Just three months after the live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon was announced, the cast is starting to come together.
Mason Thames (The Black Phone) and Nico Parker (The Last of Us) have signed on to play Hiccup and Astrid, respectively, via The Hollywood Reporter.
Jay Baruchel and America Ferrera lent their voices to Hiccup and Astrid in the animated trilogy How to Train Your Dragon (2010), How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019).
The original trilogy was loosely based on the children's book series of the same name written by Cressida Cowell, which spanned 12 books published between 2003 and 2012.
The story is set on the Viking island of Berk, where the tradition is for each boy to find and slay a dragon.
