Last month, Toei Animation postponed the theatrical release of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. Well, after a long wait, we finally have a new release date for the movie.

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is one of the most awaited anime films of 2022. Toei Animation released the first trailer for the movie last year and confirmed a theatrical release in Japan for April 22nd, 2022. The anime community is excited that they'll get to witness a new DBS project this year. Toei Animation is working on the movie, and the CG animation looks surprisingly good in the trailer.

However, Toei Animation went through a difficult time, and because of this, the studio had to put Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero and One Piece on hiatus. Since then, fans have been waiting for any news on the movie's release date; well, we finally have some interesting updates for the community.

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Release Date

Recently, the official Twitter account for Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero

" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">confirmed that the movie would release on June 11th, 2022. For now, the movie is only coming out in Japan, and Toei has yet to give us an international theatrical and streaming release date for the project.

Why Was Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Delayed?

For the unacquainted, Toei Animation's internal network was hacked on March 6th, 2022. The breach affected several ongoing anime projects under the animation studio, including One Piece, Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai, Digimon Ghost Game, Delicious Party: Pretty Cure, and Dragon Ball Super movie.

The movie was only a month away, as it was scheduled to release in April 2022. But now, fans in Japan will have to wait for around 50 more days to watch the movie in theatres.

It's been a while since we've seen a new Dragon Ball project on your screens. Fans have been eagerly waiting for Dragon Ball Super TV anime series to come back with a Season 2. However, there's no update regarding the Tv show's second season. Instead, Toei Animation announced another anime film, which of course, will exponentially expand the Dragon Ball universe.
