If a live action Dragon Ball Z movie was made , who would you cast?
Caleb Evans
Andrew Edwards
Goku has that dopiness that you can't really bring in someone in the top 10 of Hollywood action stars , you need someone who's not super famous but can hold his own.
There are a couple former power rangers who are younger (20s) that I can think of
Cooper Ward
All black males and white females.
Xavier Powell
The Rock as Goku.
Idris Elba as Vegeta.
Gabriel Jackson
>The Rock as Goku
Is it weird that I could see this working? He has the disposition needed to do Goku. I could totally see the Rock playing a dumb character that just loves to fight and get litty.
Mason Gutierrez
It'd be cool, but ya gotta remember that even though Goku is big, but he's still smaller than some of the villains he fights.
Tyler Lee
>Goku is big
for you
Jason Harris
LEWIS TAN as Goku or Tien

Why? The point of an adaptation, specifically a local one, is to ADAPT the property to fit the world of the viewer. It's not a translation or a dub, it's (metaphorically) an American adaptation filmed and written in America.
Do you think they cast white actors in Japan when they remake American films? How about Uganda, when they make a Predator movie or some shit? No. I'll never understand this mindset. It's like the "female director must direct this film because it's about women" bullshit. It's dismissing worth, talent, and common sense for some personal social edification. So some casting director can pat themself on the back about how progressive and accepting they are.
Furthermore, Dragonball does not take place in Asia. None of the characters are Asian or oriental. It's not even the same Earth we recognize. So it makes even less sense.
Jose Evans
>None of the characters are Asian or oriental.
William Kelly
Goku is practically a goofy tarzan. Brendan Fraser comes to mind but he's too old and too fat now.
David Cook
Bro, Fraiser in Enchino Man is literally Goku in the first 100 chapters of Dragon Ball
Chase Thompson
In the thumbnail it looks like he's standing on someone's finger.
Asher James
Yooshi Sudarso as Goku

Jacob White
he's perfect. also hard mode should've been Stephen Chow if he's willing to go hollywood. Unfortunately, since nolan's batman every hollywood producer are obsessed with making comic adaptations more grounded.
Levi King
You need someone that is similar in demeanor to Chris Pratt. Dopey yet affable.
Joshua Price
Here's a (You) for all the hard work
Camden Bailey
>Goku is big
He's like 5'7". Ever one of the Z fighters except Piccolo are manlets.
Zachary Rogers
Stephen Chow with modern VFX would be spectacular and capture DB in a way that would differentate itself from superhero movies

Hunter Rivera
Most people don't know that because Toei animation loved making them taller whenever they wanted going against Toriyama's designs
Ayden Hernandez
Jodelle as Bulma
Nathan Jackson
She looks very average for a woman. Bulma is very beauty conscious
Brayden Sullivan
>impying a woman can only have one look
Wyatt Diaz
Been there done that but if it were made again in the 90s I would've put Robin Liu(from Mortal Kombat live action) or Jacky Chan as the leads and get the kid who played Jet Li's son in that one movie where he beats up the school bullies.
Fill in the rest
Mason Sanders
I really do think that for a wuxia sci fi manga/anime series with a martial arts upbringing, hong kong cinema influences, and fight scenes in settings that are frequent to the asian continents, you gotta go with an asian cast. I get it, Goku is a character who doesn't hold onto contemporary culture, but you can't deny 4 of the Z fighters being asian adjacent nor Goku's wife, master, and adoptive father being asian as well. I wouldn't've cared in 2009 but in 2019, having Goku be white is a shot in the foot for a "certain" percentage that dominates the international market
Luke Phillips
Kevin Hart is Krillin. He won't even need camera angles to be super short.
Jace Thompson
The dude who played liu kang is diffinitly Goku. Jackie Chan in the late 90s-early 90s would be good, but mid 90s Chan was seen as a very grown adult
Jaxson Adams

Daniel Parker
>that nose
And you want her to play Bulma?
Dominic Hall
Goose as all characters, mel gibson as roshi
Joshua Bennett
>Gosling as Frieza
