According to Variety, Harington would play a villainous warrior in the sequel, which is set for release on June 20, 2014.

The first film was loosely based on the first installment in author Cressida Cowell's nine-book series of the same name and starred Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, T.J. Miller, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Kristen Wiig. Co-writer and co-director Dean DeBlois is returning to write and direct the sequel.

Harington has portrayed Jon Snow in HBO's "Game of Thrones" for two seasons so far. He will next appear in "Silent Hill: Revelation 3D."

Storyboarding underway for 'How to Train Your Dragon 2'

Storyboarding has begun on the sequel to the Academy Award-nominated film "How to Train Your Dragon."

The first film hit theaters March 26, 2010.

The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision blog quoted writer/director Dean DeBlois talking about the progress made so far on the sequel, which is set for release on June 20, 2014.

“There are certain characters and situations that come into play in the second film that will becomes much more crucial to the story by the third. Other threads from the first will begin to pay themselves off in the second,” DeBlois said. “It's my way of guaranteeing that it is not another adventure that we throw the same five or six characters into, that it feels like part of a larger story.”

He went on to say storyboarding is underway after the completion of several drafts of the script.

The first film was loosely based on the first installment in author Cressida Cowell's nine-book series of the same name. Since the movie departed rather significantly from the book, it's expected the sequel will do as well.

"How To Train Your Dragon" made my top five list films of 2010 list, and remains one of my favorite animated films of recent years. The film went on to earn two Academy Award nominations for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Score.
