The teaser trailer for the live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon is here.

Released by Universal Pictures on Wednesday, Nov. 20, the teaser trailer gave a first look at some of the movie’s main characters, Hiccup, played by Mason Thames, and the famous dragon Toothless.

Hiccup is seen reluctantly preparing to kill a dragon as part of his Viking training. He later on fails in his attempt and instead befriends an adorable night fury dragon named Toothless. 

Also included in the teaser trailer is Gerard Butler, who is reprising his role in the animated version as Hiccup’s father, Stoick the Vast. 

Also joining the cast are Nico Parker who will portray Astrid and Nick Frost as Gobber the Belch. Other cast members include Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Ruth Codd, BAFTA nominee Peter Serafinowicz, and Murray McArthur. 

The live-action adaptation is helmed by Dean DeBlois, who also created the animated trilogy. It's set to premiere in cinemas on June 13. 

Based on Cressida Cowell's 2003 book, How to Train Your Dragon tells the adventure of two unlikely best friends, Hiccup and Toothless. 

Hiccup is a misfit teen in the Viking village of Berk where people fight with dragons for a living. His dream to become a true Viking changed when he met Toothless, an injured dragon. The two became best friends and managed to change the longstanding feud between the Vikings and the dragons.

The first film of the same title was released in 2010 and was followed by another one released in 2014. The latest film, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, came out in 2019. It also spawned three television series, namely DreamWorks Dragons, Rescue Riders, and The Nine Realms, as well as a short film titled Dragons: Gift of the Night Fury.
