In a Facebook post on the film's page, moviegoers can expect to “discover a new world” when the third movie comes out. To go with this tagline, the third installment is set to be called How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.

There will be an official sneak peek of the upcoming film at this year's Annecy International Animation Film Festival, and as Variety reports, “attendees to the festival will learn more about the making of the film as part of an extended presentation on DreamWorks Animation’s films and the work of How To Train Your Dragon director Dean DeBlois.” 

The festival is scheduled to take place on Thursday, June 14. 

Collider shared the film's synopsis that reads: “As Hiccup fulfills his dream of creating a peaceful dragon utopia, Toothless’ discovery of an untamed, elusive mate draws the Night Fury away. When danger mounts at home and Hiccup’s reign as village chief is tested, both dragon and rider must make impossible decisions to save their kind.”

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World is slated to hit theaters March 1, 2019.
