Street Fighter Movie Cast Revealed
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming live-action Street Fighter movie has secured some big names for its cast.
Jason Momoa, famous for his role as Aquaman, will play the electrifying character Blanka. Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson is set to portray the powerful boxer Balrog, while Callina Liang will bring Chun-Li to life, following earlier rumors about her casting.
Deadline also reported on the casting, revealing other important roles. Noah Centineo will take on the role of Ken Masters, Andrew Koji has been cast as Ryu, and Roman Reigns will portray the fierce Akuma.
Adding a comedic touch, Andrew Schulz will play Dan Hibiki, a character known for his overconfidence and humor in the Street Fighter series. Orville Peck rounds out the lineup as Vega.
Street Fighter Movie Production and Background
The film will be directed by Kitao Sakurai, who previously helmed the 2021 comedy Bad Trip. Production is set to begin in Australia in August 2025.
While details about the movie’s plot remain tightly under wraps, this fresh info on Street Fighter movie cast hints at a mix of classic fighters and new interpretations that aim to please longtime fans.
Street Fighter has a history of big-screen adaptations, including the 1994 live-action movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and the less well-received 2009 film Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. This new adaptation hopes to balance action and faithful storytelling to capture the essence of the beloved video game franchise.
With the success of Street Fighter 6, which continues to receive new content on multiple platforms, the timing feels right for this new movie to revitalise interest in the series for a new generation.
