t’s the news that Dragon Ball fans have been waiting for! The all-new Dragon Ball Super movie will be hitting Japanese theaters in 2022!

The fact that a new movie is in production isn’t new information – that was a detail shared by Shueisha’s Dragon Ball department head Akio Iyoku in an interview included with the Japanese Blu-ray release of Dragon Ball Super: Broly back in 2019. But now with the addition of the release year, fans are excited to start counting down the months.

Dragon Ball series creator Akira Toriyama even shared a special message with fans to celebrate the news, confirming his involvement with the new film as well!
Making the announcement a little more fun, Toei Animation released the news on May 9 a.k.a Goku Day. Originally a fan holiday, Goku Day was officially recognized by the Japan Anniversary Association in 2015 during the franchise’s 30th anniversary celebrations. Last year, the Dragon Ball series polled fans on which of 30 select Goku outfits was their favorite. The winning choice will get released as a special figure this year.

Dragon Ball Super: Broly, which debuted in Japanese theaters in December 2018, grossed over $124 million worldwide during its theatrical run, including $35 million in the Japanese box office and over $30 million in the United States box office. It’s currently the thirteenth highest grossing anime film of all time worldwide.

The Broly movie was insane, I have hopes for this one as well.

Dragon Ball Super: Resurrection C

Cell? Cooler? it definitely could happen

for my part i think i would like a movie set on universe 6 since they also Saiyans / Nameks / Humans, could be interesting

The Broly movie was insane, I have hopes for this one as well.

DSB: Broly definitely is the best Dragon ball movie, second i think would be Fusion Reborn (which also features Gogeta, starting to see a pattern here...)

the new version of Broly really is an improvement, i always thought that old Broly hating Goku for crying next to him was very petty
now instead with the new one you get to feel bad for him, he is just a nice dude that got screwed hard by life,
also the fact that he is the only non fused character to match Goku/Vegeta's fusion, i'm hoping he joins the main cast soon

I was thinking Cell since he is the most popular main antagonist after Frieza but maybe that wouldn't be "unexpected". I would like to see Raditz return but it wouldn't work due to the power difference. Maybe they can do something with Uub.

I love DB but the power scaling is so ridiculous that it makes almost all characters redundant and whoever returns would need a crazy power boost.

Yeah this new Broly has an actual backstory, which is why I'm excited Toriyama is back to work on this new movie.

There's been a lot of rumors Cell was making a comeback but I agree it wouldn't be that unexpected. I think maybe Goku's father will play a role. In an OVA some years ago he was basically featured as the Super Saiyan of legend due to bs time travel lol, maybe they will make that canon in this movie?
