Key facts

Interesting facts

How to Train Your Dragon is the first live-action feature ever produced by DreamWorks Animation, and Dean DeBlois, who co-directed all three animated films, returned to write and direct it with what he described as full creative control over the adaptation.

Gerard Butler, who voiced Stoick the Vast across the animated trilogy, returned to play the Viking chief in the flesh, at times performing in a costume and armor reported to weigh around ninety pounds.

Composer John Powell reprised the sweeping themes he wrote for the animated films, and the production leaned on practical Viking sets built in Belfast and eight-axis gimbal rigs so the young cast could perform against dragon stand-ins rather than empty air.

Description

How to Train Your Dragon is a 2025 live-action fantasy adventure from Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Animation, written and directed by Dean DeBlois, who co-wrote and co-directed the beloved animated trilogy it reimagines. It stands as DreamWorks Animation's first live-action feature, with DeBlois returning to translate the 2010 original into flesh, scale, and photoreal dragons while keeping its emotional core intact.

Set on the rugged Viking island of Berk, where humans and dragons have warred for generations, the story follows Hiccup (Mason Thames), the inventive, underestimated son of chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler). When Hiccup secretly befriends a wounded Night Fury he names Toothless, their bond overturns everything his people believe about dragons and threatens the only way of life Berk has ever known. Nico Parker co-stars as Astrid, with Nick Frost as Gobber and Julian Dennison as Fishlegs.

Released in June 2025, the remake earned an "A" CinemaScore matching the original animated film and grossed more than $630 million worldwide, launching a new live-action franchise. Critics praised its faithful spectacle and John Powell's returning score, even as some felt it hewed closely to its predecessor. It is streaming on Peacock.

Captain America: The First Avenger will not be just another one of those "ripped from the comics" movies that have become a 2011 Hollywood staple. No way. "Captain America himself looks remarkably fit for a super-hero who celebrated his seventieth birthday in 2011, and his box office prospects are remarkably sanguine, too. For all those years, Captain America consistently has ranked well-up the list of popular comic characters. Maybe not the sexiest man alive, but a perpetual contender, and always the consummate patriot. Therefore, producers, writers, directors, actors, cinematographers, all the grips, and even the craft services crew understand they have their hands full as they make Captain America: The First Avenger. Their main character is, after all, revered as the United States' bravest, noblest, most-selfless, and greatest hundred-and-one percent hero…ever. "Captain America: The First Avenger tells the story from the beginning. Our hero, Steve Rogers, is rejected for service in World War II—very highly motivated but sadly unfit physically. Determined to serve, Rogers volunteers for "Project: Rebirth," a super-secret project that gives him the ultimate make-over, making him a super-soldier. The brass dub him "Captain America" upon his completion of training. Teaming-up with intrepid sidekick Bucky Barnes, "The First Avenger" kicks some serious Nazi butt as he fights "Red Skull," director of advanced weaponry for the Reich. Well-funded, well cast, well-scripted, Captain America: The First Avenger promises to kick some serious box office butt in the summer of 2011, putting all those other comic movies to shame.
