Your choices of actors for a live-action DBZ film?
Alright, let's say you get to choose who the actors would be for an upcoming DBZ film. Who would you choose to be Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, etc.? It could be for any saga in DB/DBZ or even the Toei movies or OVA, whichever. It's up to you! Splurge!

I would actually like Jason Statham as Vegeta but... Jason is kinda older now. XD

This is a general discussion thread. I don't get why it's here in the in-universe area.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Yeah, I posted in the wrong place. It should be in the General Franchise section. xD

Re: Your choices of actors for a live-action DBZ film?
I can see Christian Bale as Vegeta, I think he world do a good job. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin as Nappa, the guy is practically Nappa. I'm clueless as to who would make a good Goku, I can't think of anyone. As for Freeza, Benedict Cumberbatch would be awesome.
But yeah, those are the only characters that I can think of with actors that can play them.

I reckon Peter Kelamis could actually pull off Goku in a live action film.


With this particular hairstyle he looks quite similar to Goku. Obviously he has the right voice needed for the character.

I think John Cho would make a decent Goku

John Cho may look the part but he can't act.

Re: Your choices of actors for a live-action DBZ film?
I think Jet Li would be a popular choice for Vegeta but he does not have the same popularity that he once did in the early-mid 2000's outside of Asia. Jet Li played a villain in Lethal Weapon 4 and The Mummy III, so he could pull off it.

I would have Nathan Jones as Nappa!
Re: Your choices of actors for a live-action DBZ film?
Again he looked the part and obviously had the martial arts skills to go with it but the guy can barely speak English so would be no good for a character who talks a lot. Jackie Chan would have been a great Goku back in the day too but he has the same problem though to a lesser extent.Jet Li played a villain in Lethal Weapon 4 and The Mummy III, so he could pull off it.

I agree with these choices, that guy look the part and the girl could pull it if she cuts her hair short.Angelus wrote:Oh! For me Amber Hear would be great for 18! And Garett Hudlund for 17!
I nominate Tito Ortiz (MMA fighter, Actor) for the role of Nappa.


Also, does the cast need to be current? Or could it be your dream-cast?
How about Keeanu Reeves as Goku?
