Casting for the project reportedly took months, seeking actors who would be able to grow into the roles as the franchise developed; as THR pointed out, “How to Train Your Dragon” was unique in that each sequel jumped ahead to advance the age of the characters.
In the animated films, Hiccup and Astrid were voiced by Jay Baruchel and America Ferrera, respectively.
The film has been given a release date of March 14, 2025, with production scheduled to take place this summer.
