Surprise! The Live-Action ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ Already Has a Sequel on the Way
The dragons haven’t even taken flight on the big screen yet, but Universal Pictures just dropped a fiery surprise: a sequel to the upcoming live-action How to Train Your Dragon remake is already in the works!
Announced during Universal’s panel at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, fans were caught off guard (in the best way possible) when a short, 13-second video revealed the title How to Train Your Dragon 2 — confirming its theatrical release date as June 11, 2027. That’s two years after the first film, which is scheduled to soar into theaters on June 13, 2025.

The teaser clip is brief but bold, simply showing off a sleek silver logo for the sequel, leaving us with more questions than answers. Will the sequel be a faithful live-action remake of the animated How to Train Your Dragon 2? Will it take a brand-new flight path? Universal is keeping those details under wraps for now — but the hype is already sky-high.
The first live-action film is a reimagining of DreamWorks’ beloved 2010 animated adventure, starring Mason Thames as the dragon-whispering Hiccup and Nico Parker as the fearless Astrid. The cast also includes Nick Frost, Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Ruth Codd, Peter Serafinowicz, and Murray McArthur. And in a thrilling return, Gerard Butler reprises his role as the mighty Chief Stoick the Vast. Dean DeBlois, the visionary behind the original animated trilogy, returns to direct, write, and produce the live-action remake, keeping the heart of Berk in good hands.
While there’s no confirmed cast list yet for the sequel, it’s a safe bet that many of the stars from the first live-action film will be back for more dragon-filled action, emotional moments, and epic sky battles.
