Frieza died. The Dragon Ball bad guy is supposed to be in hell. But, by the look of this upcoming Dragon Ball Z anime movie poster, Frieza is coming back.
Note that this isn’t the first time Frieza has returned to Dragon Ball, but this does look like it could be his most dramatic return.
The following image appeared on Anime News Network and then online in Japan. It also popped up on Chinese social networking site Weibo as well as on Kanzenshuu.

The title reads Dragon Ball Z: The Resurrection of F (Dragon Ball Z: 復活のF). Note that the word “fukkatsu” (復活) can mean “resurrection,” “revival,” or “rebirth.” The assumption is that “F” refers to “Frieza.”
These are two mysterious aliens called Tagoma and Sorbet, who perhaps plan to bring Freiza back? Dragonball creator Akira Toriyama designed both characters.

Dragon Ball Z: The Resurrection of F opens in Japan on April 18, 2015.
