Literature/AFrozenHeart'', the comics, or the ''Literature/AnnaAndElsa'' books), and [[GoodCannotComprehendEvil wonder]] why Hans would want to seize control of another kingdom when his homeland is extravagantly wealthy and luxurious. They'll think that his people and family are [[StepfordSmiler warm and friendly]] despite what he did, combined with the locals wanting to show that they're not like the idiotic fool who sullied their kingdom's name. While visiting the Isles, they'd be impressed by Hans' BigFancyCastle, as from a distance, it looked like a giant, black SeaMonster that somehow flourishes in the harsh environment (although they would feel a bit scared by its structure and compare it to their BrightCastle or Elsa's IcePalace). As far as Hans' family is concerned, they'll put up a good appearance to show that they're not like Hans (although Elsa and co. would feel a bit nervous of his father's intimidating appearance). Perhaps Anna might take an interest in one of his 12 older brothers (presumably Caleb, Rudi, Runo or Lars), leading Kristoff to feel a bit jealous about this. It's also possible that Anna, Elsa, Olaf and Kristoff will be given Hans' bedroom for temporary lodgings, as a way to rub it in Hans' face, while Sven stays at the royal stables.

*** He could also call Elsa [[FantasticRacism a witch]] who is unfit to rule a kingdom, relating to the popular theory that Arendelle is still secretly feared and despised by its trade partners and neighbors for having a sorceress as its queen, and that people like King Westergaard still hold prejudiced and contemptuous opinions of magic users like Elsa.

** King Westergaard could also be Adgar's {{Foil}} and ShadowArchetype, in that while both are kings, Westergaard represents what Adgar could have been if he did not exercise restraint in his power of authority: an abusive father who ill-treats his sons, a wife-basher who neglects his spouse and sees her as a baby-producing object, and a ruthless man who rules his kingdom through fear. While both are responsible for children developing mental health issues, Adgar only wanted to keep Elsa and Anna safe, but Hans' father is unfeeling towards his sons.

That's why Anna was so quick to pull out a sword. It would have to be someone she registers as a threat.

The sequel is going to be about the discovery of other people with magic powers like Elsa. These magic-wielding people live in some sort of secret, isolated society until their existence is made known to the sisters, and they decide to visit them, maybe because they are asking for Elsa’s help, or maybe just so that Elsa can meet people who are like her. These people will live far up north near a volcano (because at D23 2017, a video showed the research team taking a trip to Lapland and to Iceland inside a volcano). The villain will be a magic-wielding man of some sort, and the climax will be a battle of the elements between Elsa and the villain.
* In the Broadway show, there were characters called the Hidden People who took the place of the trolls. They may make a return in the sequel.

[[WMG: John De Lancie will play a role in the film]]

Anna - Sunshine, Red, Red-rage, Princess Smiles\\
Elsa - Blondie, Elsie, Queen Icy, Snowflake\\

Hans - Sideburns, Prince Prick, Prince Jerkface, Green Eyes, Green Envy\\

[[WMG: There will be a female Villain and she will be based on Elsa's original character and design.]]

Guesses have abounded. Elsa's love interest? She seems too young. Queen Iduna in a flashback? Iduna had light skin, blue eyes and straight brown hair. This girl appears to be AmbiguouslyBrown with curly hair and dark eyes. The new girl is probably an entirely new character. Perhaps someone with powers. Perhaps someone our heroes want to help. The blond boy could be the son of Kristoff and Anna. (Blond father, blond maternal grandfather, there's a 50/50 chance their kid could be blond.)
* Kristoff's MissingMom when she was a kid.
* Possibly a TomboyPrincess. Even though she dresses very simply, she wears a purple belt. GracefulLadiesLikePurple.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Sven]]

[[WMG: Sven might become anthropomorphised - being able to talk!]]

Sven the reindeer is the underrated animal companion of Kristoff. He is rather clever, for an animal. Elsa and Anna seem to understand the messages given by Sven in a clearer way than Kristoff does, as shown in Olaf's Frozen Adventure [[spoiler: when Olaf gets attacked by wolves, and Sven rushes back to the others and tries to represent the idea that Olaf needs to be found.]]
* Maybe, any other character apart from Kristoff will speak to Sven, and he really replies to them in human speech. However, this needs to be kept as a secret from Kristoff, because he would feel very upset that Sven never genuinely spoke to him before.
* We could learn a lot more about Kristoff and Sven's past life if this happened to Sven.

* Hans' backstory, showing how abusive his brothers were and how neglectful and unfeeling his father is, possibly through his good brother Lars. This causes Elsa to have a slight MyGodWhatHaveIDone when she realizes she sent Hans to a FateWorseThanDeath. It's not enough to forgive him, but she realizes why he's such a messed up person and consider helping him reform. Should this happen, the sequel can add the popular theory on [[spoiler: Elsa knowing Hans was about to kill her]], admitting she felt she deserved her fate and that's why she didn't react until Anna stepped in. Should this happen, it will cause Hans to start his HeelRealization.

* In Frozen Broadway, there were characters called the Hidden People who took the place of the trolls. They may make a return in the sequel.

John appears as a minor character in Olaf's Frozen Adventure, which seems a little out of place for the actor who has played Q from ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' and Discord from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. Perhaps he's being teased to play a role in ''Frozen 2''. Here's a list of characters he could play.

* Alternatively, Elsa and Hans grow closer, but in a platonic way. The others presume that there is a budding romance between them. Yet Elsa and Hans have simply opened up to the world and love everyone in their lives.

Agape, unconditional love: Anna's natural [[AllLovingHero sense of compassion for others]] is tested when she is forced to see Hans in his home country. Seeing him a pathetic and possibly unstable mess, while his father and brothers are needlessly callous and more concerned by how Hans' actions make them look than for Anna and Elsa, creates a conflict of emotions she has never felt before. On one hand, she hates him for manipulating her, leaving her to die and almost murdering her sister. On the other hand, it turns out his family is far worse than he let her believe and his father may, in fact, be [[HateSink the true evil]] she previously thought Hans to be. This causes our heroes to question how they should react at the inhumane standards he's been living in, and feel a degree of responsibility for sending Hans into them. Ultimately, Anna accepts she just can't hate Hans anymore after what she's learned about him.

Storge, family love: Anna and Elsa's bond becomes strained, but ultimately through new experiences, the fights are put into perspective, and Elsa finally forgives herself for the past. Meanwhile, Hans realizes his mother and brother Lars were indeed the only good things in his life, despite their love was forcibly limited due to his father's influence, and his desire for familial love from [[TheSociopath an unfeeling monster]] was a fool's errand. Although his mother will probably be dead, Hans, learning from the sisters, is able to start over with Lars again and the two work together to help make the Southern Isles into a better place after their father's downfall.

Philia, friendship: Hans develops a begrudging friendship with Olaf as they're forced to spend time together. This friendship becomes a positive influence whenever Hans has some doubts about his finding any redemption. Hans also has his animal companion, either Sitron or the suggested "Gorm" character, who acts as a confidant while being the levelheaded one when Hans begins to second guess his actions and show signs of hysteria. Elsa meanwhile acts as a confidant to Kristoff when it looks like his relationship with Anna is on the rocks.

Eros, romance: Anna and Kristoff's romance is showing signs of falling apart, likely due to an argument with Elsa putting Anna in a sour mood. They attempt to mend their relationship, only for their attempts to show they have no idea what the problem is. An unlikely source convinces them they need to put everything aside and talk, which ends up reaffirming their love for each other. The Duke of Weselton will mention having a romantic relationship that was interrupted at some point. It might end up being his FreudianExcuse that reveals why he's greedy and hates magic, and bonus points if the King of the Southern Isles played a hand in it. Hans, because compassion of any kind is foreign to him, becomes rather clumsy, awkward and unsure when he's around Elsa to the point he CannotSpitItOut. A suspicious Anna, thinking he's planning on seducing Elsa, unintentionally makes him realize he's attracted to her. At first, [[ShesNotMyGirlfriend he denies this]] and tries to avoid being alone with her, but everyone, [[ObliviousToLove save for Elsa]], realizes he wouldn't be trying to distance himself from her unless there was no ulterior motive. His animal companion and Olaf [[ShipperOnDeck see this as something positive for the two of them]], but Anna [[ShippingTorpedo discourages it]] out of concern for Elsa. However, she changes her mind on this after Hans does a genuinely selfless good deed and realizes her sister [[LoveRedeems is a positive influence on him]] and could end up being right for her. Elsa herself is conflicted on the idea of romance in general, but at the end of the movie, she has developed requited feelings for Hans after forgiving him.

Familial Love: Of course this will be of high importance throughout the Frozen franchise! The relationship between Elsa and Anna becomes stronger, and they learn to live as a family with Olaf, Kristoff and Sven, and the whole of Arendelle. They even go beyond their hometown. Also, they will mention their life with their parents, and the help that Kai and Gerda (the two servants) provided them with. The idea of family will stay at the heart of the film.

Hero/Villain: The word that best describes how the people of Arendelle see Hans is the villain, who wanted to be seen as the hero. The King of the Southern Isles, the actual villain, scoffs at such words, saying that they're [[WhatIsEvil invented by those who lack ambition and skill to get what they want]]. Later, after his HeelRealization, the first thing Hans says that convinces Elsa something is different about him is that he doesn't want to be the villain of her story anymore.

Second Chance: Hans seeks a second chance from his father before realizing his father had no desire for his son to succeed, only to die in a way so that no one would think he was murdered by his father. Meanwhile, the Duke of Weselton wants a second chance from the sisters for the sole purpose of getting his country's approval, only for things to get worse for him and to put them in more danger. Seeing him a [[DespairEventHorizon broken mess]], Elsa gives Hans a chance to turn his life around and, not seeing any alternative, Hans takes her offer. Learning more about the Duke, Anna takes pity on him and convinces him to turn over a new leaf. Both of them manage to earn forgiveness. At the end, the princes who were most loyal to their father ask Hans if he can give them a second chance. He questions if they're really sorry or just trying to avoid a worse punishment, but admits he'll at least think about it. One character will comment that while few people can get a second chance, fewer manage to earn a third.

Strained Relationships: Hans and Lars are strained and the two have barely spoken after what occurred in Arendelle. It's clear Hans regrets his actions, [[VillainousBSOD but he's too full of anger with himself]] [[NeverMyFault that he directs it to the sisters]], while Lars does want to help his little brother but can't see how in their positions. Meanwhile, Anna and Elsa go into a conflict that spirals out of control because Elsa is afraid they will lose their close bond because of her. When she sees Elsa and Hans bonding, Anna is uncomfortable with it and assumes something more sinister is going on, further damaging the conflict with her sister. Also, Anna and Kristoff's relationship starts to lose its spark, and trying to fix what they individually think is the problem rather than communicate only causes more misunderstanding. Ultimately, only by learning from and working with each other, do all parties find a way to reconcile.

Mirrors: Since Hans was based on the mirror from ''The Snow Queen'', his father may very well represent the Devil/Evil spirit/Troll who made it. He has moulded his sons into reflections of himself, not for their benefit, but to fuel his ego. After Hans goes through Hell, he realizes this mindset and behaviour is flawed. In important scenes, we see him and the other characters expressing what is truly in their hearts as reflections when alone. Near the end, after going through some self-reflection, he decides to adopt this idea instead, mirroring people so that they'd see what they're doing is wrong and fix it.

Gloves: Gloves will be featured as an allegory for the suppression of one's true self again. While his gloves were pristine white in the first film, Hans will wear either his now dirty pair or black leather ones this time to symbolize the losing battle of hiding his corrupted, damaged side after his crimes in Arendelle. He only bothers to keep wearing gloves to have some semblance of refinement and to hide the scars on his hands. To show he does feel some guilt for giving into his dark side, Hans begins to pull one off early in the film, but sees his scars and decides he must hide still. Near the middle of the story, his gloves start to tear up, showing he's losing this image he's built up. When he [[HeelRealization finally breaks]], the gloves will come off and stay off for the remainder of the film. Now with his bare hands free, Elsa will notice his scars and question what happened, even at one point brushing her own bare hands on his scars. Since this is a kid-friendly film, Hans will not plainly admit to committing SelfHarm, only imply it by saying, "I'm used to pain." Later, thinking the sisters are a threat to him now, the king offers Hans a chance to be forgiven and be first in line for the throne if he agrees [[WeCanRuleTogether to side with him.]] Hans does briefly consider it, but seeing his scarred hands and remembering Elsa's concern for him, reaffirms his decision to cut ties with his father and [[CallingTheOldManOut finally have the courage to call him out]]. The King of the Southern Isles could wear red gloves to symbolize the metaphorical blood on his hands. Unlike Elsa or Hans, his facade is merely skin deep because he doesn't hide that he's an unpleasant and ruthless monster, only ''how much'' he can ''and'' will be. When the gloves come off, he is figuratively and literally prepared to get his hands dirty.

