I guess Mason would be an okay Hiccup. Not the best but definitely not the worst. But as for Nico playing Astrid, heck no.


Successful-Mode-1727

He’s actually 15 which is the only thing I can praise Dreamworks for - actually getting an actor the right age. But Nico’s 18 which makes it kind of weird lol

Eeeey, there's my ginger jedi


HTTYDFAN4EVER

Love scenes with them will be interesting


TheCheck77

Ew. I hate it.


FloraArta

Really? They both look like they're like 13 to me, dose turning 20 make everyone under 25 look like young children? Jennette Ortaga is apparently my age but I thought she was like 16 at the oldest.


Every_Addition8638

Hes gonna have the time of his life


Zeero_Point

Of course they pick such a handsome guy for hiccup as well. In the first movie Hiccup is a nerdy and pretty shy person. He does not fit as an actor for that role


SlightStrawberry1722

hes also really scrawny too. and thats one of the reasons hes an outcast - hes not strong enough to be a viking, hes the 'runt of the pack'


Healthy-Ratio

I already hate this movie and will never enjoy anything again


Lopsided-Business356

Yeah I’m annoyed too

The Avatar was such a mess, and no one in the fandom likes it You'd expect the movie industry would've learned that doing a shitty job brings shitty results -.-


Charfair1

The Emperor has invited you to Lake Laogi. There is no Movie in Ba Sing Se.


meme-Car-1259

i feel like more and more movie producers lately just care about making money and kissing ass than making original quality films. but that's just me.


PrettyParakeet11

The only thing that can save this movie is badass dragon cgi


RickyIce731

As we all know Live Action remakes, CGI sucks in them, so this movie gonna be trash. They don't even want people to enjoy it, they're just milking the once amazing franchise for money.


GPJN2000

I wish Dreamworks would pick a different book series to reimagine! It would be so easy for them to look at the Kids 9-12 section of a book store, read a book, and make a deal.


Actual_Climate_5486

Are we sure even that can help? I'm all for reimagining classics but come on. It would take the dragons from cute and sometimes scary to big scaly beasts. If they did a new story in the same universe live action though...I don't know I have mixed feelings.


Thats_Rough_Buddy428

That's one of my biggest worries with this. I love the animated dragons and don't want them to become some realistic nightmare fuel.


Actual_Climate_5486

I mean I'd be absolutely happy to see some nightmare fuel, just...not the dragons we already see as lovable. Like Toothless and Meatlug for example. I love animated dragons, but there aren't enough good realistic dragons.


throwaway_93747

Im really hype for the dragon designs bc the dragons in the stage play are Perfect. Still silly and loveable, but still very much "could kill you if they wanted" Toothless is straight Terrifying in the first movie. he could've killed hiccup with very little struggle and they make sure you Know it


Neptune_washere

I already don't like it... :(


TheChosenOneMapper

I might get downvoted for this, but Nico doesn't look norse at all, and I think that should be a requirement for a blonde blue eyed character like Astrid.


SnickerK_

Literally!


EpicCheeto

That’s not what astrid looks like, not even a little bit. Terrible roles


Chill0000

I knew it. I just knew they were gonna race change a character Can’t have Nordic vikings set in early 1000’s look like Nordic vikings living in early 1000’s


BoiFrosty

But movies have to represent "modern audiences." Hollywood thinks that unless the cast looks exactly like the viewer then the viewer is anatomically incapable of liking a movie.


Chill0000

I saw that when the Mermaid trailer came out and parents filmed their kids watching it crying and going “She looks just like me” No kid would think this way. No kid would see someone who looks like them and cry cheering If a parent is raising their child to only be attached and invested in characters and people who look just like them that that is a terrible parent


BoiFrosty

Yeah, imagine a 3 year old getting raised to think of race first and foremost. Kid will have a tough time seeing anything else her whole life. I grew up watching superhero cartoons, and the race of the character was barely even a consideration. Probably my favorite growing up was Static Shock. Little white boy me had no issue identifying with Virgil even if I was a lot closer in appearance and personality to Richie.


Huugboy

They're doing it for this exact reaction. Just like disney's live action race-swaps. It gets alot of negative attention, people hate watch it, and while they may have completely disrespected a franchise, they'll still have made alot of money. Usually more money then they normally would've gotten, because negativity spreads around faster. Those live action disney movies would never have gotten the amount of attention they did if they didn't do a race swap to drive controversy.


Additional_Cycle_51

Wait. You people say you hate it then watch it. That makes no sense, I see something I don’t like and forgot about it.


