Edit cast list for:
How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)?
Trivia:
SPOILER:Hiccup calls Valka "Mom" only twice in the entire film: once during the battle at the dragon sanctuary and again after the battle at Berk.:SPOILER `~15747~` asked `~947~` to play the role of Valka during the 2011 awards season where !~train_dragon_1~!~How to Train Your Dragon~! was being campaigned for Academy Award recognition. "I told her that I had written the part for her in !~train_dragon_2~!~How To Train Your Dragon 2~!. And she smiled, saying that the (original) movie was 'a big hit in her household with her three boys,'" said DeBlois. "I told her about the character, and I could see it blossoming in her mind." DeBlois wanted Blanchett to play Valka because he knew she could strike the right balance of "rich and commanding," mixed with a sense of "regret and vulnerability" that the part called for. `~14071~` would often do vocal exercises to prepare for his voice acting. One of these was a loud, terrible scream. `~15747~` liked it so much that he decided to use it as Drago's cry to summon his dragons. SPOILER:Originally, Gobber was the one who was meant to be killed by the brainwashed Toothless. But when `~6497~` read the draft, he suggested that Stoick should be killed instead, as it would have a bigger impact.:SPOILER Stoick the Vast has some experience and lines in common with another `~10158~` character, Creedy in !~reign_fire~!~Reign of Fire~!, which was also about dragons. One such allusion comes during the battle scene where Stoick is fighting Drago. SPOILER:Drago's Bewilderbeast loses its left tusk, just as Drago also lost his left arm to a dragon. This is similar to a situation in the first film, where Hiccup loses his left leg, as a parallel to Toothless losing his left tail fin.:SPOILER SPOILER:Gobber is the first character to "come out" in a DreamWorks Animation film. This is evidenced when he says the reason he never married was because of the arguing. He then adds, "Well, this and another reason." Writer-director `~15747~` told E! News, "When we were recording `~15749~`, I had written the line, 'This is why I never got married,' and he, as he often does, added it as an ad lib and he said, 'Yup, Gobber is coming out of the closet.'":SPOILER SPOILER:Valka was originally written as the villain, but this idea was dropped in later drafts. Also, Drago was intended to appear in the third film @%How to Train Your Dragon 3%@, but was bumped up to the second one.:SPOILER