Repercussions: The events of the first film [[HappyEndingOverride inadvertently cause problems for the main characters now]]. By ending all business with Weselton, people in Arendelle who depend on their products and have family living there will be angry at this decision. When outside kingdoms learn that Anna and Elsa sent Hans back to the Southern Isles, they are furious because of how hostile [[TheDreaded King Westergaard]] is and how the Southern Isles is a horrible place, causing all of them to end all business with Arendelle and decree they want nothing to do with people who anger the king, presumably because one of his 12 older sons married off their daughters, as the Isles could use it as a bargaining chip to secure better trade deals. Meanwhile, the sisters get into an argument that goes out of control, but when they try to patch up things, it only makes the situation worse, while a separate argument between Anna and Kristoff is brewing. The Duke himself has lost both his important status and respect of his people for his actions, so his only interest at first is to do good to restore his status, but it only ends up making things worse for him. Hans has, of course, been reduced to slave labour for what he did. However, the king cares not for what almost happened to the sisters, only that Hans got caught and embarrassed the Westergaards, forcing to Hans to think he must find a new way to redeem himself to his father. His attempt at this gets him in more trouble with the sisters and his father flat out admits [[TheSociopath he never cared for any of his sons, only that they make him a more powerful king]]. Going through a massive HeelRealization, Hans accepts he's done awful things and, until convinced otherwise, [[DespairEventHorizon essentially gives up on life]]. Any and all good decisions they make only make things worse, such as attempting to help Hans overcome his issues with his family and convincing him to seek redemption, which causes a sense of mistrust. While [[EarnYourHappyEnding everyone manages to overcome their problems]], they all realize even good intentions can lead to problems unless they think things through.

[[WellDoneSonGuy Parents' Approval]]: Hans' actions are drawn from his hopeless desire to be his father's favorite son [[HiddenDepths before secretly admitting that deep down, he always knew the king will only ever see his children as henchmen and a fan club]], but believed he'd be the first to truly earn his respect because of how bad he wanted it. He admits that all he ever cared for was his father's love and respect, but now realizes [[BrokenPedestal he's an unfeeling tyrant who needs to be dethroned]], so he rebels. Meanwhile, Elsa still appears to have some fear of not living up to her own father's legacy. In fact, a problem she may encounter is people calling out sending Hans back to a country she knew nothing about and severing connections with Weselton, comparing her negatively to her father. After having witnessed Hans' bad experience with his own father, Elsa realizes that she cannot be exactly like her father and that isn't a bad thing. If the Brotherhood of the Isles is introduced, they might be a {{Foil}} to the trolls: while the trolls are a hidden race of non-humans who are friendly and helpful to Arendelle's royal family, the Brotherhood is a group of well-known humans who aid people in secret yet have no loyalty to the current king and wish for someone nicer to replace him. The leader of the Brotherhood might become a sort of mentor/fairy godparent/ParentalSubstitute for Hans, aiding him on a possible RedemptionQuest and helping fill his lonely life with the guidance and mentorship he never got from his father or brothers. Over time, they guide and teach him how to stand on his own feet, have fun and enjoy life, and accept that he doesn't have to rely on his abusive family anymore.

{{Forgiveness}}: A major recurring theme in several fan-made stories involving Hans, though his actions at first clearly show he doesn't care about anyone forgiving him other than his father. Then his father tries to kill him and [[ItsAllAboutMe admits point-blank he cares for no one, not even his own wife]], ''[[ItsAllAboutMe or his thirteen sons]]''. Hans goes into self-exile, deciding he can't forgive himself for anything he's done or feel he has any right to be forgiven until Elsa convinces him otherwise. His adventure helps him rediscover the more peaceful person he used to be and be willing to go through lengths to be forgiven by the sisters. Elsa even asks him why he cares about being forgiven now when he didn't before, he responds it's because [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe she showed him sympathy in spite of his crimes]]. Meanwhile, the Duke of Weselton is involved with helping the sisters go to the Southern Isles on the condition that they restore business so that he'd get his status back home restored. Like how he was a {{Foil}} to Hans in the film, he's one here again; he fakes wanting to be a good person for his own benefit, realizes when he has no other choice what he's done is wrong and turns over a new leaf for real, except Hans spends a majority of his time helping Elsa while the Duke spends his time aiding Anna and Kristoff. Elsa herself is still haunted by the night she struck Anna with her magic, coupled with some lingering belief it's her fault her parents died, but her experience with Hans helps her see she must learn to forgive herself. Ultimately, all the characters from the first film are able to make their peace and help each other out, even if it means going against King Westergaard, the only character no one wants to forgive after [[RedemptionRejection he ultimately makes it clear he has no desire to stop his evil ways]].

[[HiddenDepths No one is just one thing]]: To make the forgiveness theme stronger, the film will have AnAesop of "We all have layers and it is unfair to reduce anyone to a label." Hans and the Duke of Weselton are shown to be more than mere villains of the sisters' story and therefore worthy of forgiveness for their transgressions, while Elsa overcomes the simplified impressions people have of her as an idealized pillar or a dangerous monster, allowing them to see her as she wishes to be seen: a human being with a flashy quirk.

[[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe Kindness brings out the best in people]]: To counter the king's evil, the sisters show sympathy or kindness to the people who wronged them in the past when they learn more about them and how they came to be. The Duke of Weselton gets kindness from Anna when it becomes clear he has no means to fixing his status back home, while Elsa shows sympathy to Hans after he [[DespairEventHorizon breaks down from guilt and the realization his father wants him dead]]. It causes both of them to turn over a new leaf.

Inability to comprehend [[EvilCannotComprehendGood good]] and [[GoodCannotComprehendEvil evil]]: This will run on both sides.
* When Anna, Kristoff, Olaf, and Elsa decide to visit the Southern Isles, they'll be confused as to why Hans wanted to seize control of Arendelle and assume he's an evil jerk who got his just desserts, but they don't know that he's a severe victim of neglect and abuse who did it out of a desperation to win his heartless father's love at all costs. Plus, they will have a hard time comprehending the general cynicism surrounding the kingdom, as it's a [[CrapsaccharineWorld crapsaccharine]] {{dystopia}} with corrupt and/or decadent royals, general hatred of what the King does on a daily basis, and an incredibly harsh justice system. They would also be utterly baffled at the [[RoyallyScrewedUp ruling family's dynamics]], as the Westergaards exaggerate the DysfunctionalFamily trope UpToEleven. Also, to rationalize the king's temperament, they'll assume he has a FreudianExcuse, only to slowly realize he has none or that he just gave a lousy reason to justify his tyranny over everyone else.
* Likewise, Hans and his brothers might have trouble understanding altruism at first. If Hans unwittingly falls into a trap set up by his father [[BigDamnHeroes only to be]] [[SaveTheVillain saved by the gang,]] he might question them as to why they chose to save him despite their mutual animosity. It's going to take an adventure for him to realize that not all hope is lost and that he wasted his life on pleasing an unfeeling sociopath. Except for Lars, who is the TokenGoodTeammate of the Westergaards, the other 11 sons, who are sycophantic flunkies for the king, might encounter this problem at some point, making them wonder if their father really cared for them or if he ''actually'' used them for selfish reasons, and because of this, they immediately betray him, but the king will question why they're supporting Hans, Lars, and the Arendellers. Hans gives him a WorldOfCardboardSpeech, telling how the sisters and their friends have helped him and his brothers see that they don't have to be the sons their father wanted to make his life better and that they like them better after they chose to [[HeelFaceTurn abandon their father's]] SocialDarwinist mindset. The king, being the {{sociopath}}ic EvilOverlord dictator that he is, thinks kindness to be a waste, and would ridicule the Arendellers for following such principles. He'll mock Kristoff's humility, and believes he and Anna are a doomed romance, but they come out stronger after overcoming their issues. Likewise, he'll also assume the same thing with Hans and Elsa, as he'll think Hans will help Elsa out of fear of her or for protection, but Hans actually listens to her since unlike his father, [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe she was unconditionally good to him]] and sympathizes with his past despite not being ready to forgive him. In the climax, he'll assume his sons are weak and will come back to serve him, but having realized their mother was indeed the only good thing in their life, the sons instead [[CallingTheOldManOut state he doesn't deserve to be their father anymore.]]

WhatIsEvil: The King of the Southern Isles' MO is DespotismJustifiesTheMeans, meaning that he doesn't care if he's a greedy dictator, as long as he stays in power. He also cares not what his sons do, only that they make him a more powerful king. If Elsa, Anna, Olaf, and Kristoff call him out on his evil, the King [[ShutUpKirk could fire back]], stating that words such as "good" and "evil" are subjective terms invented by those who lack the ambition and skill to get what they want no matter the cost, cowards get crushed easily, and that the only thing that matters is seizing power in what he thinks is a dog-eat-dog world.

Kristen Bell, who is Anna's voice actress, stated in an interview that Anna is going to take influence and relate to her own experiences in life.

In the trailer, the fire circle that surrounds Elsa and Olaf looks pretty similar to a heart. My guess is that this is part of a musical sequence, where Elsa will try and deny having feelings for someone, perhaps someone she just met because it would be a good call back to how she says you can't love someone you just met. The gender is not important, though I'm hoping it'd be a girl.

%%The WMGs need to be sorted out into the correct folder. There is currently only one folder, Plot, so make more as needed (Anna, Elsa, Hans, New Characters, Crossover, etc.)

[[folder:Plot]]

[[WMG: Elsa will be TheProtagonist of the sequel.]]

She's certainly the big BreakoutCharacter, although Anna is officially the main character in the first ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' movie. Finally, Elsa can forgive herself, and not be afraid of her sister drifting apart from her, no matter what happens. If any difficulty or cruelty comes her way, she will TurnTheOtherCheek, showing resilience and hope. She is likely to receive more screen time alongside the other characters.

[[WMG: We will learn more about King Agdar and Queen Iduna and what actually happened on their trip.]]

Though Frozen director Chris Buck has "confirmed" that Anna and Elsa's parents are Tarzan's parents too, this is just his agreement to such a theory because he directed both films. However, the idea that they did not die at sea (or die at all) would be rather intriguing.
* They might have passed away in that terrible storm, as suggested in Frozen, and may return as a spirit form to Elsa and Anna, or as a silhouette conjured by the trolls. This serves as an important reminder of how familial love is the most special of all.
* Another possibility is that their deaths weren't an accident. Someone might have expected a storm that could prove fatal for voyagers on the North Sea. The day that Agdar and Iduna left might have been specifically chosen. If a new character such as Hans' father becomes the sequel's BigBad, he may have ordered their deaths for criticizing his rule when they showed up for possible trade negotiations, thus being the one truly responsible for all the mess that's occurred since their deaths.

However, the parents will almost certainly be more significant in the Frozen sequel, and it would be marvellous if they were to return- also increasing the likeliness for the root cause of Elsa's ice powers to be revealed. Agdar and Iduna have just been [[PutOnABus put aside]] for now, but they're shown in Olaf's Frozen Adventure through a flashback memory.

* Frequently, [[WellDoneDaughterGal Elsa will reflect on her position as Arendelle's Queen]] and question if she's doing a good job. At the same time, [[WideEyedIdealist she will wonder]] if her mama and papa are still alive. Even when they made a mistake, they did so with good intentions. A dramatic change in Anna's character results in her doubting this strongly, however, and she becomes extremely upset as Elsa reminds her of them.
* Elsa, albeit rejected by Anna, stays resilient and continues to reign happily over Arendelle, whilst dreaming of her parents to return. Elsa starts to learn where their parents went and discover the secrets of her own castle.
* Maybe the couple were washed up on the shore of a European country (possibly Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain or Portugal), which would likely have a fictional name. They may have been separated; perhaps Iduna endured better than Agdar thanks to her better experience at sea. Agdar takes longer to recover, and Iduna does her best to find some help.
* She meets a young lady from an ethnic minority, who is slightly older than her daughter Elsa. By following their way of life, even within poverty, Iduna (and Agdar, when he recovers) thoroughly acknowledge the girl, her family and the citizens of this awe-inspiring place.
* Agdar and Iduna eventually reveal that they were monarchs of the Royal Family of Arendelle previously. They told many stories of Elsa and Anna.
About 5 years since leaving, they will both return to Arendelle, thanking and/or blessing the family they spent those years with. The young lady becomes a close penpal of Elsa and Anna.
* They come back to plenty of great surprises: an enthusiastic Elsa, who is extremely ecstatic about her parents returning alive and well. She also has a long story to tell..! Anna, on the other hand, takes some convincing before seeing her parents for real. At this point, she is {{Fainting}}.
* Nevertheless, the sisters are both overjoyed by their parents' miraculous return. The sisters' relationship with their parents prior to the voyage will be explored further in the Frozen sequel.
* Perhaps Anna has planned her wedding to Kristoff... now her parents are last-minute guests!