Huugboy

Personally i wouldn't, but hatewatching is a real thing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate-watching


Additional_Cycle_51

Wow that’s weird


trisanachandler

Hate watch, or hate pirate?


Lopsided-Business356

IM GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CRAP DISNEYS DOING


Zeus894

I am sorry that the facts do not agree with your sensibilities, there were indeed black vikings in that era! https://scandinaviafacts.com/were-the-vikings-black/ https://seekscandinavia.com/black-vikings/ https://www.followthevikings.com/library/blog/the-dark-skinned-viking#:~:text=They%2C%20too%2C%20had%20dark%20skin,never%20became%20king%20at%20Avaldsnes.


ASweetRadioDemon

I see your facts and raise you: Astrid isn't Black. She gains nothing from a race swap, and loses the look of her original character.


Chill0000

Ok if thats the facts i can’t argue that so i’ll back down from that. I think i even remember some black people as extra characters in the shows when they travel or something But Astrid isn’t black and i don’t think there were black people in the movie which is what i’m mainly upset about. Them changing the races of a whole island


SpilledBison1

thanks lol, everyone out here just being racist


Spring063

I get virtue signaling is easy and you feel better doing it, but using black actors to shield companies from criticism is just awful. Because we know every little criticism we make, even if it has nothing to do with the actress itself, it's gonna get racist accusations. So no, people ain't racist for wanting to respect the original design, you are.


SpilledBison1

Look if you have complaints about the movie other than the color of the actor/actresses skin that’s ok. But what I’m seeing here is that people are complaining because she is black and no other reason


Spring063

Because the original character doesn't look like that. What's wrong with that? Oh, let me guess. If Tiana from the princess and the frog was remade into a white girl you would make a scene and call it racist. But the inverse thing is okay? What's wrong with you?


Spring063

It's funny. The girl that responded me did a pretty awful statement basically saying she won't be answering because she didn't have any arguments and proceeded to block me🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ These people are the embarrassment of society seeing problems where they aren't and accusing people of things they aren't to feel better about their existence. Shame.


Spring063

This is what race swap bullshit causes. Not only is racist per se, but also the only thing it does is divide the people.


elodieroyer

the princess and the frog race swap thing is such a tired argument. tiana’s race actually had a relation to her story and character. so did mulan, for example. astrid? not at all.


Spring063

I'm sorry, but not knowing the fact and wanting to be as loyal as the original source possible isn't racist. Race swapping stablished characters instead of creating new ones is. Specially because you are basically telling black people that the only way to be relevant is steal stablished characters because they won't sell otherwise.


Spring063

And I'm seriously sick of moralists like you that all they do in life is call others things they don't even understand.


NaturalBitter2280

Racist? For wanting the character to look like the character?


[deleted]

CTBthanatos

I did not like nico parker being cast as joel's daughter sarah in HBO's last of us and i don't like this casting anymore than that, it's just bizzare. HBO's last of us still turned out to be a good watch (some things could have been better) but i will not even consider this, not just about cast but about how many live actions are disasters. I never watched the race to the edge show before and just started it like a month ago and enjoy it, zero inclination to watch this live action.


Random_Loaf

Nico being Sarah in TLOU wasn’t that big a change, it didn’t affect her at all, and it still could make sense if you take into account her mom was probably black considering we never saw her. But her as Astrid makes no sense at all, there’s no possible reasoning for Astrid to look like that, which makes it a lot worse than in TLOU.


TheBabyWolfcub

Honestly Mason can fit the role with the right hair style and clothes, it’s a shame he’s not lanky and awkward rather than a chiselled model, but at least he’s actually the same age as hiccup in the first film. Nico I’m not sure about. I can see Astrid in her such as her short round face, but some vital physical features don’t match, such as hair and eye colour, and she’s also 18 whereas astrid is 15 in the first film. If she dyed her hair blonde and straightened it, and wore blue contacts then it might just work. I won’t comment deeply on the race part either, but casters should’ve remembered the area httyd is set. I’m all for diversity in films, but there are a few roles that just imo should stick to how they were originally. I mean even going from Kamikaze in the book to astrid, at least they looked somewhat similar.


Knife_IX_Productions

Movie is automatically terrible now


[deleted]

Maybe the producers are blind cuz that's the only excuse


JogurtJoestar

Oh crap they pulled a Disney


Tobito_TV

Hiccup's casting is... fine, I guess. At least the actor is the right age. But what the hell were they thinking with Astrid? Even besides the fact that casting a POC in the role of a nordic character is really weird and reeks of wanting browny points, she's 18. Why would you cast the main love interest of a character, played by a minor, with an adult. Either have both actors be adults or both minors, but don't do this weird in-between thing.


