Toothless will take flight once more as Universal has announced they will be releasing a live-action big screen adaptation of DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon in 2025.
The film will be in safe hands with Dean DeBlois, who was both writer and director of the Academy Award-nominated trilogy — 2010’s How to Train Your Dragon, How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World from 2019, which wrapped up the series beautifully. All three films were nominated for Best Animated Feature by the Academy.
The series was set in the mythical Viking village of Berk, and revolved around the adventures of an eccentric teenage Viking named Hiccup, who stumbles across an injured dragon one day. Naming the dragon Toothless, the pair form an unbreakable bond that continues through the series. Unlike other animated series, the How to Train Your Dragon series featured the characters visibly aging and eventually becoming adults, which added a certain level of emotional weight to the saga.
