To recall, before the Dragon Ball Super anime series ended, a movie version of the show is reportedly coming. After that, the film's teaser was revealed, showing Goku fighting a mysterious enemy in an unknown, icy place. This new foe is said to be a Saiyan, but he is not like any other. Hence, the series' avid fans believe the movie is going to be set in the past or somewhere between the show's arcs¸ per Otaku Art.
It was later confirmed that the Dragon Ball Super movie is going to be a sequel to the anime series. As the Tournament of Power ended, the film is set to continue the show's arc. Also, Freeza will play a big part in the film, although its main focus will be the Saiyans.
The Dragon Ball Super movie is set to be released on December 14, 2018 in Japan. However, there are rumors it will be unveiled globally, but this news has not been confirmed. So, fans should only take this assumption with a grain of salt and wait for Toei Animation's further announcements.
