I was reading that as of June 21 the Imagi Gatchaman CG animation project was offically declared dead. This got me to thinking about the idea of not only a live-action Gatchaman but also one done as an actual tokusatsu in Japan.
I think there's a couple of ways they could go with such a project. Either a live-action adaptation of the anime which would be fine with me or possibly even having a new team of characters as a second generation team. Basically the live-action series would be a follow up to the anime. Not that it would need to be a team composed entirely of future-kids, though I think maybe having Nambu's daughter as the teams overseer and possibly Ken's son as G1 could be cool.
For the suits I would want them to keep it simple and sleek, not make it overly busy with a lot of armor, extra lines and kibble. Though I could also see using the designs from the 90's OAV as the basis for the live suits as well.
For casting I could see Kanna Mori (Natsumi) as a possible Jun. Not sure about everyone else. Though likely most of the cast would end up being unknowns anyway.
