Cate Blanchett is set to ride the dragons again, this time in the live-action sequel. The two-time Oscar winner, who is known for voicing the character of Valka, Hiccup`s long-lost mother in the How to Train Your Dragon animated film series, has now officially inked a deal to reprise her character for the upcoming live-action, reported The Hollywood Reporter.

How to Train Your Dragon follows the adventures of a scrawny misfit teenager, Hiccup, who happens to befriend an injured dragon (Nightfury), whom he calls Toothless. What follows in the rest of the series is how Hiccup and Toothless defy centuries of tradition, where Vikings and dragons are bitter enemies.
