Asher Angel Reacts to Fan Casting of Him as Hiccup in Live Action 'How to Train Your Dragon'

Asher Angel is seemingly supporting a fan casting of him in the upcoming live action How to Train Your Dragon!

The 20-year-old Shazam! Fury of the Gods star liked a tweet this week saying he was rumored to playing one of the main characters, Hiccup.

In the first How to Train movie, the character is just 15 years old, while he grows to be 21 by the third and final film.

Another fan casting for Hiccup includes Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn‘s Aidan Gallagher.

If you didn’t know, it was announced earlier this year that the popular Dreamworks animated film is getting the live action treatment, with Dean DeBlois making his live action directorial debut. Dean wrote and directed the animated films, and will resume both roles for the live action adaptation.

The first film followed Hiccup, a young Viking who defies tradition and befriends one of his deadliest foes – a ferocious dragon he calls Toothless. Together, the unlikely heroes fight against the odds to save both their worlds in this wonderful, feel-good hit.

How to Train Your Dragon is based on the books by author Cressida Cowell.

No casting has been revealed at this time.

Asher just finished filming on another upcoming project, where he actually shaved his head for the role.

He also posted a new video of him working out, showing off his growing bicep muscles. Check it out below!
