How To Train Your Dragon Live-Action to Hit theaters June 2025

By -

Info in Movie News | The upcoming movie written and directed by Dean DeBlois is set for release June 13, 2025. This direct adaptation is based on the DreamWorks Animation animated film of the same name, which premiered in 2010.

Mason Thames will portray Hiccup in the new iteration, with Nico Parker as Astrid. The rest of the film cast includes Gerard Butler, Nick Frost, Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Ruth Codd, Peter Serafinowicz and Murray McArthur.

Like the animated version, the live-action How to Train Your Dragon chronicles Hiccup (Thermes), a young Viking who is meant to hunt dragons but instead befriends a feared dragon he names Toothless.

In a scene captured in the film trailer, Hiccup complains to his father, Stoick the Vast (a role Butler reprises from the animated television series): “I can’t kill a dragon.

To which Hiccup’s dad vigorously counters, “But you will.”

Even so, compared with standard Hollywood designs, which tend to go in one extreme direction or the other, the filmmakers have chosen glamorously realistic design for the dragon. So it looks very similar to the original, but with more realistic textures appropriate to a movie set.

The initial encounter between Toothless and Hiccup is either familiar or trudaunted, borrowing from the same trajectory as the animated film. It gets only easier to plug in and engage with the film’s world, aided by the familiar background music, scored by John Powell.

The How to Train Your Dragon franchise netted four Oscar nominations and earned over $1.6 billion in worldwide box office revenue.

The 2010 animated movie also led to two sequel films, the last being How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World in 2019. There were also five short films and three TV series in the franchise.

The lead actor, Mason Thames, received acclaim for his roles in 2022’s horror ROM-com The Black Phone and Netflix’s recent teen comedy, Incoming. Jay Baruchel provided the voice of Hiccup in the animated movie.

  Info in Movie News | Tom Holland is back as Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the fourth installment in his Marvel Cinematic Universe saga, and this time, the tone is darker, the stakes are higher, and Peter is more alone than ever before. To celebrate Spider-Man Day, Sony surprised fans with a teaser that shows Holland’s new suit in action. It’s sleeker, more tactical, and noticeably darker, a reflection of Peter’s new reality as a street-level hero operating without Avengers support. According to Collider,  production is ongoing in Glasgow, a city that is being used as the location for the shooting of a movie set in New York City. The fans were very smart, and they found an Easter egg in the set photos that were leaked: an armored truck with a red demon symbol. Gamers hardly had to be told, the logo of the Inner Demons was there, the gang of Mister Negative who is the leader in the Spider-Man PlayStation games. This nod strongly suggests that Mister Negative (a.k...

  Info in Movie News | The silence is far from over, A Quiet Place Part III is officially heading to theaters on July 9, 2027, marking the next chapter in one of the most quietly terrifying franchises of modern horror.
