How to Train Your Dragon: New Trailer, Poster, And 4 New Images

Universal has released a new trailer, poster, and 4 new images for the live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon.



Article Summary

  • Universal releases a new trailer for the live-action How to Train Your Dragon.
  • The film features stunning visuals and beloved music from the original trilogy.
  • Trailers and images might quash worries about dragon animations and flying scenes.
  • Live-action adaptation of Dean DeBlois' animated saga set for June 13, 2025.

Universal and Dreamworks are hard at work trying to prove to the non-believers that the live-action remake of How To Train Your Dragon is a good idea. They have the added benefit of being based on three of Dreamworks's best movies ever made, which helps a lot, but this is going to be one of those films where people are going to be worried until the credits roll. These films meant a lot to an entire generation of kids, and they're teenagers and young adults now, so they are going to have one critical eye on this. So far, the trailers look pretty promising, and all of the things that could go wrong, such as the dragons looking wonky or the flying scenes not looking right, appear to be worries of the past. We have a new trailer, a new poster, and four new images as well. That music is going to get me every time, so if anyone needs me, I'll probably be in a corner of my theater with my Toothless plush, which makes little growling noises when you hug him, bawling like a baby.

How to Train Your Dragon: Summary, Cast List, Release Date

From three-time Oscar® nominee and Golden Globe winner Dean DeBlois, the creative visionary behind DreamWorks Animation's acclaimed How to Train Your Dragon trilogy comes a stunning live-action reimagining of the film that launched the beloved franchise.
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.

The film also stars Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2), Gabriel Howell (Bodies), Bronwyn James (Wicked), Harry Trevaldwyn (Smothered), Ruth Codd (The Midnight Club), BAFTA nominee Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Murray McArthur (Game of Thrones).

How to Train Your Dragon is written, produced and directed by DeBlois. It is also produced by three-time Oscar® nominee Marc Platt (Wicked, La La Land) and Emmy winner Adam Siegel (Drive, 2 Guns). How To Train Your Dragon is part of the Filmed For IMAX® Program, which offers filmmakers IMAX® technology to help them deliver the most immersive movie experience to audiences around the world.

Inspired by Cressida Cowell's New York Times bestselling book series, DreamWorks Animation's How to Train Your Dragon franchise has captivated global audiences, earning four Academy Award® nominations and grossing more than $1.6 billion at the global box office. Now, through cutting-edge visual effects, DeBlois transforms his beloved animated saga into a breathtaking live-action spectacle, bringing the epic adventures of Hiccup and Toothless to life with jaw-dropping realism as they discover the true meaning of friendship, courage and destiny. How To Train Your Dragon will be released in theaters on June 13, 2025.
