Good news for fans! After the international success of Dragon Ball Super Broly in 2019, Toei studio has announced the production of the second part, expected for 2022!
In March 2019, Dragon Ball Super Broly was released in France. The animated film had then gathered nearly 600,000 spectators in theaters. This reinforced the enthusiasm of French fans for the franchise. Globally, the animated film raised $115 million in greenbacks on a budget of $8 million. This triumph then allowed it to become the biggest success of the saga. And that's what seems to have convinced the Toei studio. Indeed, the historic studio founder of the franchise announces that it has started work on a new feature film.
Akira Toriyama's statements
As if to give more impact to the news, the studio accompanied the reveal of a new feature film with a statement from Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball himself, who confides:
"After Dragon Ball Super: Broly, a new movie is in the works! Just like the previous film, I'm very involved in the script and dialogue. I don't have to give too much away about the plot, but expect extreme and entertaining fights, which could involve an unexpected character."
"We will explore uncharted territory, in terms of visual aesthetics, to give the audience an incredible experience. I hope everyone is looking forward to seeing this new film."
While waiting to meet Goku, Vegeta and the whole gang, fans of Japanese animation will be able to discover Demon Slayer: The Infinity Train, in theaters on May 19 and Detective Conan: The Scarlett Bullet, scheduled for May 26.
