How to train your dragon: The live action remake is shaping up to be one of the most successful films of the summer. DreamWorks has already announced that the sequel will also receive the live action treatment. Positive reactions to the trailers and the excitement surrounding the property have given DreamWorks confidence in the success of its first foray into live action remakes.
In How to train your dragon, the best characters were introduced in the first film. However, some characters introduced in later movies, like Eret in How to train your dragon 2, felt underdeveloped and not fully utilized, despite their potential.

Eret felt like a late addition in the movie
The main reason Eret did not make a strong impression in How to train your dragon 2 was due to his rushed and underdeveloped character arc. He felt more like a plot device than a fully realized character, which ultimately diminished his impact on the franchise.

Improving Eret’s story could enhance the franchise as a whole
With the new live action version of How to train your dragon 2, filmmakers have the opportunity to give Eret a more substantial role. This would not only enrich the character but also expand the world of the franchise in a natural way, potentially paving the way for spin-offs.
It would be great to see more of the world through Eret’s perspective and explore his background, which likely extends beyond Berk.
The How to train your dragon films have primarily focused on Hiccup and Toothless’s journey, with Berk being the central point. Expanding Eret’s story could provide a fresh perspective and delve into uncharted territories, enriching the overall narrative of the franchise.
