Jamie Chung has joined the cast of Fox's "Dragon Ball Z", the live-action adaptation of the popular Japanese comic says The Hollywood Reporter.

James Wong is directing the science fiction action-adventure, which centers on an adult humanoid alien named Goku (Justin Chatwin) who, after discovering he was sent to Earth to destroy the population, tries to fulfill the wish of his dying grandfather and collect all seven of the world's mystical Dragon Balls to keep them out of the hands of the evil aliens.

Chung will play Chi Chi, the love interest of Goku when he's growing up. James Marsters (Spike on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") plays the evil Piccolo, who tries to take over the world.
