This just in-
that live-action “How to Train Your Dragon” project just announced some pretty big casting news. Gerard Butler, who voiced Stoick the Vast across the films, will reprise the character for the film!!
He’ll join Mason Thames (“The Black Phone“) who is playing Hiccup, and Nico Parker (“The Last of Us“) who is playing Astrid. Dean DeBlois will direct.
Last we heard, the film had been delayed from it’s original March 14th, 2025 release to June 13th, 2025.
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