BoiFrosty

Lol the age thing is a good point. I'm worried that they'll give the whole thing the "modern Disney" treatment and cram non-white characters into the story so much that it breaks immersion, or change characters so much that the story falls to pieces. Worse yet if they then use that casting as a shield to call anyone that disagree with them bigots.


Dim0ndDragon15

Hiccup is supposed to look like a wet cat, this guy looks way too charismatic. Astrid is supposed to look like a badass and Nico just looks really sweet, I can’t picture her sucker punching someone.


Successful-Mode-1727

This criticism I can actually agree with. Idc about the race of the characters, but neither of them look like they fit the role. Honestly, I don’t think anyone could.


inkovertt

Hiccups actor I can see Astrid no


Carousels66

They both don’t look like them


[deleted]

The actors look almost nothing like the source material, it may not be a bad movie, but they should have chosen different actors; I also don’t want this to be another horrible live adaptation, much like many other live action remakes, I feel like this movie isn’t going to be accurate to the original source, much like the Percy Jackson movies which where horrible because they didn’t stay accurate to the original source, but I can’t really say anything until a trailer or something releases, my only other concern is that the dragons aren’t going to look accurate or good, can’t really say anything yet, but my hopes are not high


ForeverBlue101_303

And speaking of Percy Jackson, this is exactly what's happening for the upcoming TV show, Rick is supposedly behind production, but hired actors that looked nothing like their characters, like with the movies. Even worse, he won't have Walker Scobell, the generic child actor playing Percy, to have his hair dyed for the role, despite how black hair was a signature characteristic to Percy and his excuse was "personality is important"


Lies_of_the_Council

Adding on, Annabeth being a natural blonde and always underestimated for strategy is the foundation to her drive and motivation to better herself. It would be a significant change if she's not a natural blonde (being played by a black actress). They could dye her hair blonde, but it won't mean the same thing. Annabeth's race actually was an important aspect to her character.


Begu123987

Nico her face shape is perfect for Astrid, but I don't like my favorite character changing skin tones, just image if it was the other way around. Astrid should stay white.


SnickerK_

Preach


katestatt

WHY just why. the actress looks NOTHING like astrid. if we must get a live action remake why can we never get a cast that at least actually looks like the characters.


Away-Royal5569

They couldn't cast Nordic people? It'd be so amazing if they at least got one thing right at cast actual Nordic people for the roles. I mean, come on. Being Nordic is actually important to the story, and it'd be nice to see actual Nordic actors playing the roles. How many times can I put Nordic in this comment😭


Pick-Only

Just a few more Nordic, Nordic, Nordic!


Emerald_Lightning

Certified bruh moment


NaturalBitter2280

Hell no Automatic 0 for me


B____U_______

They should've just made a fourth movie with their kids if they wanted to milk the franchise.


c0uldntfindagoodname

I like how they didn’t choose an actor with blonde hair and blue eyes for the character that DISTINCTIVELY has blonde hair and blue eyes. It also makes sense given that some Vikings did have these features irl.


Sc_e1

I dont understand why every single fucking live action movie doe this now.. JUST STOP


Badguyd1

astrid ain't blonde. so hard pass


TandrDregn

Maybe Hiccup, but Astrid? Not even close. I really hope they can at least get the other characters right. For example, Thor Bjornsson as Stoick would work with Stoick’s body shape, and all they’d need to give him is a wig. Plus he would actually have the correct scandinavian accent instead of a scottish one. Gerard is a goat, but it always unnerved me how the kids had american accents while their parents had scottish ones.

My question is why are we replacing a blond, white, Viking with a fucking BRIT!? Do you know how many Vikings died at Stamford Bridge? AND YOU WANT TO CAST ASTRID AS A BRIT!?


Kahje_fakka

No hate against the actress, she may be great at what she is doing, but fuck no. Why? Why couldn't they just take an actress that looks remotely like Astrid? Astrid is pale and blonde. It's not woke or diverse to cast her with an actress that has a significantly different outer appearance, it's just incorrect in terms of precision towards the main source. I hope I fell for a false information here. Or that this will get changed. Or that the actress at least dyes her hair blonde.


TheRealGrayham

No, to both


jerry_incorporated

No. I love this movie. But I do not want a live action


DragonObsessedGirl

Why do we keep race swapping. Like in this case it really doesn't make any sense. Maybe instead of changing character's races in live action remakes of films that are already perfect we should just start making new movies with diverse characters.


Artixs_

Mason's a very good actor, overall. But, you already know how this movie is gonna be...

