FUNimation, the company behind the English dub of Dragon Ball Z (DBZ) knows we want the latest movie in the franchise, Battle of Gods. Toei, the company behind the original Japanese version knows we want Battle of Gods. So will we get Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods? Most likely, the question is just a matter of when.
Today, on their Twitter and Facebook pages FUNimation mentioned in order to get the latest movie, we have to buy existing titles so they have the capital to get the rights to it. At least that’s what they implied from our understanding. Here is the exact quote from their Facebook page:

They said at a panel yesterday that they would have to wait and see if Fox would dub it if not they can get the license transfer or something. They said the soonest we could get a dub is 2 years sadly. Also they are re-releasing the manga colored like the anime if anybody would be interested buying those.
