Director Dean DeBlois is expressing optimism that one of the actors from the animated “How to Train Your Dragon 2” film may take on their character again for the live-action follow-up.
This weekend, the live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon will hit US theaters! This movie is helmed by DeBlois, who previously co-directed the 2010 animated film with Chris Sanders. After that initial animation, there were two sequels: How to Train Your Dragon 2 in 2014 and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World in 2019.
A live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon 2 has been officially confirmed. It’s set to release on June 11, 2027.
What did Dean DeBlois say about How to Train Your Dragon 2?
As a passionate fan, I’m eagerly expressing my hope that the talented Cate Blanchett might consider reprising her role as Valka Haddock in the upcoming live-action adaptation. Previously, she brought this character to life with her mesmerizing voice in both animated sequels.
He expressed optimism as well, acknowledging it’s still quite early. “I believe she might be holding out for a script,” he mentioned. “However, I’ve been persistently trying my luck. I crafted the character of Valka with her in mind, so I made sure to inform her that she gets the first refusal.
DeBlois additionally commented on the sequel, “Indeed, in the second film, exploring the concept of Toothless being militarized and turning against Hiccup and Stoic intervening in such a significant way, that’s quite a profound moment. It was intense even for animation. I believe it will become even more impactful in live action, which excites me as well, since there’s something about the second movie that resonates deeply with fans due to its tougher themes and darker, broader scope. I’m currently writing, but rest assured, I’ll complete it.
How to Train Your Dragon hits theaters on June 13, 2025, from Universal Pictures.
