The live-action How to Train Your Dragon movie will give fans the chance to collect their very own Toothless popcorn bucket. The film hits theaters on June 13.

Regal Movies posted the first look at the How to Train Your Dragon Toothless popcorn bucket on X (formerly Twitter) with a video that calls it "the cutest collectible". "He’s loyal. He’s legendary. He holds your popcorn. Meet the Toothless popcorn container you never knew you needed," Regal Movies wrote. The container features an adorable stylized version of Toothless, the iconic dragon from the franchise, whose mouth opens up to store popcorn.

The live-action How to Train Your Dragon movie is a remake of the 2010 animated film and will star Mason Thames as Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, the awkward son of the chieftain Stoick the Vast. Gerard Butler will reprise the role of Hiccup's father, one he originated in the original animated films.

The new entry in the franchise marks the first live-action production from DreamWorks Animation and is also the studio's first remake. Plans for the live-action How to Train Your Dragon were announced back in 2023, with Dean DeBlois returning to write, direct and produce it after previously handling the animated movies. The franchise has been incredibly successful for DreamWorks, with each of the three films nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. The movies have also earned over $1.6 billion worldwide combined, making it one of the most successful animated franchises of all time.

How to Train Your Dragon premiered last month at CinemaCon on April 2. At the same time, a sequel was also announced, with a live-action remake of the second film, How to Train Your Dragon 2, currently in development and scheduled to be released on June 11, 2027.

The How to Train Your Dragon Remake "Improves" Upon Animated Original

According to DeBlois, the new How to Train Your Dragon film will be an improvement upon its original source material. "The first movie was made in a rush, and I’m super proud of it, but there are things that we could have done even better," DeBlois said recently. Despite all this, he is still proud of the animated film.

"We still had time and money to go a little deeper with characters, to enrich the experience, to make the action scenes, the flying, more visceral, more immersive, but also make the character relationships a little richer and deeper," DeBlois continued. "Hopefully, the experience would be something that echoes to the familiarity and the nostalgia of the first movie, but with depth. There are many ways we could have gone, but that’s the way that felt most comfortable to me, because I am really proud of that animated movie."

How to Train Your Dragon hits theaters on June 13, with the Toothless popcorn bucket being available at Regal Movies.
