For its upcoming live-action remake of “How to Train Your Dragon 2,” Universal and DreamWorks are turning to the original voice of Valka, Cate Blanchett, to reprise the role on camera.
Blanchett is the second member of the “Dragon” animated voice cast to make the leap to the remake series. She follows Gerard Butler, who played Hiccup’s father Stoick in both the first “How to Train Your Dragon” in 2010 and in last year’s remake, which made $636 million at the global box office.
In the 2014 animated sequel, a now teenage and more confident Hiccup encounters his mother Valka, whom Stoick believed to be dead after she was taken by a dragon during a raid.
