According to TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich, the producers of Once Upon a Time are currently in the process of casting the roles of Elsa, Anna and Kristoff from the movie Frozen for Once Upon a Time's upcoming fourth season. The character Elsa will appear in approximately nine episodes, with the other characters appearing in slightly less than nine episodes. Here's an excerpt from the article, which includes the casting breakdowns for those characters:
ELSA | The Queen of Arendelle, this late-20s/early-30s beauty long struggled to control her “chilling” powers and even unleashed upon her town an eternal winter during her coronation. Ultimately, she realized that the key to controlling her powers is love — namely, her bond with sister Anna — and now she is aware of the threat she poses if she were to lose control of her magic again (in which instance Vancouver weather could rival Winnipeg’s!)
ANNA | Elsa’s slightly younger sister is a fun-loving, fearless optimist who often gets herself into situations where she is in over her head, yet is able to triumph due to her resourcefulness and can-do spirit. She values her relationship with her sister above all else.
KRISTOFF | This handsome, hearty, salt-of-the-earth ice cutter spent most of his life alone (unless you count his reindeer). He has a sometimes-gruff demeanor that can hide his deep love for Anna and her sister Elsa. When we first meet Kristoff on Once, he is adjusting to life at the castle — including sleeping indoors for the first time in his life.

My thoughts: As I said in my review of the season 3 finale of Once Upon a Time (My thoughts on episode 3x21 “Snow Drifts” and episode 3x22 “There's No Place Like Home”), I'm going to try and keep an open mind about the producers deciding to incorporate characters from the movie Frozen into the show, but I'm definitely not very happy about it at the moment. The whole thing seems like a desperate crash grab and a ratings stunt on Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz's part. After all, the ratings aren't what they used to be. Plus, it also only adds to my belief that they don't have a real concrete plan for the show and are just making things up as they go along. I know that a big part of why they decided to incorporate characters from Frozen into the show is because they along with their families are big fans of the movie and the movie is extremely popular right now. That doesn't mean that incorporating characters from Frozen into the show is a good idea. I was already starting to lose faith in the producers before the decision to incorporate characters from Frozen into the show next season was announced, and this whole thing definitely hasn't helped restore my faith in them.
