Dean DeBlois, director of the upcoming live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon, has responded to criticism about Nico Parker’s casting as Astrid in the film. How to Train Your Dragon will adapt the beloved 2010 animated movie, in which America Ferrera voiced Astrid. In addition to Parker, the cast of the live-action How to Train Your Dragon adaptation includes Mason Thames, Gerard Butler, and Nick Frost. Ever since it was announced that Nico Parker would be portraying Astrid in the live-action movie, some people have criticized the casting choice since Parker is Black, while the animated version of Astrid was White.
