  • DeBlois states the film's fictional setting allows for a diverse cast, with the Vikings drawing from 'many cultures' historically, despite the animated version featuring a white-centric cast.
  • The director emphasizes the live-action take will not be a shot-for-shot remake, but rather an expansion on the beloved story, assuring fans the 'key moments' will still be honored.
