THE TRAILER RELEASE

The live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon has finally arrived with its first trailer, bringing to life the lovable dragon Toothless and his Viking companion, Hiccup. Set to hit theaters on June 13, 2025, this movie aims to recapture the magic of the beloved animated trilogy while offering a fresh perspective on the story.

Toothless Captures Hearts Again

The first look at Toothless in live-action form has already enchanted audiences.

Staying true to his animated design, the filmmakers have preserved the dragon’s endearing features while introducing realistic textures that suit the live-action format.

This choice has been met with widespread praise, as it maintains what makes Toothless so unforgettable—a perfect mix of cuteness and majesty.

In the trailer, fans are treated to a recreation of the iconic moment when Hiccup first meets Toothless.

Accompanied by John Powell’s stirring score, this scene pulls viewers back into the world of dragon training and adventure, ensuring that the heart of the original story remains intact.

The Enduring Bond of Toothless and Hiccup

This live-action film is based on the 2010 DreamWorks animated hit, which itself draws inspiration from Cressida Cowell’s children’s book series.

The story follows Hiccup, an outcast Viking teenager who forms an unlikely bond with Toothless, a dragon injured in battle. Together, they challenge their village’s perception of dragons, leading to a heartwarming tale of friendship and courage.

Mason Thames (The Black Phone) stars as Hiccup, with Nico Parker (The Last of Us) taking on the role of Astrid. Gerard Butler reprises his role as Stoick the Vast, adding a sense of continuity to this beloved franchise.

A Fresh Yet Familiar Journey

Director Dean DeBlois, who directed all three animated films, returns to helm this live-action adaptation. This consistency reassures fans that the emotional depth and adventurous spirit of the story will remain intact.

The How to Train Your Dragon series has become a cultural phenomenon, amassing over $1.6 billion worldwide through three feature films, spin-off TV shows, and even a live ice show.

As Toothless and Hiccup prepare to take flight once more, this live-action adaptation seeks to bridge generations of fans while introducing new audiences to the magical world of Berk. If the trailer is any indication, the bond between Toothless and Hiccup remains as powerful as ever.

Mark your calendars—Toothless will soar into theaters next summer, promising an unforgettable experience for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