[[WMG: Queen Iduna will arrive back in Arendelle as the NonProtagonistResolver]]

There have been speculations that [[https://thedisinsider.com/2018/06/27/queen-iduna-to-have-a-pivotal-role-in-frozen-2/ Queen Iduna will have a major role]] in the Frozen sequel- she will fully resolve the problems that Elsa and Anna have created.
* The sisters may separate once again, especially if just one of them believes that their parents are alive.
* King Agdar may also return, but not as a major character. He regrets his decision to isolate Elsa and Anna, and he will co-operate with the other characters as a redemption.
* Iduna has characteristics that link more closely to Elsa than Anna.
* Despite a submissive nature, Iduna genuinely cares about the wider community, and she is also good at subtly encouraging Elsa to free her magic one day.

[[WMG: Anna will experience further CharacterDevelopment in the sequel.]]

The CharacterDevelopment my involve some CharacterDerailment, however.

* Anna is pretty much an AffectionateParody of Disney Princesses. Her doomed romance with Hans showed the problems of FourthDateMarriage and LoveAtFirstSight, and she's certainly learned from it. In a sequel, another flaw in traditional Disney logic will be taken apart: BlackAndWhiteMorality. It can be said that Elsa was an exploration of this, but her morality was never ambiguous; the worst deliberate thing she did was cast off her responsibilities. Then there’s Hans, who has been confirmed as a TragicVillain. In a “Redemption of Hans storyline” Anna, in her innocence and heartbreak, will have a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] case of BlackAndWhiteInsanity, and initially see Hans as a [[RonTheDeathEater heartless monster beyond hope]]. Her [[AnAesop personal lesson]] will be existence of [[BlackAndGrayMorality grey]] [[GreyAndGrayMorality morality]], and that people are never just one thing.
* This could also come into play if we’re introduced to Hans’ family and they turn out to be horrible as predicted. Growing up only knowing a sadly distant, but nonetheless loving family, it’s probable that Anna would have trouble wrapping her head around the idea of an [[AbusiveParents abusive]] [[BigBrotherBully one]], unless witnessing it firsthand.
* Or maybe, if Elsa loses her powers, Anna will grow to acknowledge her beloved sister isn't as perfect as she's always idealized her to be.
* Anna may have more IResembleThatRemark moments, such as when she tells Elsa "don't be a drama queen" in the non-canon 'Lego Frozen Magic of The Northern Lights'. Elsa will develop her spiritedness (and be similar to a cheery Anna)
To avoid being ignored thanks to Elsa's charm, Anna will try to preserve her individuality by acting rather differently to what we might expect from her.

[[WMG: Anna will represent the InkSuitActor, in an alternative way]]

Kristen Bell, who is Anna's voice actress, stated in an interview that Anna is going to take influence and relate to her own experiences in life.
* This could hint that Anna may suffer from depression. Firstly, she was separated from Elsa for a long time, but also when Elsa speaks about and reminds her of their parents. Although Elsa wouldn't intentionally upset Anna like this, Anna could, unfortunately, lose that spark of optimism that defined her in Frozen.

[[WMG: The reason for Elsa's powers will finally be explained in the sequel]]
The official [[WordOfGod word of Jennifer Lee]] of how Elsa got her powers may satisfy for now, but the idea may be put aside.
* Maybe her parents visited a good sorcerer who blessed them to have a child with a special ability (which turned out to be ice powers).

[[WMG:Elsa will [[BroughtDownToNormal temporarily lose her powers]].]]

If there will be an antagonist, they are likely to be someone who could be easily outmatched by the Snow Queen, so they take precautions and drain the magic out of her.
* However, if Anna discovers some sort of power...then she may just as easily weaken Elsa and remove her powers.
* As proof, Elsa's hair will [[HairColorSpoiler change from platinum blonde to her mother's brunette]]. Initially, this seems like a blessing. She can finally express her feelings without indoor blizzards! However, the power has dominated her entire life, for better or worse. If she's not the Snow Queen, who is she? She has the urge to find a new identity- this time it will be for the better. If there is also danger coming from political enemies, like the Duke of Weselton or Hans' family, they see this development as a chance to take advantage because there is no threat of being turned into an ice statue when they step out of line. Of course, Elsa manages to rediscover the strength and ingenuity with her friends to save the day and has the magic returned to her. This comes with AnAesop that Elsa is much more than "Snow" and "Queen."
* Stealing her powers would take away the "Snow" part of her identity, but one way for Elsa to lose "Queen" is for normalization to happen in a country other than Arendelle, and people there doubt that Elsa is the "real" Queen Elsa as she lacks her ice magic and blonde hair.

[[WMG: RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Elsa will visit her people...in disguise.]]

After Elsa loses her powers, her [[PowerDyesYourHair hair will turn from platinum blonde to brown]] so part of her signature look disappears.
* However, she is still going to be portrayed with the cheerful personality shown in Frozen Fever. Elsa may also stop wearing make-up, dress as a commoner, and take inspiration from her mother's life before becoming a queen.
* She will go out into Arendelle and hope for the best, whether she is recognized by anyone or not!
* Eventually she will unveil to the townspeople that she is Queen Elsa, and also explain what happened with her powers.

[[WMG: Elsa will get some ShipTease in the sequel, but will not end up with a canon LoveInterest.]]

She may appear with Hans, and with a new female character (maybe the villain?), but she will not "end up" with anyone. So the people who want her to end up with Hans, the people who want her to not end up with Hans, the people who want her to end up with a girl, and the people who want her to stay single can all get something out of it and not be entirely disappointed.


[[WMG: The subplot will be about Anna and Kristoff's relationship being on the rocks.]]

It all starts with TheILoveYouStigma, suggested by "Frozen Fever." Anna starts to worry that she only loves Kristoff as a friend and she's just looking for [[LovingAShadow her storybook romance again]], while Kristoff wrestles between his feelings for Anna and the fact that he doesn't want to trade his simple life for the world of aristocracy. Throw in some poor communication skills, and you've got a classic B-plot. Of course, the two lovesick fools figure it out in the end.
* Another factor might be that Elsa's and Kristoff's friendship isn't as good as we were led to believe. In "Frozen Fever", she only just trusts him to watch the courtyard even before the Snowgies are created, and in "Olaf's Frozen Adventure", Olaf tells Anna that she doesn't need to settle for someone like Kristoff. Elsa clearly heard him say it, but unlike Anna, she doesn't laugh it off. Assuming that Olaf's conscience was originally a part of Elsa's, these might actually be her thoughts.

[[WMG: Elsa will seem to act a bit like Olaf!]]
* Olaf the snowman could be Elsa's funny side lots of the time and express many things that would lead Elsa to confuse people if she joked about as queen, even without her snow and ice magic. She might act more like him when in private.
* Before the first accident caused by her powers when she was 8 years old, Elsa may have been a very happy, lively and not-too-serious person. She was rather easily persuaded by Anna to build a snowman.
* The aforementioned characteristics may emerge in Elsa in this new film. In Frozen Fever, Elsa acts like this too, but she is still anxious and tries to 'make everything perfect'. She will truly 'let go' of all those burdens and start to take more inspiration from Olaf in rebuilding her identity.

[[WMG: We will never see Hans again]]

Despite what a freaking awesome villain he is, we'll never see him again because he's just too DARK to come back. If there's a sequel we'll have to deal with a crappy villain like the Duke. And even if Hans does return, it won't be as somebody interesting; just a cackling maniac because the cat's out of the bag and he won't be able to pull off the hoax again.
* Or, he'll have to invent a new scheme similar to the one he uses in ''Series/OnceUponATime''.

[[WMG: The sequel will be a retelling of ''The Wild Swans'']]

* First, some backstory; Hans' mother was the second wife of King Bjorn of the Southern Isles, his first wife having died a year or so before. However, she was an evil witch who plotted to assassinate King Bjorn and his twelve older sons so that the infant Hans would be the nominal king, and she would rule as his dowager/regent. Her duplicity was revealed before any damage could be done, so King Bjorn dissolved the marriage and banished her forever. He did not blame the infant Hans for his mother's crimes, however, some of Hans' older brothers did resent him because of his mother, and generally treated him like dirt. This resulted in his growing sociopathy and prompted his attempt to secure his own kingdom by arranging for a convenient accident for Queen Elsa after becoming, in rapid succession, Anna's finance, her husband, and her widower. Bjorn's response to this development was to banish Hans from the Southern Isles forever.
* A little over a year after the events of the first movie, Elsa holds a ball to celebrate the impending marriage of Princess Anna and Royal Icemaster Kristoff. In a diplomatic gesture, she invites the twelve princes of the Southern Isles to celebrate at a formal ball two weeks before the wedding. The party is in full swing until Hans shows up uninvited. Having reunited with his witchy (possibly foster) mother during his exile, he learned the dark arts from her and was now planning revenge against both the Southern Isles and Arendelle. Casting a spell, he turns his older brothers into swans and is about to run Anna through with his sword. The swans rescue Anna and carry her away. Anna convinces the swans to land near the home of the rock trolls, hoping that Grand-Pabbie can help break the spell. Grand-Pabbie informs Anna that only she, due to her strong loving heart, can break the spell. She must gather nettles, extract the silk from them and weave them into garments. Once the swans don the magic garments the spell will be lifted and they will become human again. Oh, and during this whole thing, she must remain silent. If she says a single word during this, the garments will be sundered and the swans will die. This leads to an interesting reversal; this time it's Anna who has to shut out Elsa without explaining why. The climax of the action involves Hans attempting to have Anna burned at the stake as a witch, while Elsa confronts with Hans' witch mother and goes Fimbulvetr on her!
** Alternatively, Elsa might defeat the villain with her wits.
* That. Would. Be. AWESOME!

[[WMG: In the "redemption of Hans" story angle, the first of the heroes to reach out will be...]]

Olaf! Elsa and Kristoff don't know him, and, although Anna is an [[AllLovingHero All Loving Heroine]], she was personally hurt by Hans and will have trouble accepting that he's more than a villain. Olaf, however, will want to learn Hans' side of the story and make friends with the prince, because that's just who he is. The snowman's kindness to the enemy will be what inspires the others to give Hans a chance.

[[WMG:The sequel film will take place in the Southern Isles.]]

Let's say something bad happens in Arendelle, and the gang seeks out Grand Pabbie's advice. Pabbie tells them to seek out a MacGuffin, but warns them that it can only be found in the Southern Isles and that a "ruler with a frozen heart" will try to stop them. Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and Olaf will initially groan about this, remembering how a certain prince from the Isles had tried to steal their throne earlier and automatically assume he's the [[WrongGenreSavvy "frozen-hearted" ruler.]] But then, it becomes a new and exciting adventure for them, since they'll get to see the wealthiest and most powerful of their trading partners (but also the most mysterious), alongside learning more about the man who tried to seize their kingdom and his 12 older brothers.

Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Sven and Olaf will go to the capital city, which looks like a mix of Denmark, Imperial Germany, Britain and the United States in the 19th century. Just imagine these [[CountryMouse country kids]]' reaction to a huge, bustling metropolis! They would be impressed at the architecture and be awed by how Hans' home is far more prosperous and technologically advanced than either Arendelle or all the kingdoms they've visited so far ([[SchrodingersCanon which may include]] those mentioned in ''Literature/AFrozenHeart'', the comics, or the ''Literature/AnnaAndElsa'' books), and [[GoodCannotComprehendEvil wonder]] why Hans would want to seize control of another kingdom when his homeland is extravagantly wealthy and luxurious. They'll think that his people and family are [[StepfordSmiler warm and friendly]] despite what he did, combined with the locals wanting to show that they're not like the idiotic fool who sullied their kingdom's name. While visiting the Isles, they'd be impressed by Hans' BigFancyCastle, as from a distance, it looked like a giant, black SeaMonster that somehow flourishes in the harsh environment (although they would feel a bit scared by its structure and compare it to their BrightCastle or Elsa's IcePalace). As far as Hans' family is concerned, they'll put up a good appearance to show that they're not like Hans (although Elsa and co. would feel a bit nervous of his father's intimidating appearance). Perhaps Anna might take an interest in one of his 12 older brothers (presumably Caleb, Rudi, Runo or Lars), leading Kristoff to feel a bit jealous about this. It's also possible that Anna, Elsa, Olaf and Kristoff will be given Hans' bedroom for temporary lodgings, as a way to rub it in Hans' face, while Sven stays at the royal stables.

