Summer Blockbuster: June 13 How to Train Your Dragon Preview!

On June 13, prepare your popcorn as the highly anticipated live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon swoops into theaters. Directed by Dean DeBlois, this flick promises to transfer the Viking spirit and dragon action from animation screens to a thrilling live-action experience, with a sprinkle of CGI magic.

With a cast featuring Gerard Butler, Mason Thames, and Nico Parker, the film aims to retell the beloved tale while expanding the universe fans adore. DeBlois, initially hesitant about "lazy" live-action remakes, now has embraced this project like a dragon training its rider, stating he aims to keep the essence intact.

The new film, a nostalgic follow-up to its animated predecessors—two sequels and the original 2010 release—will delve deeper into its characters and the mythology of the Viking clan. Expect fun backstories, especially for characters like Astrid, who demands more airtime than your average dragon. Are we ready for a potentially sub-par plot twist? Stay tuned!

DeBlois is already plotting a sequel slated for 2027, proving he’s as strategic as Hiccup himself. Meanwhile, the film's association with Universal’s $7 billion theme park is sure to generate interest, giving fans a chance to hop on a dragon ride after they watch! After all, who doesn’t want to live their best Viking dream?
