However, convincing his tribe of this will prove to be a difficult task.
Dean DeBlois, the creator of the original animated film, serves as the director, screenwriter, and producer for the movie. The main roles are played by Mason Thames, Gabriel Howell, Gerard Butler, Nico Parker, and Julian Dennison. The worldwide premiere of the film is set for June 13, 2025.
