If you don’t know or forgot, Eret is “the cocky, boastful and self-proclaimed ‘finest dragon trapper alive.’”
Phil is the third new addition to the upcoming sequel, following Cate Blanchett returning to her role as Hiccup’s long-lost mother Valka from the animated movie, and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, who will play the villainous Drago, per Deadline.
How to Train Your Dragon 2 picks up “five years after the two have successfully united dragons and vikings on the island of Berk. While Astrid, Snoutlout and the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the island’s new favorite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new worlds. When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace. Now, Hiccup and Toothless must unite to stand up for what they believe while recognizing that only together do they have the power to change the future of both men and dragons.”
Mason Thames, Nico Parker, Gerard Butler and more are set to reprise their roles.
