Along with MacFarlane, who voices Peter and Stewie Griffin, among otherFamily Guycharacters, the cast includes Alex Borstein, Seth Green, Mila Kunis and more. The show has featured many scenarios and tomfooleries,but a live-action adaptation or single episode event never transpired, despite interest from fans.
In a recent concept trailer posted byMultiverse of Movies,AI was used to create live-action versions ofFamily Guycharacters.Check out the video below:
Actor and comedian Kevin James is imagined as Peter, and Elizabeth Banks as Lois. Jonah Hill and Rob Schneider are pictured as Chris and Brian, respectively, while Kunis appears as her character, Meg.

Should Family Guy Cast Live-Action Characters?
It Could Be A Fun Change-Up For The Show
Family Guyhas not been adapted for live-action, and making that kind of jump would be challenging without the right actors involved. While it’s hard to imagine MacFarlane not making a physical appearance,using the original voice cast seems largely impossible, especially when considering Kunis and Green portray teenagers on the show. Whether part of an episode, or a movie adaptation, as the concept trailer presents, bringing the Griffins to life could be an entertaining change-up, allowing other notable stars to take on their roles.
Makinglive-actionFamily Guycharacters accurate to their animated counterparts,as opposed to aging up Stewie or using a dog costume for Brian, would be important. Employing motion capture for some of them might take away from the real actors and settings, but it gives MacFarlane an opportunity to lend his voice and could result in funny moments as well. When it comes to other characters, James has been a popular choice for Peter, and having Sandler portray his best friend/neighbor is a fun option, considering their previous collaborations.
Kevin James and Adam Sandler have starred together inI Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry,Grown Ups,Hotel Transylvaniaand more.
Given the popularity ofFamily Guy, finding a way toadapt the series makes sense as a future endeavor.MacFarlane has yet to go the live-action route, but the concept trailer provides a good idea of what some of the cast may look like, while eliciting consideration from fans.
