So, you’ve already watched the trailer twice, paused it to zoom in on Toothless’ wings, and maybe even shed a nostalgic tear when Hiccup showed up? You’re not alone. DreamWorks is taking us back to Berk. Only this time, it’s live-action, and yes, it looks incredible.
Set to soar into cinemas on 13 June 2025, How to Train Your Dragon is getting the real-world treatment. The 2010 animated classic has been reimagined as a fantasy adventure film that hits differently when there are actual humans riding dragons.
Starring Mason Thames as Hiccup, Nico Parker as Astrid, Julian Dennison as Fishlegs, and Gerard Butler returning as Stoick, the new version sticks close to the heart of the original: a Viking teen, a dragon, and a friendship that could change everything.

And now for the best part: you could win a movie hamper packed with official Dragon & Viking action figure sets. Thanks to the legends at UIP, we’ve got a hamper to give away, which includes:
1 x 7-inch Gronckle and 3-inch Fishlegs duo
1 x 13-inch Toothless and 3-inch Hiccup combo

These aren’t just pretty shelf pieces. We’re talking movie-accurate design, movable limbs, and yes, even dragon wings. You can peg Hiccup onto Toothless or Fishlegs onto Gronckle and recreate your favourite flying scenes.
