Toons Anime India has just shared a promo from Cartoon Network India, which confirms that in less than a month, the first Dragon Ball movie of the revival era – Battle of Gods (or The Battle of Gods as it will seemingly be referred to natively) will be coming.

The last Dragon Ball movie to premier on the channel was Wrath of the Dragon, which premiered on September 3rd last year and was rerun two weeks later.

The channel has however broadcast additional features (albeit not movies) with the recent airings of Bardock : The Father of Goku and History of Trunks.

As was the case with the TV specials Battle of Gods will be marketed as a “blockbuster” to generate hype.

The channel is currently airing original Dragon Ball at 2pm on Sundays. Episodes 13-18 aired yesterday and episodes 19-24 are set to air this week just after the premier of History of Trunks.

As is now standard with all Dragon Ball content aired on Cartoon Network India, Battle of Gods will receive five dubs in different languages – Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.

Uttam Pal Singh, the head of the kids cluster in South Asia for Warner Brothers Discovery (the owner of Cartoon Network India) said he wishes for the channel to be the place for the movies of the season, so it is possible after Battle of Gods the channel will dub the other revival era movies Resurrection ‘F’, Broly and Super Hero.

In any case watch this space for further updates on all things Dragon Ball in India and elsewhere.
