Hiccup and Toothless are back!

Earlier this year, Universal announced it was bringing new life to one of Dreamworks' most popular animated properties.

For those who don't know, the animated trilogy, based on the books by Cressida Cowell, follow a boy named Hiccup and his dragon Toothless.

No details about the plot of the live-action version have been released, though it's likely it'll follow the events of the original movie.

Here's everything we do know about the upcoming adaptation so far:

The Black Phone star Mason Thames will play Hiccup.

So far there's been no word on whether any of the original voice cast might make a cameo in the new film, though I'm sure fans would love to see them pop up.

This isn't Parker's first live-action remake of an animated movie. She appeared alongside Danny DeVito and Colin Farrell in 2019's Dumbo.
