This year 2021 marks a new edition of the virtual Comic Con festival entitled Comic-Con @ home , an unmissable event to learn more about the films and television series to come in the coming months and years. This 2021 edition is no exception and allows us to discover new visuals of the next film Dragon Ball Super , but also its final title. In addition, the illustrious author of the original manga Akira Toriyama has also made a statement to fans, pending the release of this new feature film.
Thus, this second animated film adapted from the Dragon Ball Super series will be titled Dragon ball Super: Super Hero and, if it was not clear at first glance, will be very focused on a "superhero" aspect - without that we have more details on this subject.
Pan, Piccolo, Krillin, and a surprise guest
We also discover the first conceptual drawings for the new characters - including a sort of alien in an orange uniform - but also new visuals for characters well known to fans. We thus find Piccolo and his legendary taciturn air, but also the very young Pan, just a child for this feature film. Krillin will also make an appearance - without a mustache, but still in a police uniform. Will we find the Great Saiyama in Super Hero ? Nothing is less sure.
No concrete clip from the film was included during the Comic-Con panel but the production shared a short clip featuring Goku. Toriyama also shared a message for the fan community:
"After Dragon Ball Super: Broly, a brand new movie is currently in production!
Just like the previous film, I am very involved in the production of the script and the dialogues for this new feature film.
I really shouldn't be talking about the story right now, but expect some extreme, fun battles, which might feature an unexpected character.
We're going to venture into uncharted waters in terms of visual aesthetics to give audiences a great experience, so I hope you all look forward to this new movie! "
The release of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is expected for the year 2022
