First full trailer for How to Train Your Dragon 2 teases epic adventure and Hiccup’s mother

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

A full trailer for HOW TO DRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 has finally been released, and besides looking epic and fun as hell, it also reveals the identity of Cate Blanchett's character, Valka. I suppose it could be a spoiler, but since it's in the trailer anyway, I figured it wasn't that big of a deal; it's not as if Dreamworks is trying to keep it a secret. Valka (who we got a first look at a few days ago) is apparently Hiccup's mother, and according to director Dean DeBlois, has been, "living with the animals and learning to communicate with them in non-verbal ways and becoming much like a dragon herself. Her years of isolation and dealing with nothing but dragons and being very sympathetic to them has made her very distrusting of humans.” Enough from me though, take a look at the first full trailer for HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2.

"Protect our people. It's your destiny."

Synopsis:

It's been five years since Hiccup and Toothless successfully united dragons and vikings on the island of Berk. While Astrid, Snoutlout and the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the island's new favorite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new worlds. When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace. Now, Hiccup and Toothless must unite to stand up for what they believe while recognizing that only together do they have the power to change the future of both men and dragons.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 starring Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Kristen Wiig, Jonah Hill, America Ferrera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Cate Blanchett, Djimon Hounsou, Kit Harington, and Craig Ferguson will be released on June 20, 2014.
