Reported and translated by Comicbook.com , this news comes from a booklet packaged with the Japanese Blu-ray release of Dragon Ball Super: Broly that was shared by @sunlemonmono on Twitter.In the translated interview, Iyoku says “Now for our next steps, we are steadily preparing for the next movie... Broly was so strong that I think the next one will probably be totally different. I’ve overcome various hurdles with parts of Broly, so I won’t get burned out. I think that Dragon Ball will continue on, so I want fans to look forward to it.”IGN has reached out to Toei for comment.News that another Dragon Ball Super movie is being prepared comes as somewhat of a surprise. Back in January, Toei Animation told IGN that new episodes of Dragon Ball Super weren’t in production , and in March the studio shut down a rumor that suggested the Dragon Ball Super anime TV series was returning.In November 2018, the Dragon Ball Super manga passed where the anime ended and continued with an original story - it’s unclear if this upcoming film will draw from that newer material. Dragon Ball Super: Broly has also been adapted to manga, which began being released in May Besides these points, another Dragon Ball Super film is a no-brainer, considering Broly experienced Funimation’s biggest box-office opening ever In our Dragon Ball Super: Broly review , we called the film “Great” saying "It’s a humorous movie that bounds into the world of imagination and is gripping to the end."