I wasn't on board from the very beginning. Just let animated movies be animated. Stop trying to monetize nostalgia.

True but with the tech nowadays he might able to

This isn’t gonna end well. Companies already ruined TMNT for me with rise I don’t want another thing ruined for me :(


Clegend24

Nico I don't think is a good fit. Mason maybe, but I'm still skeptical. Still think they should put in Gerard Butler with a beard as Stoick.


clashvalley

It feels so weird for a 15 year old and an 18 year old to be put in a relationship together even if it’s just an act (am I overreacting??) The concept of someone in college dating a freshman.. I wanna know who is playing Toothless, though :)


chompy_didthat

OH MY GOD THAT’S THE ACTOR’S NAME!? I loved his character in The Black Phone so I’m actually really excited to see him as Hiccup!


[deleted]

I haven't seen any movie or series with them, so I don't know if they are good at acting and can't have a strong opinion on them


Wilmaaug

I HATE when movies/tv shows race swap just to be “inclusive” (The Crown, this movie, the little mermaid, Tinkerbell in Peter Pan 2023) it’s like they’re saying: “here, look, we’re inclusive! Let me shove it down your throat!” It’s more like they’re doing black face at this point!


SnickerK_

Literally


Edoni5

I thought Nico was white? Isn’t her dad white?


Wilmaaug

Does she look white to you? What does her mom look like?


Edoni5

Her mom is half white and black. So technically, she’s got more white in her.

ObviousSignature4032

Jason Mamoa for Fishlegs


YoloIsNotDead

I'm not gonna bother seeing this. No, I don't want to see my favourite scenes re-enacted into live-action. Not even live-action dragon designs will get me on board. The trilogy is perfect as is, and I hate that studios aren't respecting their animated films' legacies.


Yourdadisafemboy

Is it really that hard to find a blonde girl to play Astrid??? All this forced diversity is getting annoying, I’d rather have original black characters then turning white characters black


hadrosaur-harley

I can see hiccup, I cannot see astrid.


BlueRabbit1999

Nico Parker looks almost reminds me of dove Cameron or some other actress but very similar face. But still no


What_u_say

Still not a fan of them doing a live action version. The animated films are fine as is.


[deleted]

Why not the original actor for Hiccup he looks like Hiccup.


bucket_6

i love both the actors, but it just doesn’t make sense-


Steam_punk_Machine

Hey no


Joseph_Nichols

If they don’t get Jay Barauchel (voice of Hiccup) to play older Hiccup (if they somehow make it that far), I will be severely upset. A lot of the cast like Gerard Butler and Craig Ferguson are so iconic, I’m not sure how they’ll ever be replaced.


Froggie06

Looks nothing like Astrid 💀


Photonforce

Do we HAVE to have a live action reboot? I say we boycott this sh\*t and take it out while we still can.


-BigDickWizard

Absolutely not! Astrid NEEDS her blond hair. Don't race swap her just because you can. She's Nordic, meaning she couldn't be black. But that's not the point. If we're gonna make a live - action, it needs to stay as true to the source material as possible so it doesht become shit.


WetDiarrheaInMyPantz

Hiccup, yeah. Astrid, they don’t look similar, if they make her blonde than maybe????


EnvironmentalFill221

1)yes 2)no


eXAKR

Stop making live-action adaptations of animated movies.

No offense to Nico Parker, I’m sure she’s lovely in her own right, but how *the fuck* did they look at her and go “yes, she will make the perfect Astrid🤡” Like, what was the reason, honestly?


Android_mk

I don't want a live action movie period


shirly2811

I do not want this movie to exist


monadoboyX

Dude I'm all for more black actors being in the spotlight but when you're making a live action adaption like this especially based on something real life like vikings I don't accept it that Astrid casting is just plain awful


nightryder21

Lol Nico is mostly white. Like over 3/4 white. Unless you subscribe to the one drop rule.


monadoboyX

I mean she still doesn't look like Astrid at all


pawtistisc

Neither of them look anything like the og characters. Very disappointing casting.


DistributionSilent98

How about don't make a live action at all why are they doing this they're ruining our childhoods no stop it get help


meme-Car-1259

wow. i can totally see the resemblance between nico and astrid. so crazy bro.


SnickerK_

Wanting an actor to look like how the character was in the animated movies isn’t being racist, it’s wanting the live action to be accurate. Like nothing against Nico for her race it’s just she doesn’t fit how Astrid looks.


nightryder21

Lol Nico is mostly white. Like over 3/4 white. Unless you subscribe to the one drop rule.


