Every princess (or queen) has a nemesis. Jasmine has Jafar, Ariel has Ursula, and Anna has Hans. The thing that set Hans apart from the other villains is that even though that Frozen (like most disney movies) is set in a magical realm, Hans pocesses no magical powers (whether that’s good or bad really depends on who you are talking to). With this and fact that Elsa has no nemesis to speak of in mind, the thougt of the perfect canidate. Allow me to introduce you to…
SKOLL
Origin
According to Norwegian lore, Skoll is a wolf that tries to devour the sun. If he does, it will cause the world to be enveloped in eternal darkness. Anybody who would try to destroy the sun can’t be a good person. So, with this and expaneded lore of spirits in the Frozen franchise, why not make him villain.
Role in the Franchise
In the Frozen universe, Skoll would have to be the spirit of darkness and a villain simliar to The Lion King’s Scar. Cunning, manipulative, and a bit envious of the other spirits of the enchanted forest, he believe that by destroying the sun, he would be king of world. But in order to do that, he would need to get Elsa onto his side and use her to freeze the sun. Because what goes better with cold than dark. He would have to manipulate Elsa by reminding her how dangerous she can be and offer his help. Of course, Anna (learning from her experience with Hans) dosen’t trust the smooth-talking spirit for a second which give Skoll the opportunity to drive a wedge between the sisters. Of course, Elsa would learn he was lying the whole time and that he was the one that mainpulated her grandfather into killing the Northuldra leader in the first place. She would have to defeat Skoll in order to save her family as well as the world.
Voice
Since Skoll has similarities of Scar, his voice work should match that of Jeremy Irons. It must be suave yet can off as menacing.
With this in mind, we can deduce that Benedict Cumberbatch would be one good choice. Othed than playing Doctor Strange, Cumberbatch is no stranger to voice acting lending his voice to other monstrous characters such as Smaug from The Hobbit series, Shere Khan from Warner Bros. rendition of The Jungle Book and Dormammu, the greater-scope villain from Doctor Strange.
Another good choice would be Gary Oldman. An actor who is not afraid of being a large ham when it come to being the villain like Lord Shen from Kung Fu Panda, the crazy person like Sirius Black in Harry Potter or a bit of both like Ruber from Quest for Camelot. Oldman can add a bit of insanity to Skoll and give him that sudtle over-the-top persona, which is a very popular quality among other disney villains.