As they visit the kingdom, they slowly realize [[EmpirewithADarkSecret something sinister is going on in the Isles]] — it's actually an oppressive and totalitarian [[{{Dystopia}} regime]] led by a despot who rules it by force. [[{{Unperson}} Perhaps people that they saw earlier mysteriously vanish in the middle of the night]], while the gang later finds out that they're [[ForbiddenZone banned from entering certain areas of the kingdom or castle]], [[ParanoiaFuel which houses both corpses and prisoners]]. Once they witness the true nature of the regime and realize the king is actually a profoundly violent man who rules in a cruel manner [[ParanoiaFuel as a brutal authoritarian]], they would be really shocked and horrified at how he uses DisproportionateRetribution to torture his subjects and abuses his power. Alternately, the crew could be disgusted at a scene where Hans' brothers viciously torment prisoners and subject them to Gulag-type conditions, or witness a scenario where Hans is ill-treated like a slave. At this point, serious drama occurs if Elsa and the gang give the king a KirkSummation for running an incredibly repressive and autocratic PoliceState, leading to King Westergaard exploding in anger and having them imprisoned by condemning them to death, which forces them to do an EnemyMine with Hans in order to take down the Southern Isles monarchy aka Hans's BigScrewedUpFamily. The king might be the BigBad of the sequel (as he was the GreaterScopeVillain of ''Frozen''), as he will try to prevent the heroes from getting said MacGuffin in their hands, since it's the big secret that's keeping him in power. If Hans is revealed to have a high rank within the Southern Isles armed forces, he could assist the crew by [[TheDogBitesBack starting a mutiny to get revenge on his abusive family]]. [[ProphecyTwist The gang also realizes that the true "ruler with a frozen heart" mentioned earlier in Pabbie's prophecy is not Hans, but actually his father]], who has a heart that's way too rotten and hollow to the core. King Westergaard hid this magical MacGuffin from outsiders, but once he realizes that Elsa and the gang are after said object, [[VillainousBreakdown he becomes desperate to prevent anybody, including the Arendellers or Hans from taking it, and so, he corners the heroes]], but a large battle ensues and the king is overthrown and either [[DisneyVillainDeath falls to his death]] or is incapacitated, leading to a vacancy. Most of Hans' brothers, realizing what had happened, will either be too terrified to take the throne or want nothing to do with being king after seeing it's more work than they thought, due to the fact that their father spoiled them too much. Lars might end up becoming the new king if Hans rejects it.
* The Arendellers' arrival in the capital at the beginning of the movie would be an ideal opportunity for a song like "One Short Day" from ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}''. They sing with its citizens how beautiful and amazing the city is and how happy they all are to be here, but like the Emerald City, the Southern Isles is actually a CrapsaccharineWorld with a lying, corrupt ruler.
* The urban environment would certainly be horrible and hostile for Kristoff, because of his wholly rustic lifestyle. Besides discomfort from the sheer culture shock, he would be contemptuously looked down on and ridiculed by the wealthier residents for his humbleness and attachment to Sven, and [[MistakenForServant is condescendingly assumed by the king to be Anna and Elsa's servant at best]] and a backwoods hick at worst. All this while Anna is unable to empathize with her boyfriend, as she, Olaf, and Elsa enjoy this thrilling, fascinating new world, putting a strain on their relationship. Right up until the glitter fades and [[EmpireWithADarkSecret the kingdom is revealed for]] [[CrapsaccharineWorld the hellhole it is under the king]].
** It's possible that even Olaf, Elsa and Anna would feel a bit uncomfortable in an urban setting like Kristoff, given that Arendelle is more like a village or small town versus the modernized nature of Hans' homeland. And being that they're [[CountryMouse from a backwater country]] that's like a minor league team compared to the Southern Isles, which would be a big shot major league franchise, the four would have a TheCityVsTheCountry debate about this when they visit the kingdom, combined with a bit of culture shock. For example:
*** Being that Arendelle has a more rural feel to it, visiting a big city for the first time would make the gang feel a little disoriented. Plus, [[UncannyAtmosphere the heroes would be on edge]], as they vaguely sense something is wrong about King Westergaard, but they won't know until they dig deeper into the Isles.
*** The more advanced and prosperous lifestyle of the Southern Isles.
*** The castle's dark and gloomy interior. The gang would contrast it to Arendelle's BrightCastle.
*** Why soldiers are everywhere — the gang is unaware that the Isles actually a repressive PoliceState where martial law is used to keep the citizenry in line.
*** Elsa and company will be a bit confused as to why the locals always have smiles plastered on their faces. They're actually {{Stepford Smiler}}s, more reluctant to criticize King Westergaard, as he uses his subjects' paranoia to suppress any criticism against him and maintain his iron-fisted grip on the kingdom in various means, including restrictions against entering prohibited areas in the kingdom and [[FascistsBedTime curfews]] to prevent any unlawful assembly.
* Given that the sisters grew up in a sadly distant but still loving family, it's probable that they would be [[GoodCannotComprehendEvil baffled at the idea]] of an abusive man who ill-treats his family and subjects, unless witnessing it firsthand; this would also unnerve Elsa and the gang once they witness the barbaric and inhumane treatment of the king's subjects. And if the Southern Isles has colonies, the king would probably subject the natives to harsh conditions, [[MoralEventHorizon possibly committing atrocities to wipe them out]]. Any dissent against the regime is met with extreme force.
** Also, during the gang going through their EnemyMine moment with Hans after he unwittingly fell into a trap by his abusive brothers, but only to be saved by our heroes, he will be [[EvilCannotComprehendGood flummoxed]] as to why [[BigDamnHeroes they risked]] [[SaveTheVillain saving him]] despite his crimes, and goes on a tirade about why LoveIsAWeakness that makes people [[LoveMakesYouDumb dumb and stupid]], and why one needs to be tough-skinned in order to survive in what he thinks is a dog-eat-dog world. [[MachiavelliWasWrong The four chew him out on it,]] stating that while they hate him for what he did, it's not that they would want to see him get killed, [[MurderByInaction as doing so]] would make them NotSoDifferent than him. [[SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers They also state]] he and his brothers should realize that not caring for others or acting in self-interest won't get them any friends or endure them to the Southern Isles' populace (after witnessing his father's abuse of power, how he manipulates and lies on a whim to stay in power, or how he tortures people just for not providing favors), and that there's more to life than just being obsessed with power or mindlessly following his father's cruel orders. They also tell him how ThePowerOfLove can thaw his "frozen" heart out and turn him back into the decent guy he once was. This forces Hans to not only think WasItReallyWorthIt if he wasted his potential in appealing to an unfeeling man, ''but also'' realize that his father is a selfish monster [[TheUnfettered who will do anything]] ''[[TheUnfettered and]]'' [[TheUnfettered everything]] to stay in power and cling on to the crown, even by destroying any real or perceived threat, including ''[[OffingTheOffspring his own sons]]''. Plus, this makes him finally realize how his past experience has not only warped his mindset, it also caused him to become an enemy of the main characters.
** Given how the king and his sons are misogynistic, they'll [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain express ignorant views of women ruling a kingdom]], and think Elsa and Anna should instead StayInTheKitchen and [[BabyFactory sire heirs to the throne]]. They'll make a MarsAndVenusGenderContrast, thinking men would be better rulers than women, as they're purely driven by logic instead of emotions as the sisters are. Or, perhaps they could make rude and insensitive insults about the Arendellers' life choices, outraging the Arendellers a bit. For example:
*** King Westergaard [[EvilCannotComprehendGood assumes]] that Kristoff, due to his background as an ice harvester, is a SocialClimber who will become a GoldDigger if he marries Anna, not because of the genuine feelings he has for her. Alternately, he'll call Kristoff undeserving of being Anna's boyfriend due to him not being royal blooded, or make snobbish and inappropriate remarks on his humility or attachment to Sven.
*** He could also call Elsa [[FantasticRacism a witch]] who is unfit to rule a kingdom, relating to the popular theory that Arendelle is still secretly feared and despised by its trade partners and neighbors for having a sorceress as its queen, and that people like King Westergaard still hold prejudiced and contemptuous opinions of magic users like Elsa.
*** [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim He might also mock Anna for her choice for a partner]], telling that she deserves someone of equal footing, not some [[MistakenForServant lowly peasant oaf like Kristoff]]. Or that he'll tell her that she and Elsa don't deserve to run a kingdom, stating that men like one of his sons should rule Arendelle instead (if he thinks women should StayInTheKitchen).
** If King Westergaard becomes the BigBad of the sequel, he'll be a ContrastingSequelAntagonist and ShadowArchetype compared to his son, with the difference being that while Hans almost killed Anna and Elsa out of desperation, the king has no qualms killing anybody, having been desensitized to violence for so long. Plus, while Hans has the chance to redeem himself, the king has no desire to end his tyranny. Also, he'll be one of the more darker Disney villains, on par with [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Frollo]], [[Disney/TheLionKing Scar]] or [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory3 Lotso the Hugging Bear]]. And should he realize that Hans has escaped, joining the heroes, he might try to kill his own wife as a way to not only spite his own youngest son (given that he was his mother's favourite), but also to rub out any potential threats, real or perceived, to his power base.
** King Westergaard could also be Adgar's {{Foil}} and ShadowArchetype, in that while both are kings, Westergaard represents what Adgar could have been if he did not exercise restraint in his power of authority: an abusive father who ill-treats his sons, a wife-basher who neglects his spouse and sees her as a baby-producing object, and a ruthless man who rules his kingdom through fear. While both are responsible for children developing mental health issues, Adgar only wanted to keep Elsa and Anna safe, but Hans' father is unfeeling towards his sons.
* If Elsa is revealed to have directly executed the decision to send Hans back to his family, she will be [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone horrified at herself]] and unsure of what to do next, after realizing how monstrous his father is. As a sign that he is beginning to improve, Hans could comfort her by bluntly stating that it was his own murderous actions which got him sent back and that she should not feel guilty for doing so, as she had no idea that his family was so messed up in the first place. [[YouAreBetterThanYouThink She will also sympathize and tell him that her experiences have taught her exiling oneself to self-loathing isn't the answer]], so she thinks that Hans should go on a RedemptionQuest and is willing to help him. Hans will be skeptical about this, and bluntly assumes she's wasting her time as he's given up all hope. However, as they continue, Elsa will give him an ArmorPiercingQuestion that causes Hans to realize not all hope is lost. He begins to like Elsa, [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe since she's treating him with kindness in spite of his backstory]], as she made him [[LoveRedeems realize]] how he wasted all of his potential on earning the admiration of a callous monster.
* As this goes on, the gang will learn a bit more about the ''true and ugly reason'' why the King of the Southern Isles singled Hans out for abuse in the first place, and begin to regret sending him back to a living Hell on Earth. Someone, presumably a sorcerer, tells them that Hans is tied to the MacGuffin the Arendellers are looking for and that he was born with magical powers like Elsa, but it caused his father to humiliate him for this reason. Knowing the full and deadly potential of his son's magic should [[PowerIncontinence it go haywire]], the king may have consulted with another sorcerer at some point, [[BroughtDownToNormal who transferred]] Hans' powers to the MacGuffin, but also left the king with a warning: a prophecy that "one of his 13 sons will betray him." [[EvilCannotComprehendGood Obviously,]] the king thinks the traitor is Hans due to his powers, kills the sorcerer, hides the MacGuffin away to prevent anybody from knowing about his secret, and as a result, [[TheParanoiac became increasingly suspicious of his sons and authoritarian in ruling his big kingdom and family]], alongside instigating the bullying of Hans so that none of his children will overthrow him. The MacGuffin will be the key for Hans to unlock his powers, and although he plays a big part in ending his father's tyranny, it will ultimately be one of his 12 brothers who kills the king for good in an interesting ProphecyTwist. Upon hearing this, the gang would be left utterly conflicted in regards to their opinion of Hans and his family, as while they currently despise him for what he did, they also feel pity for the 13 sons for the abuse they endured under their evil father, and how it shaped them over the years. At the same time, they now understand that [[HateSink the true villain]] behind all of the mess that occurred in the first movie is neither Hans nor his 12 brothers, but their father the King of the Southern Isles, especially if the second sorcerer or person tells them that the king ordered Agdar and Iduna’s deaths just for criticizing his regime when they showed up for potential trade negotiations. As far as the traitor son mentioned in the prophecy, the gang presumes it will be Lars, who isn't a WellDoneSonGuy unlike his brothers.
** Potential powers Hans could manifest:
*** Many fanworks depict him having fire powers to counter Elsa's frost, despite not having them in canon.
*** RealityWarping. Hans is capable of bending reality like LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya, [[PowerIncontinence but it poses a bigger crisis]] than Elsa's EndlessWinter, and one that may have the potential to threaten all of reality should he have a superpower meltdown, with the additional Aesop that RealityWarpingIsNotAToy.
*** SuperpowerLottery. He is capable of manifesting a multitude of powers, including [[ShockAndAwe electricity]], flight, [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]] and EyeBeams.
*** [[ComboPlatterPowers Combination of all of the above]]. This makes him a FlyingBrick on par with ComicBook/{{Superman}}, with him being a Type 5 or 6 on the SuperWeight scale.
* A scene in the FinalBattle may involve the king giving the usual DisappointedInYou tirade to Hans, to which Hans has had enough, CallsTheOldManOut for his atrocities and tells him that he doesn't deserve the respect. The king tries OffingTheOffspring for this, but Hans retaliates and gives him a severe NoHoldsBarredBeatdown for his abuses. Hans could also tell the king that his adventures with Elsa and company made him realize that his family's harsh methods of ruling -- lying on a whim, beating up and tormenting people, abusing the power of authority -- was morally wrong from the beginning ''and'' that his [[ProtagonistJourneyToVillain journey to earn their respect was self-destructive.]] He then contemplates offing his father, but stops when someone, perhaps Lars or Elsa, tells him that he is NotWorthKilling. They also tell him [[IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim that while the king has it coming, killing him would make Hans the ideal son his father always wanted]], and so, Hans simply backs out of this. Hans' other eleven brothers try to attack him for this, but Lars stops them and tells that their father is the one responsible for turning them into his own henchmen, and that he truly doesn't care for them. King Westergaard confirms this, causing the other eleven sons to have a HeelRealization, and as a result, they all immediately defect en masse from him.
* Appalled by how the kingdom actually is versus originally presented, another scene in the sequel shows Elsa, Anna, Olaf, and Kristoff talking about the Isles once they realize the horrifying CrapsaccharineWorld it truly is: while it may be far more prosperous and technologically advanced than Arendelle, the only things lacking there are friendship and compassion, as it's a {{Dystopia}} with everything being hollow despite the extravagance. Its people are {{Stepford Smiler}}s, but its ruler is a sociopathic tyrant [[EvilCannotComprehendGood who doesn't understand empathy.]] His wrath knowing no bounds, the king only cares for himself and is "frozen-hearted," viewing things such as love or loyalty with great contempt. And since he expresses ignorant opinions on women, they'll wonder how people like him can be morally bankrupt and cling on to outdated views despite ruling a highly prosperous and modernized economy. According to them, the Isles is a land of contradictions and hypocrisy: its economy is booming, yet everything is barren; the people are always smiling, but they're faked; the king is powerful, but he is [[HateSink someone far worse than Hans]]; the kingdom is far more powerful than Arendelle, but everything is run on people's fear of what the king does. The four are repulsed at the downright toxic legal system, since anyone could be easily jailed easily via {{Kangaroo Court}}s, and the king perverted it to suit his whims as he assumes AllCrimesAreEqual, no matter how minor or petty they are. To them, the Isles is actually a cesspool of hatred and paranoia under the King of the Southern Isles, not the beacon of wealth and power as they thought it was. They might also be appalled that he condemned Hans to slavery not for attempted regicide, but for sullying the Westergaard name. Ultimately, the four concede that Hans' father is ''really a tyrannical monster'' who should be dethroned for all the evil he committed, especially after finding out he murdered Elsa and Anna's parents for disproportionate reasons.
** From their perspective after realizing how grim the situation is, it may harden Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and Olaf's perspective on King Westergaard, who had all the luxuries, the wealth and the power, yet still wanted ''more'' and contemptuously looked down on the poor. To them, the perks of being king would have been enough, but what more could the King of the Southern Isles want, especially by scaring his subjects into submission, or abusing his family just to show off? Why ruin and squander everything for his own personal ambition and greed? To Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and Olaf, while old man Westergaard professes to be a KnightTemplar WellIntentionedExtremist king who claims that he's doing all these things for the greater good of his kingdom, it's nothing but hogwash. They'll also be left horrified as to how anybody would find it funny to heap abuse on their family and subjects.
** Also in the same scene, the four will be confused at the [[BigScrewedUpFamily royal family's dynamics]]. Despite being fraught with issues, Kristoff's adoptive troll family and the sisters' parents were genuinely caring and loving, but upon seeing Hans' situation, they realize his family cranks the DysfunctionalFamily trope UpToEleven with misogynistic and arrogant royals, a father who is a violent oppressor two times over, and 13 sons at each other's throats. Olaf's innocence would have him horrified at the idea that truly evil persons like King Westergaard do exist, and are capable of doing such atrocities. At this moment, Anna, Kristoff and Elsa are grateful that Agdar didn’t turn out like old man Westergaard. When they call the king out on his evil, he'll state that the words "hero" and "villain" are [[WhatIsEvil created by those who lack the ambition to get what they want]], and instead call them interlopers who have no business telling him how to rule his kingdom.
** Such is the king's reputation, that when the four go to the Southern Isles to acquire the MacGuffin, they will be warned by someone on how hostile [[TheDreaded the king is]] and how the Southern Isles is a horrible place. The four will ignore their advice, [[GoodCannotComprehendEvil simply assuming]] Hans' family are nice people, but once they witness the grim situation in the Isles, they'll realize that even they're truly terrified of arousing the king’s wrath when they call him out on his evil.
** To rationalize the king's temperament and why he has an explosive temper, the four assume he has a FreudianExcuse, such as Hans mentioning in passing that his paternal ancestors were unbearable. It actually strengthens Hans and his father as {{Foil}}s to each other, as while Hans, with help from the crew, manages to overcome his past traumas, the king is a lost cause. Conversely, he has no excuse, or the one he gave was a flimsy one at best. If the four ask why he is so cruel and how could this justify his abuse of power, the king might just bluntly admit that he actually had loving parents who spoiled him, but he decided he wanted a better life because of his bloated ego, [[SocialClimber and so, he betrayed everyone he knew, including his family, cheated his way to the top]] [[ItsAllAboutMe so he can have the riches and power he thinks is his]], and is still willing to cling on to the crown by all means necessary. [[DisappointedByTheMotive Hans will be dismayed over this]], stating that while what he did in Arendelle was wrong, he tried to justify it as him trying to escape his pathetic excuse for a father and did really want to be TheGoodKing, combined with being angry that his mother was killed just to spite Hans out of pure malice and hatred. The king might also admit point-blank that he doesn't care what his 13 sons do, only that he molded them in his image and cared more about his reputation. The Arendellers finally realize there's nothing behind what or ''even'' why the king relishes in all of the countless atrocities he commits: like [[Film/TheDarkKnight the Joker]] and [[Film/JamesBond Ernst Blofeld]], ''[[ForTheEvulz he just is]].'' The king may in fact be the most vile and despicable person they've ever met, given the ParanoiaFuel surrounding him.
* After the FinalBattle, the defeated king might give the Arendellers a HannibalLecture on how their [[VirtueIsWeakness kindness and morals]] have made them soft and weak in ruling Arendelle, only for the them to retort and give a WorldOfCardboardSpeech to the king, stating how their adventure have helped them to overcome their flaws (Elsa's insecurity and selflessness, Kristoff's stubbornness, Olaf's recklessness and Anna's naiveté), and a KirkSummation on how his evil has caused the suffering and hurt of countless others, combined with telling him that a king and his crown should be a symbol of hope and prosperity, not one of tyranny and oppression. Having realized that their parents were killed by the king just for criticizing his rule when they came for trade negotiations, the four also tell the king that he is ''truly the only person'' around with an icy-cold, "frozen heart," as he was the person behind all the mess behind what happened in the last film. Hans corrects them, saying that while frozen hearts ''[[HeelFaceTurn can be thawed]]'', [[EveryoneHasStandards his father cannot be redeemed as he's way beyond that point]]. Enraged by his sons betraying him, [[VillainousBreakdown the king has a villainous second wind and tries to attack Hans]], but Lars pulls a BigDamnHeroes moment and knocks the king out, causing him to have a DisneyVillainDeath. Upon seeing the king's battered corpse after he took the plunge, neither his own sons nor the Arenedellers have no regrets in offing the man, seeing that he [[AssholeVictim deserved]] the KarmicDeath after seeing how despicable he truly was.
** Since this is a kid-friendly movie, perhaps we may be given a GoryDiscretionShot, where vultures start circling overhead before swooping down.
** The sorcerer's curse upon the king was fulfilled, as the "traitor son" mentioned in their prophecy was Lars, despite Hans having a major role in the king's downfall.
* Having found the MacGuffin, the crew gives it to Hans, as he realized that this was the true source of everybody's troubles, breaks it open, and finally regains the magical powers he was stripped of by his father when he was a child.
* At the end of the sequel, there could be an AndThereWasMuchRejoicing scene, as the populace, free of King Westergaard's tyranny, hail his Lars and Hans as the heroes who overthrew their ArchnemesisDad, and encourage the two to lead the kingdom towards a path of prosperity and freedom. Hans, after much CharacterDevelopment and his adventures with Elsa and company, realizes he didn't want the crown, and so, he urges Lars to become the new King of the Southern Isles, given that he wasn't as obsessed with proving his worth to their father, unlike their brothers. In a CMOH, Hans also reconciles with the other eleven, [[HeelRealization as they now realize]] how their father's SocialDarwinist mindset corrupted them long ago.
* [[TheStinger A few months after the events of the movie]], a wedding ceremony takes place, with Kristoff and Anna marrying after spending some time dating. Hans has not only reconciled with the others but also his brothers, who also attend the ceremony.
** Elsa and Hans may have FoeRomanceSubtext, or really appreciate each other platonically - Elsa forgives Hans and he genuinely becomes more humanitarian, unbelievably.
** Or Hans is now in a relationship with Elsa, and everybody implores him to marry her. At first, Hans is a bit reluctant about this, given what happened, but he changes his mind and Elsa accepts his proposal, in a scene that's reminiscent of how he first proposed to Anna at the end of "Love is an Open Door", and which implies that their ceremony would be worthy of {{Physical God}}s.
[[WMG: An EvilCounterpart race to the Trolls will be major antagonists.]]

