Welcome to Berk: First Look at the Live-Action How to Train Your Dragon 🐉⚔️
Get ready to soar once more—How to Train Your Dragon is back, and this time, it’s more real (and fire-breathing) than ever before. The beloved DreamWorks saga that captured hearts in animated form is being reimagined as a live-action feature from the trilogy’s original creator, Dean DeBlois. How to Train Your Dragon hits theaters on June 13, and trust us—you’ll want to see this one on the biggest screen possible.
The brand-new Bringing Berk to Life featurette offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into how the windswept isle of Berk was reborn for the big screen. This is more than just a retelling—it’s a cinematic transformation.

⚔️ A Story Reforged in Fire and Friendship
This epic adventure takes us back to the rugged island of Berk, where Vikings have long battled dragons in a centuries-old feud. But everything changes when young Hiccup (played by Mason Thames, The Black Phone)—an awkward teen and the son of the fearsome Chief Stoick the Vast (yes, Gerard Butler is back!)—decides to befriend the most feared dragon of all: the elusive Night Fury, Toothless.
Their bond flips Viking tradition on its horned helmet, proving that dragons might not be enemies at all. Together with the fiercely independent Astrid (played by Nico Parker, The Last of Us) and the always-entertaining blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost, comedic legend of Shaun of the Dead), Hiccup sets out to change the course of history.
🐲 A Cast Full of Firepower
The film features a cast packed with talent including:
- Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2)
- Gabriel Howell (Bodies)
- Bronwyn James (Wicked)
- Harry Trevaldwyn (Smothered)
- Ruth Codd (The Midnight Club)
- Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy)
- Murray McArthur (Game of Thrones)
This live-action adaptation is produced by Dean DeBlois, Marc Platt (La La Land), and Adam Siegel (Drive) and is part of the Filmed for IMAX® Program, making this dragon ride as immersive as it gets.
