"How To Train Your Dragon" has a brand-new trailer showing the budding friendship between a Viking and dragon.

The trailer, released by Universal Pictures on Wednesday following a brief Super Bowl LIX spot on Sunday, also features Gerard Butler reprising his voice role from 15 years ago as Stoick the Vast, Hiccup's father.

Fire-breathing dragons are seen in all their fury in the new trailer, before Thames' Hiccup develops sympathy for Toothless, one of the beasts.

"Maybe they're not as bad as we think they are," Hiccup says in a voice-over.

Stoick pleads the Viking case to Hiccup, exclaiming, "They've killed hundreds of us," to which Hiccup responds, "And we've killed thousands of them."
