Gerard Butler Returns

Actor Gerard Butler, who voiced Stoick the Vast, the chieftain of Berk and Hiccup’s father in the animated films, will be reprising his role in the live-action remake. Speaking about the project, Butler shared:

"It has been a joy to be part of these movies, to tell these stories, and to see them resonate with audiences. To work with Dean DeBlois and this incredible team, and then to see it come to life—it’s magical. Part of the reason I got into this business was to help bring magical worlds and ideas to audiences, to entice them and maybe even inspire them in their own lives."
