The skies over Berk are about to come alive like never before. DreamWorks’ How to Train Your Dragon is getting the live-action treatment, and longtime fans of the beloved animated saga are in for something truly special. Helmed by Dean DeBlois, the same creative force behind the original trilogy, this reimagining brings Hiccup and Toothless’s magic, heart, and high-flying adventure into the real world.
What made the animated trilogy unforgettable is that its powerful themes of identity, understanding, and courage remain at the core. But now, it’s being brought to life in a way that immerses viewers in the wind whipped cliffs of Berk and the pulse pounding thrill of dragon flight like never before.

Fans can expect more than just a shot for shot remake. With a fresh cast and live action visuals powered by cutting edge technology, the film promises a deeper, more visceral experience, one that captures the emotion and scale of the original while charting new territory.
As Hiccup and Toothless face rising tensions, ancient dangers, and the burden of becoming leaders in a divided world, their journey is set to resonate with new audiences and loyal fans alike.
Set in a Viking village where dragons are feared and hunted, the story centers on Hiccup, a young outsider who breaks the mold when he befriends a Night Fury, one of the most feared dragons of all. Together, they spark a movement that questions everything their people have ever believed about dragons. This new version introduces The Black Phone’s Mason Thames as Hiccup, while Gerard Butler returns to the world he helped define, stepping back into the role of Stoick this time in the flesh. BAFTA-nominated Nico Parker joins as the fierce Astrid, and Nick Frost brings charm and grit as Gobber, the loyal blacksmith.
With a supporting cast that includes Julian Dennison, Ruth Codd, Peter Serafinowicz, and others, the live-action adaptation stays true to its roots while pushing the franchise into bold new territory.
