Dragon Ball Z Disney Live-Action DBZ Rumor

[Beerus]

A live-action Dragon Ball Z cinematic universe from Disney is being rumored which would adapt the popular anime series.

The rumor comes from one of my favorite Instagram artists, ultraraw26, who claims to have heard Disney is planning a new live-action Dragon Ball franchise with the hopes of replicating the massive success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The Instagram user notes this is only a rumor and doesn't know if it is true, but that he hopes to see Super Saiyan 4 make an entrance one day on the live-action screen.

In case anyone is wondering, Disney acquired the film rights when they purchased Fox as the movie "Dragonball Evolution" was released by them in 2009 and they still held the rights at the time Disney purchased them. I am not sure how this would go down or if it would be any good but it is interesting news.

Well, I'm cautiously optimistic. I read an article about this "rumor" a while back. Fox obviously fucked the hell out of Dragonball Evolution. God...that was just awful. They had no business doing that. Perhaps Disney will actually replicate the success of the MCU. That would be welcome, IMO.

Whoever signed off on that movie must have been on some hell of a drug man. It was like a train wreck you couldn't look away from.

I hope they don't. Honestly, the live action aspect of DB, it's just not going to translate well ever. Let it be its' own thing, even if they make one that's like Pixar animation style, leave it animated.
