Butler voiced Stoick the Vast in all three films from the How to Train Your Dragon franchise, and he’s getting ready to reunite with this character. The Scottish actor joined the cast of its live-action remake, which will also star Mason Thames as Hiccup and Nico Parker as Astrid.

The live-action adaptation hails from Dean DeBlois, who’s directing, writing, and producing this project. Marc Platt and Adam Siegel are also producing the film via Marc Platt Productions, while Lexi Barta is overseeing it on behalf of Universal.

Just like the original How to Train Your Dragon films, the live-action version will center on the adventures of the young Viking Hiccup and his dragon Toothless. It’s scheduled to be released on June 13, 2025.

Butler remains one of Hollywood’s busiest action stars, and he has several high-profile projects on the way, including Den of Thieves 2: Pantera and In the Hand of Dante.

In the Hand of Dante is based on Nick Tosches’ book of the same name, and the action kicks off when the original manuscript of Dante’s The Divine Comedy emerges on the black market. The mob calls a weary scholar Nick to authenticate it, but he can’t resist the temptation to steal it for himself.

His choice takes him on a dark and violent path, where Nick and Dante’s timelines weave separate paths, but with many similarities that tie them together, as they lose themselves chasing love, beauty, and the very promise of the divine. 

Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa, and Gerard Butler will head to Italy to film this project, which landed an interim agreement from SAG-AFTRA allowing them to film during the actors’ strike. Oscar nominee Julian Schnabel is coming on board as a director and one of the executive producers, along with Isaac through his production company Mad Gene Media, and Martin Scorsese alongside DreamCrew, Screen Capital/Screen One, and Tribune Pictures.

Butler said that he doesn’t know the exact release date but did share some details about the movie’s plot. According to him, the story of the sequel will take place in Europe and has his character Detective “Big Nick” O’Brien still chasing robber Donnie Wilson (O’Shea Jackson Jr.).

“I go over to hunt him down, but with different intentions than you might imagine. So we’re gonna be in Marseilles, the Alps, and London—it’s definitely a more glamorous journey than the last one, and probably a more fun, sexy journey,” he added.

Directed by Christian Gudegast, Den of Thieves centers on a police squad that is attempting to stop a group of thieves from robbing the Federal Reserve in Los Angeles. The movie received mixed reviews from critics but ended up being a box-office success and earning $80.5 million compared to a $30 million budget. Besides Butler and Jackson, the movie also starred rapper 50 Cent, Max Holloway, Evan Jones, Mo McRae, Dawn Olivieri, and Pablo Schreiber.

The sequel was picked up shortly after the release of the original movie and will see Gudegast returning as a writer and director. Butler and Jackson are the only returning members of the cast confirmed so far.

Butler and Baccarin will reprise their roles as John and Allison Garrity while most of the team behind the cameras is set to make their return as well. This includes director Ric Roman Waugh and writer Chris Sparling.

The first Greenland movie follows the Garrity family and their fight for survival while a huge comet is heading towards Earth and threatening to end the world as we know it. The feature received positive reviews from the critics and had a modest box-office success despite receiving a limited theatrical release due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The sequel will reportedly once again focus on the Garritys, who survived the comet hit in their Greenland bunker. They now have to leave the bunker’s safety and embark on a dangerous journey across frozen Europe to find a new home.

Director Waugh confirmed the news about Greenland: Migration on social media while saying he is “really looking forward to the next chapter of the Garritys post the first extinction event.”

Butler is set to portray an undercover CIA operative working in the Middle East, who finds himself stuck in the heart of a hostile territory after his identity is revealed. He must fight his way out of the dessert while the elite Special Forces are out to get him.

Kandahar will be directed by Ric Roman Waugh, who previously collaborated with Butler on Angel Has Fallen and the upcoming disaster film Greenland. He co-wrote the script with former military intelligence officer Mitchell LaFortune.

Kandahar will be produced by Thunder Road Films, the same company in charge of Greenland. Producer Basil Iwanyk said it’s a pleasure to reunite with Butler and Waugh again.

“We are so thrilled to be able to bring the Greenland band back together again. Mitch’s script has always been a jewel in our slate, and to have this team bring it to life is a dream come true for us,” Iwanyk said in a statement.

The Blurred Lines singer, his girlfriend April Love Geary, and their 8-month-old daughter, Mia, were evacuated from their Malibu home on Friday as a result of the wildfires currently blazing across California.

April, who is currently pregnant, revealed on her Instagram story that the family’s house had burnt down.

Following the tragedy, Robin posted a message to fans on his own Instagram:

“April, Julian, Mia and I would like to than the courageous firefighters and volunteers. As we drove to safety they risked their lives trying to save our home. We are safe and surrounded by friends and family. We thank you for all the love and support we’ve received, and we send our love and prayers to everyone affected by the fires. Count your blessings,” he wrote.

Robin and April were not the only ones to gave their homes lost, as Gerald Butler, too, was affected by the blaze.

The Tomorrow Never Dies actor posted a picture of the remnants of his house, calling it a heartbreaking time.
