How To Train Your Dragon’s live-action adaptation has been widely anticipated by many, with Mason Thames (The Black Phone) and Nico Parker (The Last of Us) being cast as Hiccup and Astrid, and Gerard Butler returning to play Stoick.
Production has officially begun on the film with an announcement from filmmaker Dean DeBlois who helmed the animated film trilogy, sharing that he was “excited to get [production] underway”. The live-action How To Train Your Dragon movie is scheduled to hit theatres on 13 June 2025.
The film looks to be a faithful adaptation of the animated trilogy’s first movie, with the plot being relatively similar:
“Based on Cressida Cowell’s beloved book series, How to Train Your Dragon follows a young Viking Hiccup, the injured dragon Toothless, and their friend Astrid as they forge an unlikely friendship, and teach the people of Berk to coexist with dragons.”
