Live-Action ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ Drops First Trailer: Mason Thames & Gerard Butler Are Ready to Tame Dragons—and Your Hearts!

Buy Me A Coffee

Universal Pictures just unleashed the first teaser trailer for the live-action How to Train Your Dragon! Spoiler alert—it’s equal parts epic and adorable.

Who’s Who in the Berkiverse
In a casting move that screams, “Let’s get some drama AND biceps,” Mason Thames stars as Hiccup, the underdog hero with big ideas and questionable blacksmithing skills. Meanwhile, Gerard Butler returns as Chief Stoick the Vast, probably because no one else can yell “HICCUP!” quite like him. If you’re wondering, yes, Butler is still rocking that Viking dad energy—this time with actual screen presence instead of just his iconic voice.

The Plot: Vikings, Dragons, and Emotional Damage
Here’s the lowdown: The island of Berk has a Viking-dragon feud hotter than your grandma’s chili recipe. But then, Hiccup (our plucky underdog) goes and befriends a dragon—the ultimate teenage rebellion move. And not just any dragon, mind you; he bonds with Toothless, a Night Fury who’s basically a flying puppy with wings. Cue the awkward but heartwarming montage of boy-meets-dragon antics.

Of course, chaos ensues. Hiccup and Toothless accidentally start shaking up Viking society like a couple of rebellious influencers, proving dragons aren’t just flame-throwing pests—they’re misunderstood, scaly sweethearts. With Astrid (played by Nico Parker) bringing the sass and Gobber (Nick Frost) providing the comic relief, the squad takes on an ancient, world-threatening menace. Stakes? Sky-high. Drama? Off the charts. Emotional tears? Practically guaranteed.

The Supporting Cast: A Who’s-Who of Awesomeness
Joining the Viking squad are Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Ruth Codd, Peter Serafinowicz, and Murray McArthur. Honestly, this cast list feels like they just grabbed the coolest names in Hollywood and told them to bring their best Viking accents.

Mark Your Calendars!
How to Train Your Dragon (live-action edition) soars into theaters on June 13, 2025. Judging by the trailer, it’s going to be a wild ride full of epic battles, heartwarming dragon cuddles, and Gerard Butler shouting things like his life depends on it.

But Wait, There’s a Trailer!

This summer, the dragons are real, the stakes are higher, and the Viking hair is… shockingly well-conditioned.
