Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Film Delayed Due to Toei Animation Hack
Toei announced on Friday that Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, the second anime film in the Dragon Ball Super franchise, has been delayed due to the Toei Animation hack. Toei apologized to fans who were looking forward to the film’s opening.
The film was slated to open in Japan on April 22. The CG film’s release schedule may differ depending on each country and region. The film was slated to open in North America this summer.
As the name suggests, the film will have a focus on the “superhero” aspect. Original creator Akira Toriyama is in charge of the screenplay and character design. Planning for the new film project began in 2018, before the release of Dragon Ball Super: Broly. The film has the goal of telling “a large-scale story.” Aside from story composition and character design, Toriyama is also writing lines of dialogue for the film.
Tetsuro Kodama is directing the film, and Naoki Satō is composing the music. Nobuhito Sue is the art director, Chikashi Kubota is the animation director, and Jae Hoon Jung is the CG director.
