Alleged reports of Dragon Ball Z live-action movie from Netflix have once again circulated the Internet. And once again they are being passed around by social media, which should put a red light on the minds of Internet users. For there has been no official announcement of such a production. And for a good reason.

Netflix isn’t working on Dragon Ball Z live-action movie at all. Nor is anyone else. So fans of the universe shouldn't get ready to see their favorite series get a production similar to Netflix’s One Piece or Avatar: The Last Airbender anytime soon. Perhaps in the distant future this will change, although after the case of Dragonball Evolution, which was a complete flop, one may have doubts about this.

So what's the deal with Netflix's Dragon Ball Z live-action movie and all the stills related to it that have been circulating online in recent days? These are graphics made with the help of AI, more precisely Midjourney. They have been shared on subreddit related specifically to this AI.

So I will point it out again – these are not stills from the Dragon Ball Z Netflix movie, that one isn’t being made, these are AI-generated graphics. Fans if they would like to once again immerse themselves in the story from Dragon Ball Z, they must settle for the manga and the anime.
