A VFX artist has made a live-action rendition of what Vegeta from theDragon Balluniverse could look like in real life by using the likeness ofBreaking Bad’s Aaron Paul.Dragon Ballis known for its over-the-top fights, iconic battle cries, and large-scale destruction.
Vegeta is one of the (current) protagonists of theDragon Ballseries who fights alongside the fan-favorite Goku. Currently,Dragon Ball Super,the latest subsidy of the long-runninganime franchise, is on hiatus until further notice. Right now the series is just getting movie releases with the recent 2019 release ofDragon Ball SuperBroly,which reintroduced a retconned version of Broly that finally made the fan-favorite character canon and most importantly: less evil.

The previously mentioned VFX artist’s name is Aaron Sorensen, but they go by the name of @vfx_central on Instagram. They also have a YouTube channel where they have conversations about VFX in the film in addition to giving tutorials for different techniques that any aspiring filmmaker or anyone with aspirations in technology can learn from.
The Instagram post also hasotherDragon Ballcharacters, including the father of Goku, Bardock. There was also a bald “T-Posing” character who viewers can see only from behind. Fans can assume that this character is either Tien or possibly Krillin. Hopefully, Sorenson is able to drop more characters that use the likeness of famous actors. Picturing Piccolo in a live-action format is something that can either fuel nightmares or be a very artistically unique reimagining of a popular character. Just ask fans who watched 2009’sDragonball Evolution, a much-maligned film that starred Justin Chatwin as Goku and James Marsters as Lord Piccolo.
Sorenson also asks if he should make this happen as a CGI film, which is becoming more and more common as the technology improves and becomes more widely accepted. MightyRaccoon is a channel on YouTube that hasa catalog of fan filmsranging from Marvel, DC, anime, and even video game characters. Seeing these fan favorites duke it out or work together on film is the closest thing to bringing to life the imaginings of a child playing make-believe with their toys in the sandbox
Fans may see a newseries releasedfollowing theDragon Ballmovies, but as of now, the only active plans are to release films that will continue the story. No plans of continuingDragon Ball Superhave been announced but there also aren’t any plans to cancel it.