Trolls are huge in Scandinavian folklore, so naturally, they appeared in the Norwegian set Frozen. The sequel will feature another popular species from the Norse myths: Dwarves. Not the ''Disney/{{Snow White|AndTheSevenDwarfs}}'' or the [[Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium Tolkien]] varieties, but the olden variety, also known under the name "dark elves". Associated with the Earth, darkness, and death, these dwarves look like ghouls, have jet-black skin (or [[UndeathlyPallor white]],) are old men by age ten, and live underground because [[WeakenedByTheLight sunlight harms them in some way]]. In contrast to the helpful and extremely friendly trolls personality wise, dwarves, no matter the material, are always cranky, distrustful of other races, and go to great lengths for revenge.
* Dwarves were revered by humans and the gods for their craftsmanship, so maybe they are the creators of the Evil Mirror from the original tale. Sometimes dwarves have mystical powers, either [[SizeShifter shrinking and growing]], [[InvisibilityCloak turning invisible with magic helmets or capes]], [[{{Intangibility}} moving through solid earth]], or [[ComboPlatterPowers all of the above]].
* In the Broadway production of Frozen, there are characters known as Hidden Folk which took the place of the trolls. They may feature in Frozen 2.

[[WMG: Hans will have a love interest who tries to redeem him...and fails.]]

Just as ''Frozen'' was centred on subverting the PrinceCharming and LoveAtFirstSight tropes, ''Frozen 2'' will subvert another common fairy tale trope: [[LoveRedeems Beauty and the Beast]]. Hans will meet a woman who is aware of his past but will be confident that she can "fix" him with love. But Hans being a deceptive man, he will use this to manipulate her somehow into escaping the Southern Isles and getting his revenge against Elsa and Anna. At the end, having realized he's way too "frozen-hearted" to be "fixed" with love as she was unwittingly tricked by him into his scheme (just as how Hans faked his romance with Anna), she ultimately gives up on him, moving on to another guy who genuinely loves her.
* Touched on in the original movie when the trolls say to Anna "We're not saying you can change him".
* Maybe a past friend who fell in love with Hans when they were young, but the two became separated as time went by. Years later, she tries to reconnect with him, but she's told about his crimes against Arendelle...and she refuses to believe it. [[UpToEleven Even after Hans personally drags himself out to confirm that it's all true, and describes it all to her in detail, she still thinks he's making it all up]], to everyone's exasperation.

