Dean DeBlois, the visionary behind the beloved How to Train Your Dragon franchise, is back with a live-action adaptation of the 2003 DreamWorks animated hit. Set on the rugged isle of Berk, the film introduces us to Hiccup, the inventive yet often overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast. In a world where Vikings and dragons are sworn enemies, Hiccup defies tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. This unlikely bond between them challenges centuries of Viking beliefs, unveiling the true nature of dragons.
With Astrid’s fierce ambition and Gobber’s quirky wisdom, Hiccup embarks on an epic journey, as a growing ancient threat endangers both Vikings and dragons alike. The film’s emotional core rests on Hiccup and Toothless’s friendship, which may be the only way to forge peace in a world torn by fear and misunderstanding. Together, they must strive for a new future, redefining heroism and leadership.
The film stars Mason Thames as Hiccup, with Gerard Butler portraying Stoick, Nico Parker as Astrid, and Nick Frost as Gobber. Additional cast members include Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, and Ruth Codd, among others. Produced by Marc Platt, Dean DeBlois, and Adam Siegel, this live-action remake brings new life to the cherished story originally based on Cressida Cowell’s 2003 novel.
Universal Pictures will release How To Train Your Dragon on June 13, 2025. Watch the official trailer for a sneak peek of the thrilling adventure ahead.
