It is not a surprise that they are already working on a sequel to How to Train your Dragon and the first step to succeeding is to secure your talent.
And all the required cast have signed to reprise their roles in the sequel, and half of the writing/directing team is back with the other half producing.
Jay Baruchel, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller and Kristen Wiig will all reprise their roles. While Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders co-wrote and directed the first film, DeBlois will take the reigns solo on both fronts this time though Sanders will remain onboard as an executive producer.
This was one of the best movies of the year for me, and while I figured it would be a good movie I was blown away by it.
I am encouraged that a sequel will have the same voice cast and director. It is disjointing to see followups without the same voice cast. If this film suffers in the sequel it won’t be from that.
