Update 20 November:

Replaced with the official announcement:

Original report:

The first trailer for the live-action version of "How to Train Your Dragon" has been leaked. The film is adapted from the classic DreamWorks animated film released in 2010.

Leaked trailer:

In the live-action version of the film, Mason Thames plays Hiccup, the female lead is replaced by a black man, and Gerard Butler once again plays the father of the protagonist Hiccup, the rugged Viking father Stoick the Vast. In the animated version of "How to Train Your Dragon", Gerard Butler was also the voice actor of the Viking father Stoick, so this time he is returning to the role.

The original blonde and white heroine in the animated film was played by an actress of black descent in the live-action version. Many people expressed their disapproval of the live-action casting. The heroine of the animation, Astrid Hoffenheim, is a female Viking living on Berk Island.

"I guess they forgot that this is a story about Vikings." Some people think that this "color change" is completely unnecessary, and even complained: "It's like they are going to make Goku (Dragon Ball) black in the live-action version."

The live-action version of "How to Train Your Dragon" is directed by Dean DeBlois, the director of the animated version. It will be filmed in Northern Ireland this year and will be released in North America on June 13, 2025!
