After the success of the "How To Train Your Dragon" and "How To Train Your Dragon 2," DreamWorks Pictures is set to release the 3rd installment in summer 2018.
Now, there have been some reports on a potential plot for the third film. As per screenrant.com, Jay Baruchel will return as the voice of Hiccup and Dean DeBlois will be writing and directing again.
In an interview on Collider, the director spoke about the possible storyline for the last film of the trilogy. "[Dragon 3 is] the culmination of Hiccup's coming of age," he said. "Both he and Toothless are now chiefs of their respective tribes, and it's a dueling story where you have both characters trying to do what's right for their kind, and an eventual outcome where Hiccup is able to stand on his own."
He then added "We're gonna take the story to where the books begin, which is Hiccup as an adult reflecting back on a time where there were dragons, suggesting that the dragons will in some way go away. Why and could they come back and the mystery of what all that is will be saved for the actual story."
"It continues to be the third act of this trilogy and we get to see Hiccup's coming of age come to a completion," the director added. "I think it's all compelling stuff and it's definitely a story that's gonna have a lot more Toothless emphasis in it. We continue to get more insight into the dragon world and shed light on their intelligence and all the aspects that we've been slowly cooking over the last two films."
As for the status of his writing, he said "There were a few months of pitching outlines and making sure that everybody was content with where it was headed, and now I'm deep into the script. I'm about halfway through. I was literally working on it this afternoon before coming here. I have to hand it off pretty soon."
