It is high likely we will get some new DB movie in Spring/Summer 2016, especially with TV series revival. Toei does it all the time, DBZ was getting 2 movies per year at one point. Since this Gods arc is already splitting its narrative between movies and TV series, there's no reason to not do it again

He wanted to wake up for 3 years because he wanted to taste more food from Earth.
He could do that at any time, though. He could still sleep for 50 years and do the same.

Depending on how long it's after, no. Pan could have already been born or the pregnancy isn't showing yet.

Not if this is shortly after, it takes a little while for pregnant women to begin showing.

I'm alright with them using the BOG designs since I didn't really like the ROF designs apart from Goku, Vegeta and Krillin.

I think the main plot is going to stick to the show now and any movies will be side stories, that makes a lot more sense than fragmenting the plot between two mediums.

So this taking place right after BoG I guess? I don't know how I feel about that..
I hope they don't just put all of Super in that one year between BoG and 'F''.

If it is meant to synchronizing with Resurrection 'F' on TV, then yes, that's it.
While Battle of Gods is mandatory to set up things, Resurrection 'F' is a temporary inconvenience that doesn't bring new elements into the mix during its events: costumes, transformations and all have already been reached previously. It just helps the characters learning a lesson and progressing, but it's not mandatory to see it and can be considered natural evolution with their training.

Essentially, for those not watching the movie, they won't see they're missing anything: with the episode preceeding the movie, Goku and Vegeta have their new costumes and transformations and are training with Whis. With the episode set after the movie, Goku and Vegeta are still training with Whis with no new character or transformation revealed in-between.

The movies would indeed become side quests of the TV show, perfectly fitting into it and bringing a little extra layer for those who want extra adventures, but not something mandatory to progress through the main plot.

Did Goten and Trunks get new profile pictures? They're the only characters in the character list of the site who don't have their BoG designs.

Also watch this Beerus be fat but doesn't like to eat :lol:

^ They have their usual fighting clothes from the Boo saga in their profiles, as they will probably wear those for battles.
Basically, everyone is set to look exactly like they are in Battle of Gods, nothing more.

New/unusual designs would be for daily life only, for now.

For someone who likes to eat so much, Beerus keeps himself in good shape. Must be all that breakdancing he does.

So, there's not going to be any new extended preview? That's disappointing.

There's a video on the site but nobody can check what it is.

I'm pitching Toriyama's long deceased dog to be the upper god of all the universes!

Hmm, if this does take place before Battle of Gods, I wonder if that increases our chances of getting to see original Super Saiyan God in action again.

I don't get it, why do people want this? The original SSG died because he didn't absorb the power like Goku did, how could he be strong enough to face anyone?

Sorry, I meant just see Goku in his original Super Saiyan God form again. I didn't mean for the Super Saiyan God from Shenron's legend to make a return.
