Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Are we talking Dan Dan or Grand Tour?

Definitely, that's why I really enjoyed the Bojack movie. The Tournament sagas were easily one of my faves in the DB/DBZ series. I really don't care for Dragon ball trying to be too serious and dark all the time, I'm all for the light hearted tone of the original.Easiest way for an action-packed movie with some fun? Tournament anyone? Those were always the best dragon ball episodes and they had action and fun

I'm all for lighthearted DB, but a recently popular opinion seems to be that it's flat-out superior and more welcome than the more serious story arcs. No way, man. Freeza and the Androids (up until Cell showed up) were the pinnacle of the series. I wouldn't mind seeing a good balance of action/silliness.
I updated the OP with a different report. ANN mistakenly implied that the film was based on an unused idea from the manga's circulation. Toriyama actually meant that the film's idea matches what you'd expect from the manga.
Also, Toriyama has been revealing new info about some other pieces of the Dragon Ball world. He just recently shared the name of Mr. Satan's wife. I'm sure someone out there wondered about Mark's wife, but I'm not sure he needed to tell us that.

The story was the best part. GT is was truly great.
It would be pretty stupid if those two were able to keep up with Goku's power levels.
I thought the last movie sort of ended on the hint of there being another movie. It basically ends with bills saying that Goku and Vegeta could be real threats in a few years and when dude puts him to sleep he tells him to sleep for just 3 years (he usually sleeps a lot longer according to the beginning).
I also took it to mean Goku and Vegeta will be the stars with Goku in the role of batman and Vegeta as robin at most while the rest of gang are sidelined and completely worthless.
I look forward to it.

The only way in which Dragon Ball needs to change is to let characters that aren't saiyans fight opponents that make sense for them to fight. I want to see Tien, Piccolo, Krillin and Yamcha have fights that push them to their limits but they actually have a chance of winning instead of getting beaten up by a singular big bad. Sic a big bad with an army on them. Let Goku/Gohan/Vegeta deal with the big bad, everyone else takes the minions or whatever. There are times similar to this throughout the series, but someone else still usually has to save them.

AT has too much power now, comedy and gags is what he enjoys doing. He never really liked the serious stuff in the Cell and Frieza saga.
Yeah, I don't get the people who want more comedy and less fighting. Take out the fighting and it is just a mediocre cartoon. The comedy isn't close to good enough for it stand on. The yelling and kamehameha shit is what makes it DBZ.
Also while I'm ranting, screw the Vegeta haters. He gets his ass worked over good all the time, but so does everyone who isn't Goku because the creator decided it to be that way. I like Vegeta because he doesn't have an issue with killing chumps and he is the only one still tries to stay somewhat in the game.
There was that one movie where they gave gotenks a hitler army to fight and paigon a wall (lol) while Goku got the big baddie.

So toriyama been implying that the upcoming movie was originally meant to in the manga... This could mean the return of future trunks(wishful thinking) maybe the movie takes place during an alternate timeline with the Z warriors or that future trunks needs help who knows?! or it could take place during the time where goku and everyone is training before the androids appear there's a huge gap there.

Prequels suck so I hope not.
Nah. Dragonball is about how much Goku's power level can increase. I don't care about what happened way back then.

I doubt we're getting a direct sequel to battle of gods since he said this is a story that was originally meant to be in the manga. The hard part is trying to figure out during which arc it takes place.
Official Site and director revealed:
Tagline: "The worst wish in history. That is the beginning of despair."
Kanzenshuu:
That was mistranslated info. It's a sequel to BoG.

Tagline makes it sound much more serious, then again AT said it would be "utterly funny".
What do I believe?

i hope mexico gets the movie sooner to the theaters ,
Just watched BotG. Bills is an awesome character. I don't like when Goku is just suddenly granted a power boost though. I want him to earn it. Also the lack of continuity with power levels is aggravating. Why are characters still talking about Frieza? Even Buu in his current state should be able to sneeze and obliterate Frieza.

that was an issue with Goku himself, he hated having to rely on someone's else power just be able to fight Bills

And it's so mind boggling he did that in SS2 level.

V-Jump Unveils New Dragon Ball Z 2015 Movie Title & Date:
The January issue of V-Jump, officially slated for release this Friday (21 November 2014), features a detailed DB Scoop on the upcoming Dragon Ball Z movie (originally reported by Anime News Network). The scoop features a new visual for the film, the first seen since the movie was announced this past July. It is more than likely the movies official poster, which features our main protagonists, Beerus, Whis, Freeza, and two new unsavory characters.
The movie poster also reveals the films official title and release date:
Dragon Ball Z: Revival of F
Opening day, set at last!!! Saturday, 18 April 2015: A super-wide release nationwide in 2D and 3D!!!
Unlike with the previous film, Kami to Kami / Battle of Gods, no supplementary or alternative English title is provided. The movie will premiere nationwide in Japan 18 April 2015 in both 2D and 3D formats. This release date is a bit earlier than expected by most, but it is perhaps intended to build the movies momentum going into the Golden Week holiday break.
At the moment we cannot verify plot details or Toriyamas comments beyond what is currently described elsewhere. However, the general plot details from Anime News Network are as follows:
An Earth where peace has arrived. However, remnants of Freezas army Sorbet and Tagoma arrive on the planet. Their goal is to revive Freeza with the Dragon Balls. Their dastardly wish is granted, and the F that plans its revenge against the Saiyans is revived !
Two new characters will appear in the movie: Sorbet (ソルベand Tagoma (タゴマ
Toriyamas original designs for the characters are included in the magazine, along with a brief description:
A mysterious pair of planetary warriors, equipped with the latest type of battle armor!! Tagoma in particular looks to be wearing a new type of Scouter!!
The tidbit about the new type of Scouter is very reminiscent of what Toriyama revealed in his interview with Naho Ooishi in the July 2014 issue of Saikyō Jump. He stated (bold added for emphasis):
If youre a soldier in Freezas army, you can have one made to order to fit your ear. The different screen colors can be chosen to fit the peculiarities of different aliens eyes, or to suit ones tastes. Also, dual-eye types exist as well.
This comment came just one month prior to the new movie being officially announced, so it is likely that Toriyama slipped this tidbit in solely because of his work on the upcoming movie, possibly having just drawn these character designs. Also of note is the text reading 更なる変 that is cut off in the upper right corner. This is likely the phrase 更なる変身, which means further transformation(s). Based on the image available, there is no indication whether this is in reference to Freeza or a Saiyan warrior.

This is the one thing Bleach does well as a Shonen. At least the characters that Ichigo has surpassed still get something interesting to do on the side, even if they eventually lose to the big bad.

Can't wait for the return of Freezer.
You get two wishes, so they can wish him to be stronger than Goku. Hell, Saiyans get stronger when they're near death and revived. He can learn Kaio-ken and increase his power or he can obtain a fifth form and increase his power that way.
Random power boosts are hardly a problem in the Dragon Ball Universe.
Just in time to be kicked by Young Trunks.

the whole thing sounds a mess plus a new transformation will only get him to Cooler level..

Interested how they'll make him a threat again. Maybe they'll wish for Frieza to be as strong as Earth's strongest warrior aka Goku? Or maybe Frieza got strong as hell while he was dead.
