Josh Gad put up a picture (above), featuring himself with an Olaf plushie, director Jennifer Lee (right), co director Trent Correy (far right) and Christina W. Chen (left) all in front of a giant Olaf concept art in what I assume is in Walt Disney Animation Studios.

The song choice for his post is 'Back in High life again' by Steve Winwood. I know that means literally nothing to Frozen but the context, to me, it's Gad expressing his excitement to be brought back to life by voicing Olaf once again.
Kristen Bell had teased us months ago that voice production would begin soon and now that soon has become a now!
And we had recently found out that Trent Correy was the new co-director of Frozen 3 with Jennifer Lee!
Like Trent Correy, Christina W. Chen is also familiar with working on the franchise. She was the Production Finance Manager for Frozen 2. I can't find out what her role in Frozen 3 is yet but given her presence amongst the directors and a main character voice actor, I assume it's important and big.
Santino Fontana (Hans) has liked the post. Could we be getting Hans' long awaited return in the franchise?
I mean 5 years ago, in an online interview on 'Stars in the House with Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley' on YouTube, Josh Gad jokes that he wouldn't do Frozen 3 without Santino Fontana. The interview featured Bobby Lopez, Kristen Lopez, Josh Gad, Jonathan Groff and Santino Fontana. So what if that wasn't really a joke and Gad may have convinced the team to bring back Hans. Just saying...
Evan Rachel Woods (Iduna) and Rachel Lynn Mathews (Honeymaren) have also liked the post. Again it could mean nothing. But in the scenario it does, Iduna now has a major role in the lore being connected to Northuldra, the spirits and Ahtohallan and Honeymaren could make another appearance but I wouldn't expect a major role due the Sami deal with Disney.
Based on this post, Idina Menzel (Elsa), and Kristen Bell (Anna) are expected to share a post on beginning voice production. Jonathan Groff doesn't have Instagram (unsure what platform he has) but I'm sure he'll also confirm his return in a way.
But in other news the amount of Wonder Man means on X and in the comments of his Instagram post is so hilarious but cute that people actually care for him lol 😭😭
