WHY? How are they gonna cast Superalloy Darkshine, an actual black actor or they will whitewashing Darkshine -- who is an actuallyspoiler[not black. His skin is tanned.]
And not to mention, Tatsumaki is very short and they will cast not-so-short an actress.

They're probably gonna make Saitama white so they might as well cast Karl Pilkington for the role.

Well diversity is hot topic in Hollywood and moreover asian Saitama might appeal China audience with is big market for Hollywood movies. China also really like anime.

So...they’re totally going to cast The Rock or Vin Diesel as Saitama, aren’t they?

Assuming this ever gets made. Still waiting on the cast for live action Gundam, live action One Piece, etc.

Cool! One Punch Man’s premise has so much potential for a Hollywood movie (and possibly a trilogy), so I’m up for this.

I don't care what anybody says, I think this can work as essentially a send-up of MCU Avengers (the Hero Association).

Saitama probably needs to be played by someone younger -- he essentially fits the archetype of the broke millennial.

Probably wouldn't be 1:1 with the manga (which doesn't even take place on our "Earth").

With Corona taking over the world they have time to film a live action movie? The government and media is enjoying playing with our minds.

This would completely miss the point, of course. Saitama is supposed to appear as your everyday salaryman.
