Why Astrid From How To Train Your Dragon Remake Looks So Familar?
The young actress is just at the beginning of her career, but has already managed to work with the most famous Hollywood stars.
Universal's successful animation How to Train Your Dragon will be made into a live-actionmovie. The role of Astrid went to Nico Parker, who became famous thanks to the TV series The Last of Us.
Nico Parker is the daughter of director Oliver Parker and actress Thandiwe Newton. It is not surprising that the girl followed in the footsteps of her parents and connected her life with the cinema.
The career of the British actress is just beginning, but she can already boast of roles in bright Hollywood projects.
Nico filmed in her first project at the age of 14. And it was not a quick episode, but one of the main roles in the Tim Burton's movie.
The director decided to rethink the classic animation and made the movie version of Walt Disney 's Dumbo. Nico played the daughter of circus worker Milly Farrier. Her on-screen father was Colin Farrell.
Despite being surrounded on set by celebrities like Eva Green and Danny DeVito, Parker was neither lost nor shy, though she admitted she still lacked confidence in front of the camera.
Nico's love for the character helped her overcome her insecurities, which truly inspired the young actress.
The movie premiered in 2019 and brought Nico fame. Almost immediately, she started working in the British-American TV series The Third Day, starring Jude Law.
In the psychological horror, which takes place on a mysterious island, Parker appeared in three episodes, playing a character named Ellie.
In 2021, the filmography of the actress was replenished with the sci-fi movie Reminiscence. In the debut movie of Lisa Joy, the main roles went to Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson and Cliff Curtis.
Nico's mother Thandiwe Newton also starred in the movie, while Parker herself played a character named Zoe.
In the summer of 2021, it was announced that Nico had been cast as Sarah Miller in the film adaptation of the video game The Last of Us.
Parker's character was Sarah, the daughter of protagonist Joel, who accompanied teenager Ellie through the post-apocalyptic world.
