18 Oct, 2025
Summary
- 18-year-old actor Mason Thames stars in two 2025 movies
- Confused Hiccup and Finney characters while filming The Black Phone 2
- Dealt with different acting styles for fantasy vs. horror roles
As of October 18th, 2025, 18-year-old actor Mason Thames is gearing up for the release of two highly anticipated movies - The Black Phone 2 and Regretting You. This comes just a few months after he made his debut as the live-action Hiccup in the How To Train Your Dragon franchise over the summer.
Filming the two new projects back-to-back seems to have taken a toll on Thames, who revealed a hilarious on-set mix-up while working on The Black Phone 2. The actor, who played the lead role of Finney in the first Black Phone movie, admitted to getting his characters confused at times, accidentally slipping into his Hiccup persona on set.
