Hiccup & Toothless Take Flight In Live-Action How to Train Your Dragon Super Bowl Spot

Universal Pictures revealed the latest look at its live-action How to Train Your Dragon movie during the Super Bowl and the ad is now online. You can see the spot below, which features Hiccup (Mason Thames) making a connection with his dragon Toothless as well as the two in the skies.

The live-action film comes from Dean DeBlois, who wrote and directed the film based on the animated original that he co-directed. The movie stars Thames, Gerard Butler, Nico Parker, Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, and Nick Frost and arrives on June 13th. It’s described as follows:

On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames; The Black Phone, For All Mankind) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society.

With the fierce and ambitious Astrid (BAFTA nominee Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us) and the village’s quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost; Snow White and the Huntsman, Shaun of the Dead) by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding.

As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup’s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.
