Posters give differing timings (immediately, or after the Villain would have triggered); the start-of-turn reading is the best-supported.

At the very start of the affected player's next turn, before Step 1. The frozen Villain is active again from that turn's Step 2, so the spell does not block the Villain effects that trigger in Step 2. The freeze also does not protect the caster from start-of-turn effects.
