The movie's a sequel to last year's live-action remake of the classic animated flick, bringing back the Vikings and dragons vibe on the Isle of Burke. This got Mason teams as hiccup and Gerard Butler reprising stoic the vast, focusing on that teen outcast bonding with the Night Fury Toothless. Crews say these always are hot topic on big sets like this, and word is the injury severe enough to shake up the team.
