Kanzenshuu member Ian (aka Cipher_db) provided the summary of the interview in the form of a thread.

According to him, Iyoku teased that a new film is in the works. The word “threatens” could be inserted as a joke.

• There’s a bit of talk on Toriyama leaning toward “classical” designs w/ Red Ribbons in general and in this film
• Fantastic adventures and characters are the foundation of DB to Toriyama/staff; action and escalation just one part

Herms interpreted it in a similar way but emphasized the term “next project”.

Basically that they’ve begun the “next work” (作業, which I suppose means the next movie, but could just be the next project in general), since this current movie took five years to make, and Toriyama’s still willing to continue

On Jan 3, 2022, Iyoku hinted at Dragon Ball Super’s next project being announced sometime in 2022 in an interview.

Bottom line: The next project in the Dragon Ball Super franchise is already underway but it’s not confirmed whether it is the Anime returning or a new movie. So stay tuned for more updates!
