The cast of the new live-action “How to Train Your Dragon” (Gerard Butler, Nick Frost, Nico Parker, Mason Thames, Julian Dennison, Harry Trevaldwyn, Bronwyn James, and Gabriel Howell) as well as writer/director Dean DeBlois sat down with CinemaBlend to talk about the new blockbuster! Watch us set up a meeting between Nico Parker and Mason Thames with the original Hiccup and Astrid, Jay Baruchel and America Ferrera. We also talk about how Gerard Butler was almost replaced for the new film, what the cast is most excited to tackle in the sequel, how Toothless is shamelessly meant to remind us of our dogs, and much, much more.
