He also added that the story of the last film will go back to where Cressida Cowell’s book begin.

“[Dragon 3 is] the culmination of Hiccup’s coming of age. 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 added, reports Collider.

The director also hinted that Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III will be shown as an adult in the film and he will remember the times when dragons existed. The main story of the film could possibly revolve around the returning of dragon, reported the website. It has also been reported that Drago Bludvist, an evil warlord and dragon hunter will have a bigger role in the third instalment. The complexities of the character will reportedly be brought into the limelight.

He revealed at the award function that he has written half of the script and will soon complete it. Jay Baruchel will return as the voice of Hicuup. The rest of the cast are yet not confirmed. It is also rumoured that Guillermo del Toro will give the voice for the new villain in the movie, according to IMBD.