[[WMG: Hans will find out about a flame queen in a distant land]]

He will pull a few strings, and get a message out to the flame queen asking for help, claiming that he was wrongfully imprisoned by a tyrannical ruler. Hans will then formulate a BatmanGambit to transform the benevolent flame queen into an InspectorJavert bent on bringing what she thinks is an evil tyrant to justice by any means necessary.
*Elsa must try not to 'lose her cool'.

[[WMG: Hans will return, hoping to be forgiven, but isn't]]

About a year or so after the events of the first film, Elsa throws a grand ball celebrating the marriage of Anna and Kristoff. At the reception, Hans shows up uninvited, asking for the royal family to forgive him, but Elsa, not trusting trust him due to his past deeds, throws him out of the kingdom, threatening to have him arrested for treason if he ever shows up again. Bitter, Hans concocts a revenge scheme.
scheme.
* It doesn't pan out as Hans hoped, so he eventually gives up.

[[WMG: A sequel or spin-off plot will be inspired by ''[[Literature/TheTwelveDancingPrincesses The Twelve Dancing Princesses]]''.]]
Except for gender-flipped with Hans and his twelve brothers.

[[WMG: The sequel will involve a dispute or even a war between Arendelle and the Southern Isles, maybe involving Weselton, too.]]

Elsa, infuriated by Hans' actions, loses her cool and leads Arendellian armed forces against the Southern Isles. She soon finds [[BatmanGambit that this is what Hans' brothers counted on]], and that Hans was sent to assasinate Arendelle's royalty and take over the kingdom to use as another stepping stone for their empire. It's possible that Hans' brothers may have used his knowledge of Elsa's powers to craft a plan in defeating her.
* Alternatively, due to all of the trouble that he put her in, Anna still feels revengeful towards Hans and is the one who decides to lead the Arendellian Armed Forces against the Southern Isles. Anna could have decision-making power to do so when Elsa is busy or unwell.
* Or maybe someone else orders Elsa to lead the forces against the Isles. Said someone is intentionally doing this so they could eventually seize control of Arendelle and the Southern Isles via an elaborate BatmanGambit while PlayingBothSides against each other.

Additionally, Kristoff, Anna and Elsa realize they're woefully unprepared to face what turns out to be a dictatorial and warmongering regime harbouring imperialistic ambitions, a history of brutally subjugating their colonies (including slavery and genocidal campaigns; such barbarianism would cause the three to be horrified about this shocking discovery), and an extremely powerful and highly advanced military.

* Alternatively, the Southern Islanders, along with the Weselton people, could still be bitter for the events that Elsa's powers caused. Elsa reluctantly has to send Arendellian armed forces against the Southern Isles and Weselton. She wishes to find a peaceful way to settle the conflicts, but Anna is eager to fight, so she somehow takes over from Elsa and causes the conflict to mushroom even more. Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff and Sven now have to calm down Anna, then end the fighting between the other places. They also realize that Arendelle had never been to war for centuries, so they must find a way to rebuild their military, defeat the Southern Isles, and liberate its colonies. Eventually, the events are resolved.

[[WMG: Hans will get redeemed in the sequel, but [[EarnYourHappyEnding he's gonna have to work for it]].]]

Given that he's one of the most hated villains in Disney canon (even beating out people who have actually succeeded in killing someone), he's going to have to do a lot to prove to Anna and Elsa (and the audience) that he's worthy of a second chance. This will involve being the ButtMonkey of the group most of the time, getting picked on by all of Arendelle, almost suffering a HeelFaceDoorSlam, and a near HeroicSacrifice - and he probably still won't be entirely forgiven by the end. But he'll have earned his second chance and be allowed to stay in Arendelle and away from his abusive family, which will go a long way towards cementing his HeelFaceTurn in any future media.


[[WMG: There will be a CallBack to Elsa's ice castle, but in a negative light.]]

Despite the structure's beauty and being the subject of a song about empowerment, Elsa's exile ultimately did very little to lessen her fear and anxiety. The castle was never true freedom, just a new place to run away and hide. By the time of the sequel, Elsa will have realized this.

[[WMG: Elsa and company will have to pursue an EnemyMine situation with Hans, even if they don't like it in the beginning.]]

Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Sven and Olaf will have to deal with a problem that not only threatens Arendelle, but also the Southern Isles. So they go off to find a certain sideburns-sporting red-haired and green-eyed prince, who has been punished to work in the stables, and try to convince him - but he'll be [[GrumpyBear grouchy]], [[JerkAss rude]], [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids pessimistic]], [[VirtueIsWeakness and]] [[TheCynic cynical]] towards them at first - earning a SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers speech from the gang. After realizing that could be his big moment, it's possible that Hans will get a HeelRealization and slowly become more of an AntiVillain in the sequel, thus giving him a possible shot at his eventual HeelFaceTurn.

It's highly likely that the gang will understand a few facts about Hans in the process:
** Hans' DarkAndTroubledPast, which is what made him into the man he is today.
** Some fanfics expand on the possibility of Hans having fire powers, similar to Elsa carrying ice powers - this is why his family, apart from his mother and Lars, treated him so poorly.
** Elsa, Anna and the others would be baffled by the concept of an abusive family, and eventually, realize why Hans became so cold-hearted in the first place - resulting in [[SympathyForTheDevil them pitying Hans]]. It's possible that [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech they could call his father and brothers out]] for their years of abuse and neglect towards Hans.
*** They could also learn a bit of the Southern Isles' history (or witness the true nature of the regime), and be really shocked and horrified at how Hans' father, an extremely stone-cold, ruthless and tyrannical dictator, [[DisproportionateRetribution uses violent and brutal methods]] to torture and execute prisoners, [[EvilDebtCollector regularly strong-arms villagers]] [[IntimidatingRevenueService for not paying taxes on time]] and [[DeadlyEuphemism silences any]] [[ImpliedDeathThreat critics of the regime]]. Serious drama could occur if either Elsa or Anna lose their temper at the king and his sons for running an exceptionally totalitarian PoliceState, leading to Hans's father throwing a fit and sentencing them to be executed, resulting in the gang and Hans having to take on the Southern Isles monarchy alongside the sequel's main antagonist.
** The trolls use his remaining love to give Hans a more positive outlook on life. Olaf, despite sharing the others' dislike of Hans, could also try to help the fallen prince to become more optimistic.

[[WMG: The Southern Isles will send Hans back to Arendelle to work as a servant as part of his punishment.]]

Some fanfics show him working as an unpaid servant in Arendelle as punishment, and give him a shot at his HeelRealization and redemption. Also, FoeYayShipping between him and Elsa occurs among a lot of fans, despite the fact Hans tried to murder her and Anna.
** ''Frozen Fever'' shows Hans shovelling manure at the royal stables as part of his penalty. Maybe it's later decided that it would be more appropriate for him to serve out his sentence in the country he committed the crime and he's transferred to Arendelle.

[[WMG: A voice actor from a more adult show will lend their voice to a character]]

A noticeable trend in animation aimed at families recently. [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Seth Mac Farlane]] played a mouse in SING!, [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Trey Parker]] is playing a character in Despicable Me 3 and [[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Dave Willis]] uses the voice of Carl in Steven Universe. We might get one for fun.
* There has been news that " Evan Rachel Wood and Sterling K. Brown are in talks to lend their voices to Disney’s “Frozen 2,” the sequel to the 2013 smash hit. Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, and Josh Gad are returning to reprise their roles as Elsa, Anna, and Olaf, respectively.
* Maybe a comedian will join the casting too. Their dialogue shall be made suitable for younger audiences, of course.
* (For fun's sake, let's just imagine Justin Roiland reusing the voice of [[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty Rick Sanchez]] (toned down for children of course) coming out of a sidekick character for Hans and he's playing a {{Foil}} to Olaf. As in smart but snarky, rude, disrespectful and makes jokes at others expense... so, Rick for a younger audience. Like how Uncle Andy was Carl for younger audiences.)

[[WMG: If Hans does a HeelFaceTurn, Elsa will invite him into Arendelle's royal court.]]

Elsa is unversed in the more underhanded side of ruling a kingdom, but Hans is clearly both well educated and StreetSmart, and the Queen realizes that her new friend/significant other can be valuable as an advisor. Although Hans doesn't become an all-powerful king, he gets to leave the Southern Isles behind, and he is respected and listened to, earning a balance of what he deserves and what he dreams of.
* Working for Elsa can jokingly be referred to as a "punishment" for Hans' attempted regicide, like calling his position community service.
[[WMG: Hans will eventually make amends with the others, as his mental state is explored.]]
The novel ''A Frozen Heart'' shows that Hans himself may suffer from depression to a much greater extent than Elsa. At first, the main characters have no desire to be around Hans, yet they will end up in a situation where Hans is unable to contain his issues anymore and breaks down. After some time, people realize he's not pretending, realizing [[JerkassWoobie the tough life he lives]] and consider that instead of punishment, Hans needs someone to actually help him understand that he wasted his life on wrongly trying to prove his worth. The citizens of Arendelle will set out to help him, and those in similar situations.

And if Hans does perform a HeelFaceTurn, he will help Anna and Elsa, defying his father. When his father gives him the usual DisappointedInYou TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, Hans has had enough simply stands up and [[CallingTheOldManOut calls him out for all the horrible things he does and tells him that he deserves no respect]]. The king tries to kill him for this and calls him for being too soft, like his mother, but Hans retaliates and contemplates killing him, but only stops when someone, probably either Lars, Anna or Elsa, tells him [[HeWhoFightsMonsters that while his father had it coming, murdering someone out of hatred would make Hans the ideal son]]. Because he no longer wants to be TheDutifulSon for his father, Hans listens to them and backs out. And when King Westergaard gives the Arendellers a HannibalLecture for being too soft and weak in ruling their kingdom, Kristoff, Anna and Elsa [[KirkSummation fire back and call him out for his abuses and the brutal manner in which he runs the Southern Isles]], telling that he is ''truly the only person'' around with an icy-cold, "frozen heart". Hans corrects them, saying that while a frozen heart ''[[HeelFaceTurn can be thawed]]'', [[EveryoneHasStandards his father is way past the point of redemption as his heart is way too dark, hollow and rotten to the core].
\\
A scene in the sequel shows Elsa and company talking about the Southern Isles: while it may be far more powerful, technologically advanced and wealthier than Arendelle or the kingdoms they've visited so far, the only thing lacking there is friendship and compassion, as it's a dystopia with everything being shallow, barren, and cold. Its people are {{Stepford Smiler}}s, but its king is a very corrupt and dictatorial man who rules with an iron fist [[EvilCannotComprehendGood yet doesn't understand mercy]]. His wrath knowing no bounds, King Westergaard only cared for himself and is "frozen-hearted" and cold-blooded. Concepts such as mercy, love or loyalty don't register in his head, as he often despised such virtues.
* There could be hints that the King has a FreudianExcuse, such as Hans mentioning in passing that his paternal grandparents are unbearable. It strengthens Hans and his father as {{Foil}}s to each other, as Hans, with help from others, manages to overcome his past traumas, but the King is much too far gone too.
* Conversely, it might end up the King has no excuse. If he's asked why he is the way it is, he might just admit that he actually had loving parents who spoiled him and he decided he wanted a better life because of his ego, [[SocialClimber so he betrayed everyone he knew and manipulated his way to being a ruler]] [[ItsAllAboutMe so he can have the riches and power he thinks he deserves]]. [[DisappointedByTheMotive Hans will be more than upset over this]], stating that while what he did in Arendelle was terrible and inexcusable, he tried to justify it as him trying to escape a terrible family and did really want to be TheGoodKing.

[[WMG: Hans will be so overworked, his reunion with the sisters will actually be comical.]]

For whatever reason they come to the Southern Isles, they will decide to visit the royal stables so that Sven will have a place to sleep. There they find Hans, passed out from exhaustion. At first, because he's so overworked he thinks he's hallucinating and at first, bluntly ignores them. During this, Anna tries to talk down to him, making it clear he has no control over her, but he just passes it off. [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} He starts to have fun with it]], admitting he liked Anna's SkunkStripe and that he thinks Elsa is "rather attractive" to them, leaving them baffled (and in Elsa's case, [[AbhorrentAdmirer uncomfortable]]). When he sees Olaf, he thinks this confirms it's all in his head and starts laughing his head off. He ends up saying something rude, causing Olaf to throw a piece of coal at him. Hans snaps at him, but after a few seconds, he registers that a hallucination shouldn't hurt. After a few seconds of staring at the coal, he gives it back to Olaf, then poking him and the others to confirm they're real. Elsa grabs his finger and covers it in show, making him realize they aren't hallucinations. The situation actually gets serious for a moment as Hans panics at this realization. It becomes comical again when Anna points out Hans admitted to being attracted to Elsa, and she found that bit ActuallyPrettyFunny. Hans is outright embarrassed as he does a FacePalm, but Elsa is so awkward and unsure how to react to this that she orders them to promise[[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain never to bring it up again]]. And Hans agrees with her on this.

