There may be spinoffs to come , but my involvement and my dedication to completing a story that has a reason for being and a impregnable sense of integrity and three chapter I think is in place and entire . Everybody seems to be in agreement that we ’re moving in the right centering . "

" I ’m also wager with the melodic theme of what happened to the firedrake and why they are no more , as paint a picture by Cressida Cowell ’s books . So the whole mystery of where did they go ? Did they come back ? What transpired ? I opine it ’s all compelling stuff and it ’s definitely a narrative that ’s gon na have a deal more Toothless emphasis in it . We continue to get more sixth sense into the dragon world and shed light on their intelligence and all the aspects that we ’ve been slowly cooking over the last two films . "
