How to Train Your Dragon’s liv🦩e-action remake has its two human leads – including one who will be familiar 🦋to fans of The Last of Us.

As per , Mason Thames (The Black Phone) will play franchise l🐻ead Hiccup, a Viking teenager who befriends a dragon named Toothless – despite wanting ♉to become a dragon slayer himself.

Nico Parker will star alongside him as Hiccup’s classmate Astrid. She previously appeared as Joel’s daughter Sarah in a memorable turn during 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us premiere.

How to Train Your Dragon is set to fly into cinemas on March 14, 2025. It will be ▨based on tౠhe wildly-popular DreamWorks franchise – which spawned a billion-dollar trilogy, encompassing video games, stage shows, and a TV series. Dean DeBlois, who co-directed and co-wrote the original 2010 screenplay, will be back to helm the project and pen the script.

It follows on from a recent trend – mostly led by Disney – of animated classics being given the remake treatment. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Little Mermaid has proved a success at the box office, with Moana and Lilo & Stitch making the leap from animation to live-action in cinemas. Other Disney movies, such as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Beauty and the Beast and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Lion King, have also been given 21st Century makeovers✅ that have proved wildly successful.

On the animation side of things, DreamWorks still has multiple projects in the works – including Kung Fu Panda 4, Madagascar 4, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a fifth Shrek movie.
