I thought the title was asking, "Would you star in a Sailor Moon movie if it was ever made in Hollywood?"

I guess I could see myself voicing the male cat.

Live action western adaptations of anime properties never work, so I have nothing to fear over this proposed travesty.

Rebel Wilson would be fun. She'd make a good Marina but she doesn't have the physique for the role, sadly.

I'd be concerned if I could name an actress I think could correctly play a teenage girl of 14 - 15.

Sailor Moon is a tough sell because you have to ask: do you cast actors who look like the characters or do you cast Asians? Because most of the Sailor Moon characters don't look Japanese. Sailor Moon herself looks practically Aryan. But people will cry whitewashing if you cast white people in it. So what do you do? Cast Asians but have them dye their hair? That would look silly. Just have them look natural? Then they don't look like anyone because they'll all have black hair and brown eyes.

So Hollywood will likely never bother.

DBZ is easier since most of the humans actually look Japanese.

Anime characters are purposely designed to be ambiguous, and when you're a white person living in the west, white tends to be what you default to. That is human nature and nothing racist. But I bet Japanese people would say Sailor Moon looks Japanese.

Typically characters that are supposed to be white have stereotypically Western features to make them stand out. Example: Asuka from Evangelion who I think is supposed to be half German half Japanese. Her facial structure is drawn a little differently, at least it looks that way to me.

Sailor Moon: White
Second Scout: Japanese
Third Scout: Black
Fourth Scout: Japanese
Fifth Scout: White

Sailor Moon's Boyfriend: Japanese

That resolves everything. Hollywood has its inclusive casting, Sailor Moon looks like she always did, and nobody complains about white washing because a white girl is dating a member of another ethnic group.

The third scout is Mars. If Mars was black that would be weird because she is the most japanese of all of them. Her civilian identity is of a Shinto Priestess, the native religion of Japan

Okay, Mars gets upgraded to the number two position on account of her being the most prominent Japanese character. Meanwhile, Sailor Mercury(?) is black.

Sorry, it's been 20 years since I've watched the show. I don't remember much beyond having a crush on Mars.
