The HowToTrainYourDragon remake is set to bring Hiccup and Astrid to life with these actors from TheBlackPhone and TheLastOfUs.
As the already highly anticipated live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon takes shape, we can start getting hyped up with some exciting news: Universal has chosen the two lead actors who are set to play Hiccup and Astrid. The Black Phone's Mason Thames and The Last of Us breakout star Nico Parker are getting their Viking helmets ready to embark on the dragon-filled adventure.
Parker’s name became prominent after she played Pedro Pascal’s daughter Sarah Miller in the debut episode and then again in Episode 6, titled “Kin” – which was widely considered one of the best episodes of the series. She’s also the daughter of popular actor Thandiwe Newton . Aside from sharing the scene in Ethan Hawke’s first movie as a villain, Thames was also in Apple TV+’s sci-fi series For All Mankind.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Thames will have to exercise his range as an actor since he’ll spend most of the time interacting with a CGI Toothless dragon. He will also touch on some sensitive subjects if the live-action adaptation chooses to go down the same path as the DreamWorks animation did back when it premiered in 2010. In the story, Hiccup is the son of a mighty Viking who is reluctant to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a dragon slayer.
What Is How to Train Your Dragon About? How to Train Your Dragon is based on a novel series of the same name written by author Cressida Cowell. The animated film series was highly popular and widely acclaimed, especially for its ability to handle darker themes and up the stakes for its main characters. The film series spawned a slate of animated series, the most recent called Dragons: The Nine Realms.
How to Train Your Dragon is currently slated for a March 14, 2025 release date, stay tuned at Collider for further updates and everything we know about the live-action remake.
