When Is 'How To Train Your Dragon' Coming To Streaming?
Universal Pictures
How to Train Your Dragon soared into theaters on Friday, June 13. The film is a live-action remake of the beloved 2010 animated film that kicked off the franchise. If you're waiting to watch it at home, here's what to know about when How to Train Your Dragon will likely start streaming.
Dean DeBlois, who wrote and directed all three animated How to Train Your Dragon films, is once again behind the reins for the 2025 live-action remake. Also returning is Gerard Butler, who played Viking chief Stoick the Vast in each of the animated installments. The remake also stars Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Ruth Codd, Peter Serafinowicz and Murray McArthur.
'On the rugged isle of Berk, a Viking boy named Hiccup defies centuries of tradition by befriending a dragon named Toothless. However, when an ancient threat emerges that endangers both species, Hiccup's friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future,' the official synopsis reads. '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.'
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Butler explained how his approach to his character differed this time around compared to the animated films.
'When I watch myself, there's moments where I go, 'That's very like how I did it before,' then there's moments where you just go completely different," he said. "What I did want to do was be fresh, coming in there and starting as a new story and suddenly I'm embodying that all day long — I didn't get to do that when I was just doing the voice. I wore my pajamas every day.'

Celebrities Are Jumping Into The Sydney Sweeney AE Drama, And It's Getting Messier By The Minute
More and more people are speaking out amid the growing discourse surrounding Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad — including celebrities. In case you missed it, American Eagle released new denim ads featuring Sydney last month, using the tagline "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans." One of the promotional videos shows the blond-haired, blue-eyed actor playing on the words of the campaign as she tells the camera: "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color." She then said, "My jeans are blue." While AE described the launch as "a return to essential denim dressing," some took issue with the "great jeans" tagline, calling it a coded message promoting eugenics. Related: @EllaYurman / American Eagle / Via Twitter: @EllaYurman Some also criticized the hypersexualized nature of some of the videos and the apparent nod to Calvin Klein's super controversial 1980 ad with a then-15-year-old Brooke Shields. @killvolo / American Eagle / Via Twitter: @killvolo Related: And amid the controversy, celebs started weighing in. Here's what they said. Doja Cat famously mocked Sydney's voice on TikTok: @dojacat / Via Courtney Stodden criticized AE for "pushing this hypersexualized 'All-American girl' image to sell JEANS" in a statement on Instagram. She wrote, "First of all—this isn't about Sydney. I don't know her personally and this isn't about tearing another woman down. But I do think it's important we talk about the bigger picture." She continued, "Let's be real: I have blonde hair, blue eyes and curves since I was a kid. I was sexualized by the system // powerful men before I was even old enough to understand what was happening. I've been there— marketed, minimized, misrepresented. So when I see a big-budget ad pushing this hypersexualized 'All-American girl' image to sell JEANS, all I can think is... here we go again." "Another billionaire-backed fantasy being sold to us like it's harmless nostalgia," Courtney added. "But it's rooted in racism. It's also a recycled idea of womanhood created for the silly male gaze and mass consumption." "We deserve better," Courtney said, as she also called out the original ad for its depictions of an "underage" Brooke Shields. "We are better." Lizzo responded to the ad with satire. On Thursday, she took to Instagram to share a fake meme of herself wearing a denim outfit similar to the one Sydney wore in the ad. It had the words "If the Democrats won the election" written over it as Lizzo joked in the caption, "My jeans are black…" Related: Sen. Ted Cruz defended Sydney from the "crazy Left" on X. Reacting to a New York Post article about the backlash, Ted wrote, "Wow. Now the crazy Left has come out against beautiful women. I'm sure that will poll well...." @tedcruz / American Eagle / Via Twitter: @tedcruz 7th Heaven actor Jeremy London tweeted, "Nobody.. And I repeat nobody... Gives a fuck about what Sydney Sweeney is wearing in a stupid commercial." @SirJeremyLondon / Via Twitter: @SirJeremyLondon "We're so starved for ads with hot women we're losing it over Sydney Sweeney dressed like she's Jay Leno," added comedian Joe DeVito. @JoeDeVitoComedy / Via Twitter: @JoeDeVitoComedy Gabby Windey from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette called the AE videos "terrifying." JD Vance said the left was blowing it out of proportion. "They're trying to sell, you know, sell jeans to kids in America," he explained on the Ruthless Podcast. "And they have managed to so unhinge themselves over this thing." He said, "It's like, you guys, did you learn nothing from the November 2024 election? Like I actually thought that one of the lessons they might take is we're going to be less crazy. The lesson they have apparently taken is we're going to attack people as Nazis for thinking Sydney Sweeney is beautiful. Great strategy, guys." Related: Former race car driver and Trump supporter Danica Patrick didn't seem to see the issue with Sydney's ad. "Can anyone tell me what's wrong with the new AE ads?" she reportedly wrote on Instagram. "Very confused." And Megyn Kelly called the backlash "absurd." "There's nothing wrong with being white," she said. "It's fine, she can be white, too. It's like, now, we're going to see an ad with a Black woman and the reference to genes, too, and that won't satisfy them." In true fashion, Desi Lydic made fun of Sydney's accent — then she got serious and criticized the right-wing backlash, including Megyn Kelly for saying that white, blonde, and blue-eyed women are never "allowed" to be celebrated. "This is such bullshit," Desi expressed. "Blonde women have had constant representation, okay? In entertainment, fashion, in letter-turning. It's not that they want to see more white women. They want to see none of anyone else." She also said, "For a story about boobs, it sure has a lot of assholes." Finally, Elon Musk laughed at how the whole thing brought Sydney more exposure "for her 'good genes.'" @elonmusk / Via Twitter: @elonmusk So far, Sydney herself hasn't directly responded to the backlash, but AE stood by the campaign in a statement shared to its social media accounts yesterday.

Cool Early Concept Art Revealed For Galactus in THE FANTASTIC FOUR
When The Fantastic Four: First Steps finally brought Galactus to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans were ecstatic to see that he looked exactly like we always imagined, and ripped straight out of the pages of the comics. Thanks to new concept art revealed by Ryan Meinerding, the movie's head of visual development, we now know that this comic-accurate look was baked into the design from the very beginning. In an interview with Variety, Meinerding opened up about his work bringing the Devourer of Worlds to life and how central Jack Kirby's legendary designs were to the creative process. 'There was a lot of work on Galactus, trying to figure out the appropriate scale and how he's going to be experienced for the first time, and we did key frames surrounding that. But Galactus was a complete joy to work on.' The scale of Galactus was clearly a challenge, not just in terms of size but in capturing that intimidating, otherworldly presence. 'He was challenging to try to get as much detail on. He was meant to be one of those cosmic characters that you almost can't fully appreciate how big he is. We also stayed close to the Kirby design. 'So I'd say that out of the designs I worked on, Galactus and The Thing are probably two of the most Kirby-inspired characters I've ever been able to work on.' This kind of love and loyalty to Kirby's iconic style is what made Fantastic Four: First Steps feel so damn special. The film gave us that larger-than-life sense of awe and wonder that made the comics timeless. You could feel the cosmic awesomeness, the pure sci-fi magic, and the bold visual storytelling that Kirby poured into every panel. Seeing Galactus revealed in this way just solidifies how much care was put into getting him right. From the very start, Marvel knew what fans wanted, and they delivered something that both honors the past and brings that epic energy to a new generation.
