“Dad, I can’t kill dragons…” Universal Pictures has debuted another new 60-second promo teaser for their live-action How to Train Your Dragon movie, which will hit theaters in June this summer. The original HTTYD movie opened in theaters in 2010, and it was such a huge success for DreamWorks Animation they went on to make two more sequels. The story follows a young Viking boy as he aspires to help hunt dragons, and how he becomes unexpectedly a friend of a young dragon he decides to name Toothless. From the same director as the original three animated movies before – Dean DeBlois is handling this live-action one as well. In this HTTYD, Mason Thames (from The Black Phone) stars as Hiccup, Gerard Butler as Stoick, Nico Parker as Astrid, and also with Nick Frost, Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Ruth Codd, and Peter Serafinowicz, and Murray McArthur. This latest trailer is basically a recut version of the first teaser trailer with a few extra shots at the end of Toothless and Hiccup playing around. It’s looking good so far, but still not sure why we need this shot-for-shot live-action remake.
Here’s the “Warrior” teaser for Dean DeBlois’s live-action How To Train Your Dragon, from YouTube:

On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his role from the movies), 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 (Nico Parker) and the village’s quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost) 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. 🛡
How To Train Your Dragon (live-action) is once again written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Dean DeBlois, director of the original three animated How to Train Your Dragon movies previously, plus a few music videos and other projects. The story is inspired by Cressida Cowell’s NY Times bestselling book series. It’s produced by Marc Platt, Adam Siegel, and Dean DeBlois. This new How To Train Your Dragon is part of the Filmed For IMAX Program. Universal Pictures will debut the live-action How To Train Your Dragon movie in theaters nationwide starting June 13th, 2025 coming up this summer. Who wants to watch this?
