After Idina Menzel confirms that the sequel to the Disney animated film "Frozen" is indeed in the works, rumors about a new leading star surfaces online. "Hunger Games" actor Jennifer Lawrence is said to take on Anna's character come "Frozen 2" release date?

In the latest "Hunger Games" film, Jennifer Lawrence who portrays lead character Katniss Everdeen showcases her singing voice and rumors that she will take over Queen Elsa's voice in "Frozen 2" have grown louder than ever.

In a report by OK! Magazine, an insider reportedly revealed that "Jen's husky rendition of 'The Hanging Tree' in 'Mockingjay Part 1' surprised everyone. Now execs [at Disney] think she could be the new Kristen Bell." While there have been no comments from Disney about Jennifer Lawrence's involvement in the upcoming "Frozen 2", it has been confirmed that indeed development is ongoing.

Idina Menzel spoke to UK's Telegraph late last year and confirmed that "Frozen 2" and a stage musical is in the works. She said that "they're all in the works." However, both she and co-voice actor Kristen Bell remain unsure whether they will reprise their roles as Queen Elsa and Anna, respectively.

In the same interview, Menzel commented, "Ah yeah, sure... Not the stage show-I don't know what will happen with that-but the movie hopefully. We'll see. I'm just going along for the ride."

Prior to Jennifer Lawrence being connected to "Frozen 2", "Into the Woods" actress Emily Blunt was initially rumored to take on Kristen Bell's character. Cinemablend reports Emily Blunt's response to the rumors to which she said, "No, no! That [series] is for my friend Kristen Bell, who just crushed it, and I am so happy for her. So no. I don't know. There's just never going to be another Elsa and an Anna."

Meanwhile, an animated short film "Frozen Fever" returns with both Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell reprising their roles together with Jonathan Groff and Josh Gad. "Frozen Fever" release date has been set on March 13, 2015.
