TOOTHLESS is back— and he’s never looked more real!
The new trailer for the live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon has landed, bringing a fresh new look to the beloved animated film.
DreamWorks and Universal have teamed up to bring Cressida Cowell’s magical world to life with jaw-dropping visual effects, giving fans a chance to experience the story of Hiccup and Toothless in a whole new way.
Inspired by Cowell’s New York Times bestselling book series, DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon franchise—directed by three-time Oscar nominee and Golden Globe winner Dean DeBlois—has captivated audiences to the tune of $1.6 billion in global box office sales and four Academy Award nominations.
Now, DeBlois is bringing the series to life through cutting-edge visual effects, ensuring that the world of dragons and Vikings is as breathtaking as ever.
Released on May 6, 2025, the trailer highlights the bond between Hiccup (Mason Thames) and Toothless, the injured Night Fury. The pair was also shown in a quick glimpse of a fighting sequence against another huge and furious dragon.
Mason Thames, 17, was cast to play Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, the protagonist of the film. Meanwhile, Nico Parker— Dumbo and The Last of Us star— will play his love interest, Astrid Hofferson.
The cast also features Gerard Butler reprising his role as Stoick the Vast, Hiccup’s father, Nick Frost as Gobber the Belch, Julian Dennison as Fishlegs Ingerman, Gabriel Howell as Snotlout Jorgenson, Bronwyn James as Ruffnut Thorston, Harry Trevaldwyn as Tuffnut Thorston, and Ruth Codd as Phlegma the Fierce.
How to Train Your Dragon live-action film will soar into theaters on June 13, 2025.
