I really don't want him to, but looking at the trailer, he looks like he's getting really old. Also, as you see in the cover of the art book, it looks like Hiccup is more the leader of Berk. Our guess is that in the second movie, Hiccup will learn about being a leader, and maybe in the second or third movie, Stoik will die and Hiccup take over. I swear though, if he does die, I am going to cry so hard in the theater I just won't be able to take it. IF, mind you, IF IF IF, DreamWorks sticks to the books, then Stoick will not die. IF that random fact that I am unable to scource because I don't remember where I heard it and Cressida Cowell said that the books and movies will share and ending, then the reason Hiccup seems to take charge is NOT due to his father's death. To say more might spoil the books, but only IF I'm right.
