How to Train Your Dragon is returning soon with its fourth movie, and we couldn’t be more excited about the upcoming live-action. Even though the film will retell the story of the first How to Train Your Dragon movie, everyone is still thrilled to see this fantastic story coming to life in the form of a live-action. It will feature a great cast, so be ready to see incredible performances. However, a few fans may want to know who exactly is cast for the movie and what characters they’ll play on the screen. Well, here’s the entire cast of How To Train Your Dragon 4.
1. Mason Thames as Hiccup Horrendous
Hiccup is the lead character in the How To Train Your Dragon franchise. He is the innovative son of the former Hooligan Chief Stoick the Vast. Hiccup is a compassionate boy who is often seen as a nuisance by the people around him. That’s because he was more inclined toward inventing machines instead of hunting dragons. However, one day, he encounters a Night Fury dragon, Toothless, but instead of killing him, the boy befriends him. Hiccup also manages to end the long-lasting enmity between the Vikings and the Dragons.
In the animated film, Hiccup was voiced by Jay Baruchel, and in the upcoming film, we will see the American actor Mason Thames stepping into the shoes of the prominent character. The actor has previously blessed the industry with several amazing projects, but he is mainly recognized for his work in the 2021 horror film The Black Phone.
2. Gerard Butler as Stoick the Vast
Stoick the Vast is Hiccup’s father, who is also the leader of the Vikings. He doesn’t have any love for his son as he thinks that Hiccup is good for nothing. Like every other Viking, he also believes his son to be a nuisance. In the first two films, Stoick is seen riding two different dragons, and he also sacrifices himself to protect his son in the second film. That was the only instance that proved Stoick’s love for his son.
Gerard James Butler is a 55-year-old Scottish actor who lent his voice to Stoick in the animated film. The actor will now return to play the same character in How to Train Your Dragon 4. Fans remember him for his appearances in Dracula, Tomorrow Never Dies, and Tale of the Mummy.
