The skies of cinematic imagination erupted when DreamWorks released How to Train Your Dragon as a live-action spectacle, turning the once animated world of Vikings and dragons into a tangible, almost smellable adventure. Audiences flocked to theaters, marveling at the chemistry between Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and Toothless, the Night Fury with more charisma than most Hollywood stars. Fans from Tokyo to Toronto have been speculating endlessly, debating plotlines and sequel possibilities, anxiously pondering when How to Train Your Dragon 2 would finally take flight. Thankfully, Mason Thames has intervened.

For the impatient, Mason Thames has now offered a glimpse into the How to Train Your Dragon 2 situation.

Mason Thames, with the serene confidence of a boy who has tamed at least one metaphorical dragon, disclosed during his exchange with ScreenRant interviewer Grant Hermanns that filming for How To Train Your Dragon 2 will begin “in a week or two.” This timely revelation delighted fans, who had been sharpening their patience to a dangerous point. Thames declared his eagerness to return to the role of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, a character he described as his most cherished, a sentiment delivered with almost suspicious earnestness.

When the subject drifted toward the elusive casting of Hiccup’s mother, Hermanns made a second attempt on behalf of ScreenRant to extract a detail or two. Thames sidestepped with admirable dexterity, offering nothing more incriminating than a polite assurance that whoever secures the role, whether the ink is fresh or long dry, will be “great”, a polished response befitting someone who clearly respects the studio’s nondisclosure boundaries.

Mason Thames is soaring through Hollywood with the confidence of a newly bonded Dragon Rider, collecting roles and, if whispers are true, perhaps sharing a few sparks with McKenna Grace.

Mason Thames is rapidly emerging as one of Hollywood’s most formidable new talents, earning industry admiration with a career trajectory that resembles a strategic dragon launch rather than a typical rise. In 2025 alone, Thames delivered leading performances in three major films: How To Train Your Dragon, Regretting You, and Black Phone 2. Executives cite his unusual blend of box office power, emotional agility, and quiet self-assurance as evidence that Hollywood may have found its next long-term cornerstone.

His colleagues, clearly charmed, insist that Thames possesses a humility that borders on the athletic, likely a remnant of his years spent leaping through professional ballet. Gerard Butler has labeled him “very talented” and “very humble,” a combination that usually exists only in folklore or studio press releases. Thames’s desire to direct adds another layer, implying that Hollywood’s newest prodigy may someday run the entire operation just to save everyone time.