[[WMG: There will be a new magical aspect introduced.]]

The books would tease the idea of something magical, only to reveal it is wasn't real (ghosts, fire magic, etc.). Some other kind of magic unrelated to Elsa's powers or the trolls will be introduced. If Hans returns, it might be associated with him or the Southern Isles. If the above idea of Hans thinking Anna and Elsa are hallucinations go, it's probably because he encountered this otherworldly magic in the form of some being, either someone AmbiguouslyHuman or something like a talking animal, and either it only occurs around him to the point of being MaybeMagicMaybeMundane (either its real or just in his head) or it eventually reveals itself to others, proving it was RealAfterAll. Either way, it will probably play a role in Hans potentially doing a HeelFaceTurn and aid the sisters.
* Alternately, these hallucinations could be fragments of Hans' mind coming out, and soon enough, he discovers that he has RealityWarping powers. However, this goes haywire when he accidentally loses control over it, creating a far bigger crisis than Elsa's EndlessWinter, one that has the potential to end all of reality if Hans loses total control over his powers. It's now the job of the sisters to help him.

[[WMG: A serious showdown between Hans and his father will occur in the sequel if he is redeemed.]]

As part of the theory that Hans' father will kill his wife during the sequel in order to stay in power, this may force Hans to realize if all the time he spent pleasing to the king was just a waste of time, alongside the harsh realization that his dad is a remorseless monster who would lie, manipulate and kill others, including his own family, in order to stay in power. Having realized the horrible man his father is, Hans first calls him out for the bad things he's done so far, but he won't have any and [[OffingTheOffspring tries to kill his youngest son]]. Hans retaliates by grabbing him by the collar and proceeding to brutally beat the crap out of him to near-death. He contemplates killing him, but only stops when either Anna or Elsa tell him [[HeWhoFightsMonsters that while it would end the king's reign (as he had it coming), Hans will finally be the son he always wanted him to be]]. Because he no longer wants to be the ideal son for his father, Hans listens to them and backs out. And as far as Hans' twelve older brothers are concerned, they immediately apologize to Hans for bullying him over the years, [[EvenEvilHasStandards and withdraw the support of their father]], realizing that he only cared for himself by killing their mother out of spite.
** Alternatively, Hans's brothers (except Lars, who leaves) immediately start fighting over the crown and accidentally wipe themselves out in the process.

[[WMG: A showdown between the Arendellers and Hans' father might occur.]]

Apart from aiding Hans in his redemption in the above theories, Anna, Elsa and Kristoff will be utterly disgusted with how King Westergaard brutally treats people and that he chose to condemn Hans to hard labour not for attempted murder, but for disgracing the family name. Horrified and shocked by the display of utter cruelty they witnessed in Hans' father, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone they start to question if sending Hans home was a good idea]], combined with [[GoodCannotComprehendEvil having a hard time understanding the king's MO]] — killing people on a whim, lying to stay in power, believing that only the fittest survive, and forcing his family to emulate them. A serious drama could occur if the three call the king out for his abuse towards not just his youngest son, but also towards his own subjects.

[[WMG: Anna and Elsa will receive [[CerebusRetcon harsh criticism for their actions in the first film]].]]

First, there is Elsa turning summer into winter for two days. A very popular belief is that she hasn't fully been forgiven by the kingdom since such weather would have caused livestock and crops to die so soon, causing a brief economic crisis. Perhaps it turns out some of the citizens fear her or still think she's a monster.
\\
\\
Second, their decision to place a unilateral embargo on Weselton might end up causing more unrest. Not only would trade end, but travel to Weselton would end as well. Perhaps someone in Arendelle had relatives in Weselton who passed away but they were unable to see them in time or go to their funeral in time because travel there would take too long because of the severed ties. They would call their royalty out, saying the actions of one man shouldn't justify ending connections with a whole country or interfere with the lives of people who depend on Weselton for trade.
\\
\\

[[WMG: Hans has his HeelRealization.. and it hits him hard]]

Suppose he and Elsa do go through an EnemyMine scenario, Hans claims he's only trying to seek redemption. Elsa initially doesn't believe him but knows she needs his help. He eventually double-crosses her, saying he's only trying to redeem himself to his father, but when Elsa points out that his father doesn't love him, Hans snaps at her and leaves in a huff. He comes across a trap set by his family, revealing that his father lied about giving Hans a chance at redemption just to lure him to his death. Broken by this, Hans doesn't bother fighting back, [[BigDamnHeroes but is saved by Elsa of all people]]. [[EvilCannotComprehendGood He questions why she'd save his life]] after all he ever did to her and Elsa counters that while she does hate him for everything he's done, [[spoiler: including trying to kill her]], it's not enough to want to see him murdered. She tells him to leave and that she never wants to see him again. [[HeelRealization Alone, Hans tries to rationalize everything that's happened]], trying to find some way of thinking it through the way his father wants him to see things — how people use each other, only the fittest survive, and compassion is weakness — before finally realizing his father's twisted way of thinking, which he never liked in the first place, is morally and fundamentally wrong. He realizes that he's the villain of the story, that love is not a weakness as Anna and Elsa live far happier lives than him and he's become someone he never wanted to be and yet someone who has a valid reason for hating him saved him, and he breaks down as a result. Deciding to at least help Elsa one last time, Hans goes into self-imposed exile. Assuming there is new magic introduced, it will reveal to Elsa Hans's life before coming to Arendelle, revealing that he UsedToBeASweetKid and his father's treatment was pure evil. Hans tells her that he's not the Machiavellian mastermind everyone in Arendelle thinks he is, he's just too desperate for a better life, and that he resorted to his family's schemes, so as a result, he hates himself more than everyone else does. Elsa, actually having sympathy for him, suggests he can change. Hans counters he DID change, he used to be a good person, but he was so eager to be a good man with bad people than he became a bad man to good people, hurting civilians for his father and almost killing a good family to escape. He feels there is no redemption for him and that despite admitting he's sorry for what he did, there's no point seeking forgiveness when he feels he doesn't deserve it. Elsa tries one last time to help him reconsider, but he responds by asking if she could ever forgive him. Elsa, after trying to think it over, responds that she doesn't know. Hans muses that it's not what he wanted to hear but it's better than what he expected before deciding to continue his exile. And as a mirror to how in the film the perception of Hans's character changed when he betrays Anna, this would ultimately change how Elsa sees him, as she leaves she says he shouldn't give up hope, he counters "Oh, I already have". This time, instead of the old smug and sinister Hans, it's now replaced with a Hans that's now totally broken and weak.

[[WMG: We will learn the fate of Sitron the horse]]
He completely disappeared, and no book or short has explained his fate. Either as a joke or something important involving Hans, either Sitron [[UndyingLoyalty is still loyal to Hans]] even to the point of getting defensive around Anna, or quickly showing [[EvenTheDogIsAshamed his disappointment with his master for what he did]].

* Perhaps Hans has been punished and is not allowed to ride on his horse. Instead, he shovels the horse manure, as shown in Frozen Fever.

[[WMG: Hans will have his own animal companion]]

Unless we see Sitron the horse again, [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse who just vanished altogether (unless he's still in Arendelle)]], then Hans will have an animal who acts as a {{Foil}} to Sven that follows him around. This animal will probably be one associated with villains or evil, like a wolf or bat. As a Foil to Sven, it would be a carnivore and have a somewhat serious tone, acting as Hans' conscience but also behaving like TheSpock. If a somewhat humorous moment happens, this animal would function as the OnlySaneMan in the area, looking at everyone with a disapproving look. However, it would still have its own moments of fun and probably function as a ShipperOnDeck, literally pushing a now repentant Hans into getting closer with Elsa.
* A good name for this sidekick would be Gorm. It is a name that sounds rather [[UnfortunateNames evil and putrid]], but is the name of the first king of Denmark and means "God's mercy." Like his master, it symbolizes looking BeneathTheMask to find goodness. Plus it carries on the pseudo-tradition of the main characters' names being four letters long.
* Additionally, with the above theory on extra magic that Hans encounters, if it goes with MaybeMagicMaybeMundane, maybe "Gorm" will "talk" to Hans when they are alone depending on how they meet, similar to how [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Quasimodo interacts with the gargoyles Victor, Hugo and Laverne when he's alone]]. Hans thinks that it's just him imagining a voice due to loneliness and deep-seated guilt, but when the two part ways, Hans outright questions if it was really all in his head or if something really was talking to him.
* A wolf would actually be an appropriate animal for Hans to have to follow him. The Southern Isles is likely based on Denmark, where wolves went extinct for the last 200 years, which would match Frozen's time period. Magic or no magic, a wolf would fit with Hans. In Frozen, the wolves might have gone extinct because of the king not liking them rather than any genuine concern for livestock. Gorm might be the last living wolf in the Southern Isles and he would act as a mirror for Hans: UsedToBeASweetKid but the king's evil and toxic influence ruined his life, forcing him to adopt a hostile and hardhearted exterior to survive. Going on an adventure with the heroes would change him and help him overcome his issues.

[[WMG: We will meet the Brotherhood of the Isles from ''A Frozen Heart'']]

Hans briefly mentions the possibility of his father sending him to the brotherhood, where he will take a vow of silence. If we do see our heroes come to the Southern Isles, we might get to meet this brotherhood. They might play a role in the plot, acting as a {{Foil}} to the trolls; the trolls are a hidden race of non-humans who are friendly and helpful to the royal family, the Brotherhood is a group of well-known humans who aid people in secret yet have no loyalty to the current king and wish for someone nicer to take his place. If it turns out they have magic, then the leader, potentially being AmbiguouslyHuman, acts a sort of mentor/fairy godparent figure for Hans, aiding him on a possible RedemptionQuest.

They might eventually serve as a ParentalSubstitute, serving as replacement figures who fill Hans' lonely life with the guidance and mentorship he never got from his father or brothers. They guide and teach him how to stand on his own feet, have fun and enjoy life, and not be so bothered by the fact that he doesn't have to rely on his abusive family anymore.

[[WMG: We will get a new [[{{Snowlems}} snowlem]]]]

It's become clear that Elsa's snow characters only come to life due to some strong emotion she has when she makes them. Olaf from her sisterly love for Anna, Marshmallow from her desire for solitude and the Snowgies from her fun-loving side. During her adventures, she will probably create a new one.
\\
\\
One rumour going is that Olaf will get a love interest, he would probably ask Elsa to make a snowwoman for him, but it never comes to life. If she and Olaf adventure with Hans and his own animal companion, there will be a point where they make a snowman as a means of bonding. It should be noted that this snowwoman wouldn't be made from any romantic feelings, but a sense of empathy and compassion Elsa would show someone she's supposed to only hate. If the snowwoman comes to life, Hans and Elsa have a brief dispute about how the snow characters come to life and if she planned this. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Olaf isn't clueless as to what this is reminiscent of]]. This snowgirl would remain with them on their adventure, being clueless about Olaf's crush on her, asking Hans for some help in getting her interest. Later, Anna finds out and questions what happened, Elsa insists that she and Hans are just friends now. The snowgirl says [[ShipperOnDeck she thought Hans was her boyfriend the whole time]].

[[WMG: Hans will get a chance to be king, but thanks to CharacterDevelopment he rejects it]]

During his adventure, Hans will have renounced loyalty to his father and realize his goal of becoming a king was because he wanted to impress him. If his father is overthrown, [[DisneyVillainDeath or dies by falling]], there will be a vacancy. Caleb will either be too terrified to take the throne after what's occurred or wants nothing to do with the throne after seeing it's more work than he thought, as will most of Hans' brothers. Hans will actually be given the crown, but immediately realizes he never truly wanted to be a king. He suggests Lars be king, who admits he never wanted the throne, which is why Hans thinks he'd make a better leader. If he and Elsa grow close, she offers to let him stay and potentially rule Arendelle alongside her, but he rejects this as well, seeing Arendelle has a ruler unlike his father, but he's not against seeing her again.

