The Main Duo: Hiccup and Toothless
Jay Baruchel as Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
At the helm of our Viking crew is the brilliant and resourceful Hiccup, voiced by Jay Baruchel in the animated series and now taking on the live-action role. Jay, known for his comedic roles in films like "Tropic Thunder" and "This Is the End," brings a perfect blend of humor and heart to Hiccup. As the young Viking who first discovers that dragons can be befriended, Hiccup's journey is one of growth and self-discovery, and we can't wait to see Jay bring this iconic character to life.
America Ferrera as Toothless
That's right, folks! The beloved Night Fury dragon, Toothless, will be brought to life in a unique way in the live-action film. Instead of being a CGI creation, Toothless will be played by none other than America Ferrera! America, known for her roles in "Ugly Betty" and "Real Women Have Curves," will provide the voice and motion capture for the sleek black dragon. This innovative approach promises an even more intimate connection between Hiccup and his faithful companion.
The Vikings of Berk
Gerard Butler as Stoick the Vast
Taking on the role of Stoick the Vast, the formidable and proud chief of the Hairy Hooligans, is Gerard Butler. Gerard, known for his powerful performances in films like "300" and "The Bounty Hunter," will bring a new level of intensity and charisma to Hiccup's father. Stoick's relationship with Hiccup is one of the central storylines in the series, and we're excited to see Gerard explore the depth and complexity of this father-son bond.
Cate Blanchett as Valka
In a casting choice that has fans buzzing with excitement, Valka, Hiccup's long-lost mother, will be played by the incredibly talented Cate Blanchett. Cate, an Academy Award winner known for her roles in "Lord of the Rings" and "Blue Jasmine," will bring a unique blend of strength, warmth, and wisdom to Valka. As the dragon whisperer who has spent years living among the dragons on a hidden island, Valka's reunion with Hiccup and Stoick is sure to be a emotional and powerful moment in the film.
The Dragon Riders
Kit Harington as Eret, Son of Eret
Joining the cast as Eret, Son of Eret, the cunning and ambitious leader of the Outcasts, is Game of Thrones star Kit Harington. Kit, known for his role as Jon Snow in the hit HBO series, will bring a new level of intensity and charisma to the live-action adaptation. As the rival to Hiccup and his fellow dragon riders, Eret's complex motivations and ultimate redemption arc promise to be a compelling storyline in the film.
Filipe Valle Costa as Snotlout
Rounding out the main cast is Snotlout, the boisterous and often clumsy Viking warrior, played by Brazilian actor Filipe Valle Costa. Filipe, known for his roles in "Elite" and "The Platform," will bring a unique blend of humor and heart to Snotlout. As one of Hiccup's closest friends and fellow dragon riders, Snotlout's growth and development throughout the series is sure to be a fan-favorite storyline in the live-action film.
The Dragons
In addition to Toothless, the live-action adaptation will feature a host of other dragons from the animated series, brought to life through stunning visual effects. From the gentle Deadly Nadder to the fierce Monstrous Nightmare, each dragon will play a unique role in the story and bring their own brand of charm and personality to the film.
The World of Berk
Set against the backdrop of the rugged and beautiful Viking island of Berk, the live-action adaptation promises to be a visual feast for the eyes. With its towering cliffs, lush forests, and sprawling dragon lairs, Berk is a world unto itself, and we can't wait to see it brought to life on the big screen.
