The next Dragon Ball Super movie will premiere globally in August and a new trailer shows off the return of a classic villain.
Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is the 21st feature film in the venerable Dragon Ball series. Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is set after the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga and stars Gohan and Piccolo as they team up against an old foe: Cell.

Or at least a new version of Cell called Cell Max. Given that evolving into powerful new forms is sort of Cell's whole deal, it’s not a surprise to learn that Cell has found another new form to transform into.
But Cell isn’t the only leveling up. Piccolo is seen in the trailer with a new form himself, appropriately named Orange Piccolo. And Gohan also gets a new form, Final Gohan who can be seen briefly in the trailer with whit hair and red eyes.
Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero will be released in the US on August 19, 2022. Directed by Tetsuro Kodama, Super Hero features a 3D animated style, but still has the direct involvement of creator Akira Toriyama who also wrote the screenplay.
