Legendary arcade game Street Fighter is getting a film reboot, with a truly stacked (and somewhat bizarre) cast. Set to come out next year, the film will be directed by Kitao Sakurai (The Eric Andre Show). Currently, plot details are under wraps.


Andrew Koji: as Ryu
Roman Reigns: as Akuma
Callina Liang: as Chun-Li
Jason Momoa: as Blanka
Orville Peck: as Vega
Noah Centineo: as Ken Masters
50 Cent: as Balrog
Alan Ritchson: rumored as Guile
Andrew Schulz: rumored as Dan Hibiki
Eric Andre: rumored as the ring announcer
Walton Goggins: rumored as the main villain


This is a very odd cast. Kind of has me interested though. Ryu is supposed to be the main character this time.

Hope they go intentionally campy, as the cast suggests

Definitely an action-comedy at worst

Could be amazing, if they do

The original was silly and campy too. Seems like they would want to go in a different direction for this. The idea of Walton Goggins hamming it up as M. Bison sounds really fun though.

Andrew Shulz is clearly going to be a satire on the "totally not Ken/Ryu"

A white dude as Vega is strange, considering current casting trends. You'd think they would go hard Latino.

He’s in Tires with Shane Gillis and was in that movie with Jonah Hill and Eddie Murphy.

His role is pretty good in Tires.

They need to get Danny McBride involved as well somehow. Goggins as Bison would be incredible

It’s nice to see this guy get some more substantial roles. Late Night with the Devil, Murderbot, and now SF .

I've only seen him in Suicide Squad and he was good in that but its a very different character from Bison. I wonder if negotiations with Goggins fell through.
