Universal Pictures has hatched the first trailer for their live-action reimagining of the animated classic How to Train Your Dragon.
Directed by Dean DeBlois, who adapted Cressida Cowell’s New York Times bestselling book series into the $1.6 billion grossing animated trilogy, How to Train Your Dragon brings to life the isle of Berk and its Viking inhabitants, including Hiccup (Mason Thames), Astrid (Nico Parker), Gobber (Nick Frost) and Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise).
The film also stars Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Ruth Codd, Peter Serafinowicz, and Murray McArthur. Get swept away by the poster and teaser trailer below…
“On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames; The Black Phone, For All Mankind) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society.
With the fierce and ambitious Astrid (BAFTA nominee Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us) and the village’s quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost; Snow White and the Huntsman, Shaun of the Dead) by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding. As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup’s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.”
How to Train Your Dragon flies into theatres on June 13, 2025.
