See who’s playing who in the “How to Train Your Dragon ”live-action film

Gerard Butler, Nick Frost, and more are putting on their viking caps for the live-action remake of the DreamWorks classic.

A new How to Train Your Dragon is getting ready to take flight — in live action.

Following the recent wave of live action remakes of animated Disney projects — some of which, like Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin, have grossed over $1 billion at the global box office — Universal is producing the very first live action remake of a DreamWorks animated movie. Dean DeBlois, who directed the original 2010 How to Train Your Dragon, will helm the live action remake, currently set to release on June 13, 2025.

Here's who’s playing who in the live action How to Train Your Dragon.

Mason Thames as Hiccup

Mason Thames, who led The Black Phone alongside Ethan Hawke, is set to play protagonist Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, a young blacksmith apprentice who befriends the dangerous dragon Toothless despite the wishes of his father, the village chief. Jay Baruchel voiced Hiccup in the animated movies.

Nico Parker as Astrid

Dumbo and The Last of Us star Nico Parker will portray Astrid Hofferson, Hiccup’s spunky love interest. Astrid was voiced by America Ferrera in the animated trilogy. Parker is the daughter of Thandiwe Newton and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again director Ol Parker.

Gerard Butler as Stoick

300 and Olympus Has Fallen star Gerard Butler will play Stoick the Vast, the courageous leader of Berk and the distant father of Hiccup. Butler also voiced Stoick in the animated movies, and he’s the only cast member to date to reprise his role from the original movies in live action.

Gabriel Howell as Snotlout
