Live-Action How to Train Your Dragon Film Set for 2025

Universal Pictures has confirmed a live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon is in the works, even giving it a 2025 release date!

Yes, the reports swirling around turned out to be true. Universal is taking a page out of Disney’s book and taking their animated classics and giving them the live-action treatment. That’s right, we’re getting a live-action How to Train Your Dragon movie! While it’s okay to be hesitant about such things, it is nice to know Dean DeBlois, who wrote/directed all three HTTYD films, is returning to write and direct this new version.

Seems like Universal has been planning this for a bit and has already set the film up with a March 14, 2025 release date.

For more than a decade, DreamWorks Animation’s epic animated film trilogy about the friendship between a young man and his dragon has moved, inspired and delighted audiences worldwide.

Now, a new live-action adaptation of the blockbuster How to Train Your Dragon franchise will transport audiences for the first time into a new cinematic experience and a bold, thrilling new chapter in the beloved story of Viking Hiccup and his Night Fury dragon, Toothless.

The film will be written and directed by three-time Academy Award® nominee Dean DeBlois, who has written and directed all three films in animated trilogy (How to Train Your Dragon, How to Train Your Dragon 2, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World). The franchise is based on the best-selling books series by Cressida Cowell.

The live-action film will be produced by three-time Oscar® nominee Marc Platt (La La Land, Bridge of Spies), Dean DeBlois and Emmy winner Adam Siegel (2 Guns, Drive).
