How to Train Your Dragon live-action series under production; Here’s what we know so far

With the news that Universal will release a live-action big-screen version of DreamWorks Animation's ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ in 2025, Toothless will take flight once more.

Dean DeBlois, who co-wrote and directed the Academy Award-nominated trilogy ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ (2010), ‘How to Train Your Dragon 2’ (2014), and ‘How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World’ (2017), which expertly concluded the series, will be in charge of the movie, ensuring its safety. The Academy nominated all three movies for Best Animated Feature.

The exploits of an oddball adolescent Viking named Hiccup, who one day comes upon a wounded dragon, were the focus of the television series, which was set in the legendary Viking settlement of Berk. Together, they give the dragon the name Toothless, and their unbreakable friendship lasts the whole of the series. The characters in the How to Train Your Dragon series really aged and eventually became adults, which gave the tale a certain amount of emotional weight in contrast to other animated shows.

As Hiccup's taming of the Night Fury dragon bonds the people of Berk with the dragons in their sky, the first movie saw the relationship between Hiccup and Toothless develop from curiosity to genuine friendship. As they searched for Hiccup's mother, Valka, and attempted to control a crazy man with aspirations to rule the world, the protagonists in the sequel showed themselves to be young adults. A dragon hunter named Grimmel the Grisly, who was after both Toothless and the white Night Fury dragon that Toothless desired to mate with, was still a menace to the characters when the saga came to an end in The Hidden World.