[[WMG: Elsa's anxiety issues will finally be addressed and it's an unlikely source who helps her]]

As we've seen in all post-film media, Elsa hasn't completely gotten over her fear, doubt and regret. Seeing how Hans himself seems to have an extreme case of it, he might actually be someone who helps her if he starts a HeelFaceTurn. He could tell her about how she makes the same mistake he's been making his whole life, namely obsessing so much on bad things that it ruins any chance of something good happening. The main difference is that she has more than one person in her life who can help her and that their help isn't limited like it was for him and Lars. If she shows regret for her actions, he'd defend her. One example that's been discussed, seeing first hand the kind of evil man the King of the Southern Isles is, but Hans assures her that it was his own fault for letting fear and obsession get the better of him and she had no way of knowing what his father is like. This event would not only help Elsa learn to "let it go" but also pave the way to forgiving Hans.

[[WMG: The Duke's name will be revealed]]

As a RunningGag, people will keep on calling him Duke or something similar like "Dukey" or "Weaselton" before he snaps and exclaims "I HAVE A NAME, YOU KNOW!" Prompting everyone to look surprised since no one ever bothered to ask what it is.
* As Weselton is theorized to be the fantastic equivalent to Sweden, the Duke's first name will likely be Gustaf or Carl, names popular with Swedish royalty.

[[WMG: John De Lancie will play a role in the film]]

John appears as a minor character in Olaf's Frozen Adventure, which seems a little out of place for the actor who has played Q from ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' and Discord from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. Perhaps he's being teased to play a role in ''Frozen 2''. Here's a list of characters he could play.
** King Westergaard.
** A high-ranking officer within the Southern Isles armed forces, who could serve as TheDragon to King Westergaard.
** The previously mentioned AmbiguouslyHuman character who acts as an ally to Hans. This character could even snap their fingers to use their powers like Q and Discord.
** One of Hans' twelve older brothers, potentially Lars.
** The king prior to Hans' father.

[[WMG: The end will once again feature EvilCannotComprehendGood]]

King Westergaard is a {{Sociopath}} who saw any form of [[VirtueIsWeakness morality or]] [[MeeknessIsWeakness kindness to be weak and a waste]], and often scoffed or ridiculed those who followed such principles. It ends up being his FatalFlaw, and the thing that leads to his downfall. For this reason, Hans gives him a WorldOfCardboardSpeech, telling how the sisters and their friends have helped him see he doesn't have to be the son his father wanted to make his life better and that they like him better after he chose to abandon his issues and [[HeelFaceTurn adopt his former non-violent mindset]]. The king looks down on Kristoff due to his humbleness and poverty and believes he and Anna are a doomed romance, but they end up getting through their issues and come out stronger. During Hans and Elsa going through their EnemyMine scenario, he attempts to kill his son after the two split off, seeing that no one can save him and no one wants to save him, [[BigDamnHeroes but Elsa ends up saving his life]]. His father thinks Hans will help Elsa out of fear of her or for protection, but Hans actually listens to her since, unlike his father, [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe she was unconditionally good to him]] and sympathizes with his past despite not being ready to forgive him. In the climax, he expects Hans will be too terrified to face him and help Arendelle or will come back to serve him, but Hans stands up to him, [[CallingTheOldManOut calls him out as a cruel man]] and performs a HeroicSacrifice to save Elsa that soon leads to his father's downfall and possible death.

[[WMG: The sequel will feature GoodCannotComprehendEvil]]

Olaf, Elsa, Anna and Kristoff will remain confused in the sequel, if they decide to visit the Southern Isles, as to why Hans wanted to seize control of Arendelle, assuming he's an evil jerk who got his just desserts ''[[DramaticIrony without realizing why he did it in the first place]]''. Plus, when they visit Hans' kingdom, they'll be baffled as to why the people have grins plastered over their faces, unaware it's actually a {{Dystopia}} where people get killed for badmouthing the king or not paying their taxes on time. Also, when they realize the Isles' grimy secret, they'll wonder why the king has such a nasty temper and assume that he has some sort of FreudianExcuse to rationalize his behavior towards his 13 sons and subjects, only to realize that he has no such thing (or if he has one, it'll be a lousy one at the least) and that he simply uses it to selfishly abuse his power and authority over his family and kingdom. This ultimately leaves them struggling to understand how the king relishes in glee from the wanton violence he committed so far.

[[WMG: Elsa's gender preferences get teased about in the beginning as a joke]]

** It's no secret the AlternateCharacterInterpretation of Elsa's orientation is very popular. As a joke, Anna, [[TheMatchmaker who wants her sister to meet somebody]], notes Elsa hasn't met a man who interests her. Elsa quickly responds "Whoa! Just because I haven't shown that sort of interest doesn't mean I don't have it! It's just that I don't want to get into such a relationship right now." If she gets a love interest, she still won't want to engage in a romance, and this person will respect her wishes and just take things slow with her so that they aren't an OfficialCouple.
** Anna uses a suggestive tone towards Elsa's relationship with a woman, who might or might not be Marisol.

[[WMG: Hans and Olaf develop an OddFriendship]]

The two never met. Hans never knows who Olaf is, but Olaf knows of Hans and doesn't like him. So the two meeting isn't off to a good start. Olaf throws his coals at Hans, while Hans makes his limited patience with Olaf clear. As the two are forced to spend time together, they start to unintentionally bond and become VitriolicBestBuds after Hans starts his HeelFaceTurn.

[[WMG: Hans will have a PetTheDog moment early before actually beginning a redemption arc]]

To show Hans isn't pure evil or at the least regretting his actions, he performs a good deed without expecting a reward of some kind. This could be aiding a mother or saving a child from harm. Someone, possibly Elsa since she's likely meant to be the protagonist of the film, will be the only one who notices without him being aware of their presence.

[[WMG: The character/s named Gerda will be determined in Frozen's sequel]]

In Hans Christian Andersen's story 'The Snow Queen' Kai and Gerda are the main characters. Yet in Frozen, they are the names of two servants of the Arendelle Royal Family. However, there may be some misconception of who is Gerda. There is one grey-haired, thin woman who has some dialogue, who is presumably Gerda. There is also a plump, brown-haired woman who appears with Kai lots of the time... perhaps they are both named Gerda.

[[WMG: There will be new characters loosely based upon another Hans Christian Andersen story]]

Obviously, the Little Mermaid is out of the question for this theory, so possibilities could include ''The Nightingale'', ''The Shadow'', ''The Steadfast Tin Soldier'', ''The Wild Swans'', ''The Swineherd'', ''The Elf Mound'', etc.

[[WMG: Hans gets his own ProphecyTwist]]

In the first movie, there were two made by Pabbie. The first was telling Elsa that fear would be her enemy, though it turned out to be her own fear rather than the fear of others. The second was telling Anna that an act of true love would thaw a frozen heart, which turned out to be her giving her own life to save her sister and convince Elsa to embrace love instead loneliness. There may be one that occurs.

He's told by a mysterious figure that he will cut ties with the person who ruined his life and it will lead to him getting what he wants most. At first, he believes the person who ruined him was Queen Elsa, so he attempts to put her in danger to get his father's forgiveness, which is what he thinks he really wants. Instead, his father admits he was counting on Hans dying in a way that would avoid controversy. Completely broken by this revelation, Hans doesn't bother defending himself when his father tries to commit the deed himself, but Elsa saves his life, [[EvilCannotComprehendGood shocking them both]]. [[HeelRealization Now recognizing what he's become]], Hans decides to go into self-exile, but Elsa convinces him to [[TheAtoner seek redemption for what he's done]]. During their adventure, Hans grows fond of her and [[MustMakeAmends helps her, even if he believes he'll never be forgiven]]. Near the end, Hans turns on his father, [[BrokenPedestal realizing HE is the one who ruined his life]], but then his father [[NeverMyFault blames Elsa for turning Hans and his kingdom against him]], causing him to try and murder her. Not wanting her dead, Hans takes the blow for Elsa, mortally wounding him and it leads to his father's potential death. As Hans lays dying, Elsa finally forgives him, which is something he really wanted. Hearing this lets him [[DiedInYourArmsTonight die in her arms]] [[GoOutWithASmile with a look of relief]]. The mysterious figure [[DisneyDeath brings him back to life]], [[RedemptionEarnsLife seeing he's earned a second chance]].

[[WMG: The Existence of Other Magical People]]

The sequel is going to be about the discovery of other people with magic powers like Elsa. These magic-wielding people live in some sort of secret, isolated society until their existence is made known to the sisters, and they decide to visit them, maybe because they are asking for Elsa’s help, or maybe just so that Elsa can meet people who are like her. These people will live far up north near a volcano (because at D23 2017, a video showed the research team taking a trip to Lapland and to Iceland inside a volcano). The villain will be a magic-wielding man of some sort, and the climax will be a battle of the elements between Elsa and the villain.
* In Frozen Broadway, there were characters called the Hidden People who took the place of the trolls. They may make a return in the sequel.

[[WMG: Sven might become anthropomorphised - being able to talk!]]

Sven the reindeer is the underrated animal companion of Kristoff. He is rather clever, for an animal. Elsa and Anna seem to understand the messages given by Sven in a clearer way than Kristoff does, as shown in Olaf's Frozen Adventure [[spoiler: when Olaf gets attacked by wolves, and Sven rushes back to the others and tries to represent the idea that Olaf needs to be found.]]
* Maybe, any other character apart from Kristoff will speak to Sven, and he really replies to them in human speech. However, this needs to be kept as a secret from Kristoff, because he would feel very upset that Sven never genuinely spoke to him before.
* We could learn a lot more about Kristoff and Sven's past life if this happened to Sven.

[[WMG: Olaf develops a lot more skills.]]

Olaf will learn much more than how to read, write or spell. He will serve as a supportive part of Anna and Elsa's bond until their parents return.
* Since Elsa made Olaf, many of his traits have come from what Elsa's actual feelings are. He is happy, full of humour and fun, and so is Elsa.
* Perhaps Olaf can read dreams- and discovers an odd fact. Elsa dreams in colour; Anna dreams in black and white.

* Maybe a kind sorcerer came to bless couples to have children with a special power. Elsa's story may have been that her parents Agdar and Iduna went to the sorcerer, and spoke about the icy weather of 1816 (which is a REAL occurrence, known as the year without summer). They found an unusual beauty in the cold weather, so their first child (Elsa) would have been born in 1817 with icy magic. Their next child (Anna) would have much less noticeable powers.

[[WMG: A new character becomes TheNicknamer]]

He/she/they give the characters nicknames, both to be cute and annoy them, or possibly to compliment them. Here are some examples of what they will likely use.\\
Anna - Sunshine, Red, Red-rage, Princess Smiles\\
Elsa - Blondie, Elsie, Queen Icy, Snowflake\\
Kristoff - Mop Top, Mountain Stench, Ice Guy, Mountain Man, Kris\\
Sven - Antlers, Carrot Breath\\
Olaf - Snowcone, Carrot Nose, Mini Ice, Twig-Arms\\
Hans - Sideburns, Prince Prick, Prince Jerkface, Green Eyes, Green Envy\\
Duke of Weselton - Bald Weasel, Duke Weaselly, Weaseltown\\
Oaken - Facial Hair, Hairy Face, Mustache, Moustache-man, Oaken Julemanden, Inventor\\
The Trolls - Pebbleheads, Rocks\\
Pabbie - Pabs

[[WMG: A comical subplot or RunningGag has Olaf wanting to know where babies come from]]

At one point, Olaf will question how humans make other humans without magic and a mother tries to explain it involves a man and a woman "working together" before something causes her to stop. Because of it, Olaf basically wants someone to give him TheTalk. Either he asks Anna and Kristoff during a possible period where their relationship is on the rocks or, during a possible EnemyMine situation, he asks Elsa and Hans. Regardless of which pair, [[HilarityEnsues awkwardness and uncomfortable attempts to explain to him occur]].

* A sci-fi theme - Perhaps we will see the characters in the present day (Frozen is supposed to be set in 1840s Norway). They would be fossils by now if they were real (and literally frozen), but they would more likely have appeared as spirits or even time travelled.

[[WMG: There could be a reference to [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians Jack Frost]], or AnIcePerson. ]]

Sure, not Disney, but the guy's based on a PublicDomainCharacter. Maybe more will be explained, and Elsa will be intrigued by the tales of his adventures. The film may even give a nod towards a snow queen or an ancestor of hers who had ice powers too.
* There could also be a reference to AnIcePerson other than Jack Frost.
Following on from previous WMG s, the film will establish that there have been other people similar to Elsa in the past. Maybe more will be explained about that book leading to the trolls, which Elsa's father picked up from their castle's library.

The full-length sequel of ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' is currently underway; its exact title has not yet been revealed. It will premiere on 22nd November 2019. Many of the original cast from the 2013 film will return, and new songs will be featured. Some new characters have been added, and an extra screenwriter is involved in the project. Although plot details have not been disclosed, this WMG page builds on some fan ideas and theories.
