How to Train Your Dragon 4: The Resurrection of Flame (2026) Reignites the Skies With Fire, Destiny, and Legacy

The skies of Berk are about to burn once more. How to Train Your Dragon 4: The Resurrection of Flame (2026) marks a powerful return to one of animation’s most beloved fantasy worlds, reigniting the legendary bond between Vikings and dragons in a story fueled by destiny, sacrifice, and ancient fire.

Jay Baruchel returns as Hiccup, now a battle-hardened Chief whose leadership has been forged through years of peace—and the quiet fear of losing it. When a long-dormant power stirs beneath the earth, threatening to consume the Hidden World in an unquenchable blaze, Hiccup is forced into his most perilous journey yet. This is no longer the story of a boy learning to lead, but of a leader confronting forces older than any alliance.

Adding emotional weight to the narrative is the haunting return of Stoick the Vast, portrayed by Gerard Butler. Appearing through visions and prophecy, Stoick serves as both guide and reminder of the Viking past, urging his son to face a truth written in ancient runes and blood-bound legend. Their connection becomes the emotional core of the film—bridging generations through wisdom, loss, and courage.

Christopher Mintz-Plasse reprises his role as Fishlegs, bringing intellect and heart to the unfolding crisis. As forgotten knowledge of dragon flame resurfaces, Fishlegs uncovers secrets meant to remain buried—truths about a primordial, flame-born breed of dragons whose power threatens to reduce the skies to ash.

This time, the conflict is not merely about survival—it is about the soul of the dragons themselves. As these ancient creatures rise, Hiccup must unite fractured skies and rival forces before fire consumes everything the world has built. The film delivers breathtaking aerial battles, sweeping vistas, and emotionally charged confrontations that honor the franchise’s legacy while pushing it into darker, more mythic territory.
