Good question, as I've been curious about that myself...

As of right now, chances for an english dub at all are very, very slim to non-existent (in other words, don't get your hopes up). Because not only is Geneon USA gone now (the ones who originally dubbed it), but Funimation (the company distributing the series now) hasn't really been picking up any of the sequels for any of the Geneon series they picked up, and if any company at all picks up the upcoming Black Lagoon OVA, it would be Funi.

Shakugan no Shana being an example of one such series, which is also a former Geneon title. Funi has been distributing the first season and first OVA, but they have no plans of doing the 2nd season/movie/newer OVAs. Fate/Stay Night and Zero no Tsukaima are two more examples. As Funi has no plans of picking up the new Fate movie at this time or the later seasons of ZnT.

Perhaps it will be different with Black Lagoon, who knows. As I'm really hoping for a dub myself, but only if the get the same cast back together that they had in the dub for the TV series. (As I actually really liked the dub, which is rare for me to say as I usually don't like dubs and prefer subs.)

Even if there will be no dub, i'll be happy if it even gets on DVD here in the US at all at this rate.
