Ted Lasso Star Phil Dunster Replaces Kit Harington In How To Train Your Dragon 2

Last year’s live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon exceeded expectations at the box office, earning an impressive $636 million worldwide. A sequel was announced before its release, and that movie’s cast now continues to expand.

The Hollywood Reporter (via Toonado.com) has confirmed that Ted Lasso star Phil Dunster has boarded the cast as Eret, a character from the 2014 animated movie who is described as “the cocky, boastful and self-proclaimed ‘fiinest dragon trapper alive.'”

Game of Thrones star Kit Harington lent his voice to Eret in the 2014 DreamWorks Animation feature. It’s unclear whether he was approached to potentially reprise the role here, but Dunster seems like a great fit for the character.
