The First Look at the Entire Main Cast for the Live-Action ‘Street Fighter’ Movie Has Been Revealed

The team making the new ‘Street Fighter’ movie has revealed the full cast. The movie combines well-known actors with professional fighters to play the famous characters. While some actors closely resemble their characters, others are surprising choices meant to bring a fresh take to the series. The cast reflects the game’s international setting and suggests the movie will have a worldwide feel.

Noah Centineo as Ken Masters

Christian Centineo will play Ken Masters, the competitive rival to Ryu, in the upcoming film. Centineo, who first became known for romantic comedies, has been working to establish himself in action roles. Ken is known for his showy fighting style and privileged upbringing. The casting hints that the movie will explore the intense, brotherly rivalry between Ken and Ryu.

Andrew Koji as Ryu

Koji embodies the role of the strong and silent martial arts master at the heart of the story. He’s well-known for his impressive physical skills and real martial arts experience, demonstrated in the series ‘Warrior.’ As Ryu, he’s on a journey to conquer his inner demons and perfect a powerful fighting style by traveling the world. His performance is expected to bring both weight and skillful combat to the iconic character.

Callina Liang as Chun-Li

Liang plays an Interpol detective, a character famous among gamers as one of the world’s strongest women. This is a major role for the actress, as she portrays a woman determined to avenge her father. Known for her incredibly fast kicks and impressive agility, Chun-Li defeats enemies in battle. Liang will probably need a lot of training to convincingly perform the iconic moves fans are hoping to see in the movie.

Roman Reigns as Akuma

The WWE star embodies the role of the fearsome, demonic warrior who controls the Satsui no Hado. Like the iconic video game villain Akuma, he’s physically dominant and brings a powerful, intimidating presence. Akuma is a constant, dangerous threat, always pushing the boundaries of strength with brutal force, and this casting perfectly utilizes the wrestler’s skill at playing unstoppable, overwhelming characters.

David Dastmalchian as M. Bison

Okay, so I’m super hyped about this! Dastmalchian is playing M. Bison, the big bad from Street Fighter, and honestly, it’s perfect casting. The guy is amazing at playing creepy, over-the-top villains – you’ve probably seen him in other comic book stuff. Bison’s all about this power called Psycho Power, and his goal is basically to scare the whole world into submission and just corrupt everything. I’m expecting his performance to really show off how smart and terrifying Bison is, and really lean into that whole supernatural vibe he’s got going on.

Cody Rhodes as Guile

The wrestler portrays a U.S. Air Force major joining the tournament to get revenge. He’s a natural fit for the patriotic soldier role, motivated by the loss of his friend, Charlie Nash. Known for his strong defense and iconic Sonic Boom, this part lets the wrestler bring his classic American image to life as a popular video game character.

Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki

Comedian Kyle Schulz plays a hilariously overconfident but unskilled fighter in the movie. His character’s homemade fighting style, Saikyo-ryu, is a constant source of jokes among other fighters. Schulz infuses the role with his signature humor and energy, creating a character that fans enjoy for his ridiculous self-assurance. His appearance hints that the film will lean into the franchise’s more comedic and outlandish side.

Eric André as Don Sauvage

André is playing a character most fans won’t immediately recognize, one who originally appeared in related stories and shows. Known for his unpredictable and bizarre comedy, André could bring a fresh and surprising take to the role. The character is a real find for longtime fans who are familiar with the brand’s detailed backstory. This choice suggests the filmmakers are expanding beyond the main characters to create a richer, more detailed world.

50 Cent as Balrog

Curtis Jackson, also known as 50 Cent, portrays Balrog, a former boxing champion who now works as a powerful and intimidating enforcer for the criminal organization Shadaloo. Jackson brings a natural hardness and intensity to the role, perfectly capturing the character’s aggressive fighting style. Driven by a desire for wealth and dominance as one of Shadaloo’s top leaders, Balrog needs an imposing presence, and Jackson delivers that through his established persona.

Jason Momoa as Blanka

Jason Momoa is taking on the role of Blanka, the wild man from the Brazilian jungle famous for his green skin and ability to control electricity. Momoa is well-known for physically challenging roles that require both intense energy and elaborate makeup. Blanka is a fierce fighter who uses his electric powers to stun opponents up close, and this role is a great fit for Momoa’s powerful presence and athletic abilities.

Orville Peck as Vega

The singer, known for performing while wearing a masked disguise, plays a self-absorbed ninja from Spain who is fixated on his appearance. His signature fringed mask mirrors the character’s need to hide and protect his face. Vega is a fast and dangerous fighter who uses a claw as his weapon, and he’s a key figure in the villainous Shadaloo organization. Casting the singer was a smart move, as it connects his own enigmatic persona with the character’s vanity and dramatic flair.

Olivier Richters as Zangief

Okay, so I’m playing as Zangief now, and it’s awesome! They cast this incredible guy, Richters, to play him – he’s a huge bodybuilder and actor, seriously over seven feet tall. It’s perfect because Zangief is supposed to be this massive, powerful wrestler representing Russia. He’s all about grappling and throws, especially that devastating Spinning Piledriver. Richters just looks like he could actually do all that, you know? He brings the size and strength needed to make Zangief truly believable.

Hirooki Goto as E. Honda

Wrestler Goto plays the part of a sumo champion determined to show the value of his sport. He’s a classic character known for his strong, open-handed strikes and headbutts. Goto’s experience with a hard-hitting wrestling style makes him a natural fit for the sumo role. Adding him to the group brings a sense of authenticity from the world of real combat sports.

Rayna Vallandingham as Juli

Vallandingham portrays one of the skilled, brainwashed assassins controlled by M. Bison. The actress herself is an accomplished martial artist, specializing in taekwondo. She plays Juli, fighting with both accuracy and quickness, and frequently teams up with her fellow assassin, Juni. This choice in casting demonstrates the production’s dedication to using performers who are genuinely trained in combat.

Alexander Volkanovski as Joe

The former UFC champion will play the original American kickboxer from the first game. Known for his hard-hitting style and signature red pants in the classic tournament, Joe represents a throwback to the series’ beginnings. Volkanovski’s incredible fitness and fighting skills bring this iconic character to life, blending the realism of MMA with the over-the-top action of the film.

Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim

Okay, so I was super stoked to see Vidyut Jammwal cast as Dhalsim! He plays this really peaceful yoga master who enters the fighting tournament to help his village, which is a great backstory. What’s really cool is Vidyut is a legit martial artist – he’s famous for Kalaripayattu, this ancient Indian art, and he’s unbelievably flexible. That’s perfect for Dhalsim because the character fights by stretching his limbs to crazy lengths and even breathes fire! Honestly, with Vidyut’s skills, he’s the perfect guy to bring all that physical stuff to life on screen.

Mel Jarnson as Cammy

Jarnson will play the part of the Delta Red agent who used to be a brainwashed assassin working for Shadaloo. Having already starred in a fighting game movie, she’s skilled in performing physically demanding stunts. She’ll be playing Cammy, a popular character famous for her quickness and powerful attacks, like the Cannon Drill. This choice of actor hints that the film will delve into Cammy’s difficult past and her path to finding forgiveness.
