Here’s a new photo from Universal Pictures’ live-action film adaptation of How to train your dragon and presents Mason Thames (The black phone) like Hiccup, and Nico Parker (The last of us) as Astrid.
The film comes from the director Dean DeBloiswho directed all three animated films along with the co-director Chris Sanders about the first film.
When talking about Hiccup, DeBlois says the character “represents all the wackiness out there, and there are a lot of us.”
Of casting Thames as Hiccup, DeBlois said, “There was a little bit of awkwardness, but also a vulnerability in him that [came] with the fact that he was 15 when we auditioned him.
The film is also the protagonist Gerardo Butler as Stoick the Vast, the leader of the Viking clan and Hiccup’s father, and Nick Frost (Dawn of the Dead, Hot fuzz) as the Viking called Gobber the Belch, Stoick’s trusted friend and advisor.
Using the books of Cressida Cowell as a starting point, How to train your dragon focuses on the special friendship between a young and unheroic Viking boy named Hiccup and Toothless, an injured dragon who he nurses back to health.
The films chronicled Hiccup and Toothless’ quest to combat humanity’s prejudices against dragons, the pain of overcoming the loss of a parent, and first love.
The live-action film will be released on June 13, 2025.
