The highly-anticipated Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is set to release in Japan sometime in April 2022, but a recent post from a Thailand movie chain may have revealed the release date for the rest of the world.
According to a recent update on Thailand’s Major Cineplex website, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is set to release in their theaters on June 2, 2022. Unfortunately for those looking for more news, no other international release dates have been hinted at for the upcoming film, so fans looking ahead to the film will have to keep waiting for more news. However, it’s likely that other territories outside Japan see a similar June or July release.

“An all-new movie since Dragon Ball Super: Broly is currently in the making!” announced Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama. “Just like the previous movie, I’m heavily leading the story and dialogue production for another amazing film. I really shouldn’t talk too much about the plot yet, but be prepared for some extreme and entertaining bouts, which may feature an unexpected character. We’ll be charting through some unexplored territory in terms of the visual aesthetics to give the audience an amazing ride, so I hope everybody will look forward to the new movie!”
The anime adaptation of Dragon Ball Super ended in March 2018 after 131 episodes aired. However, the manga is still ongoing, so there is plenty to adapt. Typically, though, the Dragon Ball films are filled with original content, so don’t be surprised if it goes in another direction.

This marks the second movie for Dragon Ball Super, which is the highly successful sequel series to Dragon Ball Z. The first film was Dragon Ball Super: Broly, which was directed by Tatsuya Nagamine and also written by Akira Toriyama. The movie takes place after the events of the Universe Survival Saga and features Goku and Vegeta taking on Broly.
