Crunchyroll’s continuing to work on bringing out the Dragon Ball Super anime series to fans and we learned this summer as part of the Comic-Con@Home 2021 panel that the project, announced previously for a 2022 release, will be called Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero.
The film was set for an April 22nd, 2022 Japanese theatrical release and it’s set for an expansive worldwide debut this year beyond there, which includes Crunchyroll bringing it out. That was thrown into a bit of disarray due to the recent hack that Toei Animation suffered. Several TV shows have been pushed back upwards of a month now and that hack impacted this film as well. The project was delayed with no new date set. With the TV side starting back up shortly, the film has recently revealed a new date as it’s been set for a June 11th, 2022 debut.
With that scheduled, the official site and social has now updated with several new character posters to get you excited for what’s to come (and to slide on as your phone lock screen!) below.
The TV cast includes Masako Nozawa as Son Goku, Son Gohan and Son Goten, Ryo Horikawa as Vegeta, Hiromi Tsuru as Bulma, Takeshi Kusao as Trunks, Mayumi Tanaka as Krillin, Masaharu Satou as Kame-Sen’nin, Toshio Furukawa as Piccolo, Naoko Watanabe as Chi-Chi, Yuko Minaguchi as Videl, Unshou Ishizuka as Mr. Satan, Kôzô Shioya as Majin Buu, Kouichi Yamadera as God of Destruction Beerus, Masakazu Morita as Whis, Hiroshi Kamiya as Gamma #1, and Mamoru Miyano as Gamma #2.
The new cast for this film includes Miyu Irino as Dr. Hedo, Volcano Ōta as Magenta, and Ryota Takeuchi as Carmine.
Plot Concept: The universe versus universe tournament finally has its winner with it, a chance to wish on the Super Dragon Balls! But are they really going to wish for something like that?! Then, after an unexpected visit to a bizarre planet, a sudden SOS from the future arrives in the form of Future Trunks! What horror plagues his timeline, and can the Z Fighters face a foe that looks exactly like Goku?