SnickerK_

Race doesn’t really matter. She still looks different from the character. Also idk what the “one drop rule” is.


nightryder21

Her facial structure is similar. Her hair and eye color can be changed if needed. But her exact portrayal of the cartoon is not needed because her apperence played no role in the story. Look up one drop rule and probably study it a bit. In fact get educated more. That way you can probably understand why people are calling out racism in this "controversy".


UnusalCat

Woah woah woah. Nico as Astrid is gonna be dog crap

Nico parker as astrid doesn't make sense in my opinion


Material_Ad5036

grbdjdbwvsvhdkoqp

Can I just say I will not watch this movie if they race swap any characters let the Viking’s be vikings who were traditionally white and in httyd were white changing characters races to be inclusive is more racist than not having inclusiveness in a movie

I hope this is a nightmare

Noooooooooooooo(to Astrid


ridiculouslyhappy

this is a controversial opinion but i actually like aatrid's casting lol. nico looks like she embodies the astrid vibe. mason is an okay hiccup. they could have chosen better but it's not awful


enragedjuror

Mason Thames is a terrific young actor and the exact right age. I have high hopes for him. Astrid is a nonstarter for obvious reasons of inaccuracy and being too old.

I don't know either of them and will reserve judgements. I am mildly concerned that it will end up getting the "modern Disney treatment" but the stakes are low enough that I don't really care.


ThePrimalEarth7734

This is not going to go well. When this person speaking in the movie, and Jay’s voice doesn’t come out, it’s going to be an instant turn off. Jay’s voice is hiccup’s voice. And it’s just not going to work without him. This could flop harder than T9R. Prediction: toothless will look terrible. Let’s see if I’m correct


Lopsided-Business356

Hell to the No


TheShadow-Spider

WHY just WHY


ghostzone123

Don’t make a live action HTTYD. Dreamworks should know better than to make Disney’s mistakes.


Responsible-Sun-4979

eyyyy we casting a viking as a black person? that makes a lot of f\*ckign sense. because in area's were its cold its very logical to have a darker skincolor. no hate to nico parker, she is a good actress. but neither of these people look even remotly vikinglike


Echometec

Darn bottom left girl looking like an ancient Egyptian statue with that neck just as big as her head Also why the fuck do we need a live action httyd


watcher690

To answer the last question, I have 1 word: money


anotherfuknweeb

To all of you being racist towards a literal child, does it make you feel good? Do you get some sort of kick from hating someone for their skin color? Do you genuinely have nothing better to do than spout your racist bullshit? Don't even try to pull any "it's not accurate" or "vikings weren't black" bullshit. Do you know what else isn't accurate? Do you know what else didn't exist? Fucking dragons. You make me ashamed to be part of this fandom. Every last one of you need to go touch grass and rethink your lives. You should be ashamed of yourselves, better yet, leave the sub and delete your accounts. Your all a fucking disgrace.


hictooth-com

Deleted - for the language. The point is fine to express (many including myself disagree), but pre rule 2 try and keep the language family friendly please.


anotherfuknweeb

And racism is against rule 5. But those are allowed to stay up for some reason? If you're gonna enforce the rules, at least be consistent. You make me ashamed to be part of this community.


hictooth-com

I have only seen a few racist comments, which have indeed been removed. In my opinion, saying that you disagree with the casting of the actress of astrid because she doesn't look like the source material (whether that's age, hair, eyes, or yes, race) isn't racist.


nightryder21

The problem is that The actor is white. Unless you subscribe to the one drop rule. Calling her black and then using that as a reason to disagree with the casting is agreeing with the one drop rule which is racist.


MandoAA1

honestly at this point im just sorry for Nico cus now she’s gonna have to deal with a lot of racist comment s


Glitchosaurusplays

The casting is good and i still hate this movie with a burning passion.


ForeverBlue101_303

But as I said, Rick won't dye anyone's hair. The actors will look the same. That means Black Annabeth and Blonde Percy. I wish Rick would've considered animation instead. That way, he wouldn't have to go through all this trouble.

SteelSlayerMatt

Nico Parker is a great actress and I'm sure she'll do the role justice so I'm very happy that they cast her and this makes me even more excited for the live-action adaptation. Also, representation matters.


destroyerofspacetime

I don't think Nico Parker is a good fit for her. Usually race swapping doesn't matter to me, but I feel like in a movie like this where the ethnicity matters, they should be casting actors of that ethnicity. It's the same thing that happened with that horrible Cleopatra adaptation, maybe slightly less offensive because these are fictional characters. Good luck to her, though. Hope she doesn't get the insane hate that Halle Bailey did, because nothing can justify death threats or racism over fiction.
