The character posters spotlight the heroes and villains that will primarily feature in the film. New baddies Dr. Hedo, Gamma 1, and Gamma 2 all get posters, while returning heroes Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Vegeta, and Pan all get to shine with their own posters. It’s particularly fun to see Pan as she’s grown up a bit since the Dragon Ball Super anime concluded.

“In the past, Goku destroyed the evil ‘Red Ribbon Army’ organization. But their will lived on!” reads the official description for the film as translated by Todd Blankenship. “Now that they’ve revived, the R.R. create the new androids ‘Gamma 1’ and ‘Gamma 2,’ and begin their revenge. Piccolo soon notices this disturbing activity, and sneaks into the Red Ribbon base, but there he discovers an unimaginable ‘ultimate evil weapon’… Pan is kidnapped in order to lure Gohan to the base. There, he too joins the fight, and an unprecedented super battle begins! Where all this death-match lead?! And what fate lies in store for Earth?!”
The anime adaptation of Dragon Ball Super ended in March 2018 after 131 episodes aired. 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 written by Akira Toriyama. Broly took place after the events of the Universe Survival Saga and features Goku and Vegeta taking on the legendary Saiyan.
