The story follows Hiccup (Mason Thames), the inventive yet often overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his role from the animated films). Set on the rugged island of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup’s life takes a transformative turn when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond challenges the long-standing traditions of Viking society, revealing the true nature of dragons and sparking a change that will affect both their worlds. Alongside Hiccup is Astrid (Nico Parker), a fierce and ambitious ally, and Gobber (Nick Frost), the quirky blacksmith who helps Hiccup on his journey. As an ancient threat looms, endangering both the Vikings and the dragons, Hiccup’s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging peace.
The film’s ensemble cast features a blend of exciting talent, with Mason Thames leading the way as Hiccup, Gerard Butler returning as Stoick, and Nico Parker as Astrid. Nick Frost and a supporting cast that includes Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, and Peter Serafinowicz help bring the vibrant world of Berk to life.
This live-action adaptation is based on Cressida Cowell’s New York Times bestselling How to Train Your Dragon book series, which first introduced readers to the incredible bond between Hiccup and Toothless. The movie promises to be a visual and emotional spectacle, combining the rich lore of the original books and films with stunning live-action sequences.
Fans can look forward to the release of How to Train Your Dragon in theaters on June 13th, 2025, where they will embark on an epic adventure alongside Hiccup and Toothless, exploring themes of friendship, leadership, and the power of understanding across boundaries.
