Not only was the announcement made but Akira Toriyama also gave us some details as to what we can expect from the film. He described the story will involve “fierce combat, but also, the encounter between Goku, Vegeta, and Broly. It also involves the Frieza Force and the history of the Saiyans, which end up having a major connection to everything. The story turns out to be very large – scale and dramatic.”
