Meet Toothless in live-action with new How To Train Your Dragon clip

May 20, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

With less than a month to go until How to Train Your Dragon lands in cinemas, a clip has arrived online for Dean DeBlois’ live-action reimagining of the beloved animated film; check it out below along with two featurettes which put the spotlight on stars Mason Thames’s Hiccup and Gerard Butler’s Chief Stoick…

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 stars Mason Thomas, Gerard Butler, Nico Parker, Nick Frost, Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Browyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Ruth Codd, Peter Serafinowicz and Murray McArthur.
