The live-action film How to Train Your Dragon, which will be released theatrically on June 13, 2025, is one of the anticipated titles of 2025. HTYD has been a massive franchise, thanks to the incredibly popular animated films. However, Universal Pictures wanted to expand its horizons and bring this story to more people through live action.
The first live-action film set to release this year is in June, so we are only a couple of months away from seeing a new version of Toothless and Hiccup. It’s hard to judge a movie before its release, but fans are confident that the live-action will be good. Also, it seems like the studio has more than enough faith in the live-action version of HTYD. That’s because recently, Universal Pictures announced How to Train Your Dragon 2, the sequel to the first film, with a fancy teaser revealing its logo .
It’s very rare for the creators to announce a sequel, whether it’s a movie or a TV show, before the first project’s release. However, in some instances, the creators are confident that their project will bring a lot of money, so they go one step further to surprise fans with the announcement of a sequel. Well, such is the case with How to Train Your Dragon live action.
Dean DeBlois, the mind who gave us the animated film series and is also responsible for the live-action, announced the sequel during the CinemaCon event on April 2, 2025 . Fans were expecting to see another glimpse of the first movie, but hardly anyone expected that the creator would throw in an announcement for a sequel. On top of that, Dean also confirmed that How to Train Your Dragon will release on June 11, 2027 .
Toothless and Hiccup’s story deserves every bit of love. Now, we hope that the live-action version meets everyone’s expectations, which, obviously, are extremely high — all thanks to the popularity of the animated film series.
