In the teaser trailer, Mason Thames steps into the shoes of Hiccup, a young Viking from the rugged Isle of Berk. Defying centuries of tradition, Hiccup befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond challenges the very foundations of Viking society.
With Nico Parker as Astrid, Hiccup's love interest and Gerard Butler as Stoick the Vast, Hiccup's father, the cast also features Nick Frost, Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Ruth Codd, Peter Serafinowicz, and Murray McArthur.
Director Dean DeBlois, who helmed the animated trilogy, returns to oversee the live-action adaptation. The film is slated for a wide theatrical release on June 13, 2025.
According to DeBlois, the live-action adaptation is more intense, featuring "a fully credible, photo-real dragon stomping around trying to kill him." The story explores themes of friendship, peace, and redefining what it means to be a hero.
As an ancient threat emerges, endangering Vikings and dragons alike, Hiccup and Toothless' friendship becomes crucial for forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, challenging the boundaries of their worlds.
