Its release later this year marks both the first film based on Dragon Ball Super and the anime’s continuation, months after its abrupt end earlier this year. > The film will again star Dragon Ball hero Goku and his super-powered pals, as they fight against the ultra-powerful villain Broly. Broly isn’t a new character in the franchise, but his return to the series is significant and surprising — the Super Saiyan has long been one of Dragon Ball’s most controversial figures.
