King Piccolo
They released trailer screenshots on the DragonBall Movie Blog. I'm pretty sure they're real.



What he looks like in the anime:



What he looks like in the movie:





Some icons just in case you want them:

Yeah, I'm kind of torn. It looks awesome. I mean, I love the make-up and the clothing rocks. But then on the other hand, that just isn't Lord Piccolo.

Err... I grew up watching Dragon Ball and that looks nothing like Piccolo so I'm kind of disappointed now.

*knows how you feel* Would it have killed them to make him the right color green and give him proper antennas? If it was anything else, I'd say "Great job! It looks real!" But, it's just not Piccolo.

I know! I would have been okay with the no antennas thing but he isn't even green. :|

I think he's more of a sea green, like he used to be green but feel in a tub of bleach by mistake.

I don't know a thing about the character so I think he looks cool. I do wonder why they went so far, but left off the two features that make him most recognizable. They could at least have made his hair green.

That's kind of what I don't get either. If you're going to go all out, why not have the character look like the anime? Of course that's like asking why is all of the cast of Asian decent except for Emma's and Eric's characters.

That's not hair. Piccolo is kind of bald and his head is kind of wrinkly. Well, Lord Piccolo's head is. There's a younger version of him later on, it's really insanely hard to explain.

Woah. James is actually managing to creep me out, which is weird. I thought he said in interviews before where he was going to be green. Maybe this is pre-green makeup or digital makeup?

That's what I'm thinking...
Same with the creepy. I can hardly recognize him. :(
I never really watched the show, but seeing the pictures, he doesn't really look the character.

I was kind of hoping for a James Marsters!Piccolo hybrid. You can barely see the eye candy.

The site said that these were screenshots from the official trailer. If they were going to make him green later, wouldn't it make sense to put it in the trailer too?

I'm a little surprised to see that he's not green... I'm almost positive I remember reading an interview with JM where he said he was going to be, and didn't we have some (fairly long distance) photos that showed *someone* who looked like Piccolo and was VERY green?

I just can't imagine that a) JM wouldn't have kicked up a fuss about not being green since he's been rather fanboy about the role and b) they'd go that far with the makeup and NOT bother to make him at least a little bit green.

He IS technically green, just kind of a sea green. Maybe it's just bad lighting or they last minute decided to make him not so green. The pictures it was posted with were completely new and usually fakes look kind of like Piccolo.

:O I really don't know what to think exactly. I watched dragonball with my brother, not much, until the time when Goku gets married, but I saw Piccolo, and well, that doesn't look much like Piccolo to me, more like one of those Ubervamps from Buffy! He's not even green. I don't get it and the fangirl in me that wanted to see more James is rather disappointed too, because I think that if we don't get to see something like Piccolo we should then see something more James, and well, in this pic, we don't see either :(

*nods in agreement* I used to watch it all the time. I remember when it was on Cartoon Network's Toonami. I wouldn't miss an episode. And if I'm not staring at Piccolo, I'd like to be then staring at James. *pouts* I want James and Piccolo.

oh :O O_o

He is so different from the character. He rather reminds me of the Mask, except for the fact that EVEN the mask was green!
Anyway they did a great job with making him unrecognizable.

I can see that! Maybe they reused the Mask make-up and made it less green so no one would notice. Yeah they did. I think they did a good job making it look real.

I am with you on the lack of green and the lack of antennas.

*wonders if she's the only one bothered by the fact the black suit has BOOBS*
