Barring one error in one of the Daizenshuu, Bra has always been labelled 1 year younger than Pan in guidebooks since then.
So are people saying this just because we haven't seen these characters in trailers or is there a genuine confirmation source for which characters will and won't be in the movie?
The preview Manga has Gohan saying he was ordered by Bulma not to bring Goten and Trunks with him, as they are too reckless. Majin Buu is stated to be in hibernation, as per a Toriyama comment in a recent interview. And Tenshinhan had his usual line about not bringing Chaozu, but now that also includes Yamcha, because Tenshinhan is also babysitting him.
So as far as we know so far, Yamcha, Chaozu, Trunks, Goten and Majin Buu won't be appearing in the new movie. Of course by this time tomorrow we will know for sure, so keep an eye on the official thread over in the General Discussion forum.
Kinda bummed out if the Goten and Trunks one turns out to be true, they should have given them a slightly older look because I thought they should have looked a bit older in BoG but now they won't even be in the movie just what...?

Agreed. It could seem Toriyama wanted to make this a bit more serious, so he kept out the immature kids and goofy Majin Buu and Mr. Satan and gave the older forgotten characters some time to shine and make it look more serious.
Maybe that's the reasoning. Maybe he doesn't want to design teenage Goten and Trunks? Marron looks like she's going to be stuck in a 4 year old's body for a quite a while for example...
