Following a silhouetted tease of current WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes' video game-accurate look as Guile and a first glimpse of Noah Centineo (Black Adam) suited-up as Ken Masters, we have some new behind-the-scenes photos and video from the set of the Street Fighter reboot.

The photos feature a number of cast members, including Callina Liang (Chun-Li), Andrew Koji (Ryu), and Andrew Schulz (Dan Hibiki), but Orville Peck appears to be the only one in-costume as the villainous Vega.

The South African musician has Vega's blonde hair and signature snake tattoo, but there's a good chance this isn't the mask he'll wear as the character, since Peck is known for covering his face in public.

The live-action Street Fighterreboot is currently in production, but fans have already been treated to the first look at one of its main stars. If the sneak peek of an iconic character is anything to go by, it seems the adaptation will be a faithful retelling of the popular video game franchise.

Noah Centineo shared an image on Instagram on the set of Street Fighter, revealing a video game-accurate physique and blond hairstyle as Ken Masters. He will be one of the protagonists in the film, alongside Andrew Koji as Ryu. Centineo is not the costume he'll be wearing on-screen, but it's already easy to tell as the actor is...

While not in costume as Ken Masters, eagle-eyed fans will notice that the actor is sporting the character's long, blond hair in the photo.Centineo joined the cast of the Street Fighter reboot in April 2025, and is expected to co-lead the movie with Andrew Koji, who is portraying Ryu, the titular martial artist of the franchise.

.Do you remember in 2019 when Kumail Nanjiani posted a photo of his shredded bod while preparing to star in Marvel Studios’ Eternals? Well, Noah Centineo is here to say, “Hold my beer,” with a behind-the-scenes image from Legendary’s adaptation of Street Fighter. In the new pic, Centineo shows off his yoked body and golden blond locks while playing the American Ansatsuken-style fighter Ken Masters in the upcoming Street Fighter movie.

Noah Centineo was never a stringbean, but he’s clearly been hitting the weights alongside a strict diet and lifestyle changes. His transformation serves a dual purpose, as his next significant role is for John Rambo, the Rambo prequel...

Before Street Fighter, Centineo...

A new photo from the set of the upcoming Street Fighter film has been shared by actor Andrew Schulz, and it will leave fans of the franchise beaming with joy.

The photo shows a shadow of actor Cody Rhodes, who is playing Guile in the film, and although only his shadow is visible, the unmistakable silhouette of Guile’s distinct flattop haircut can clearly be seen. This is certainly a fun and creative way to build anticipation around the film without showing too much, and the fact that even a shadow clearly depicts Guile’s haircut showcases how the filmmakers are indeed staying true to the games.

While 50 Cent isn't wearing Balrog's signature boxing gear here, Noah Centineo is rocking Ken Masters' blonde locks. We also have a glimpse of comedian Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki.

Fans were worried that Centineo didn't really resemble his character when his casting was first announced, but he appears to have undergone quite a transformation here, and looks a lot like Ken from Street Fighter Alpha.

WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes will play Guile in the upcoming Street Fighter reboot, and we now have our first shadowy glimpse (via GameFragger.com) at the current Undisputed WWE Champion as the iconic video game character.

The American Nightmare was recently written off television for a few weeks after being attacked by Drew McIntyre on SmackDown. That's allowed Rhodes to shoot his role in the movie, and this behind-the-scenes photo confirms he'll be rocking Guile's iconic haircut.

It's not a particularly realistic hairstyle, but props to this movie for embracing what we've seen in this video game franchise over nearly four decades. As for Rhodes, he may be best known for his in-ring work, but the fan-favourite former Aew star also has his fair share of acting experience after appearing in Arrow, Warehouse 13, and The Naked Gun.

Guile made his debut in 1991's Street Fighter II. A U.S. Air Force major,...

Funnily enough, although the 1994 Street Fighter movie would sport some pretty iconic character designs like Blanka’s green skin and orange hair or M. Bison’s full red leather suit with cape, it was still grounded in most areas and even Colonel Guile’s signature wide flat top was downgraded to Van Damme sort of spiking up his hair. It still made sense, and it’s hard to find purists who specifically demanded Guile’s hair to resemble the source material, but the upcoming Street Fighter adaptation looks to be a whole new ballgame.

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li would try hard to make the video game even more grounded with very little resembling the game, but we now have a sneak peek at what WWE superstar Cody Rhodes will look like as the character, courtesy of Andrew Schulz on Instagram (by way of WrestlePurists on X). In the behind-the-scenes picture,...

A new photo from the set of the Street Fighterreboot has offered a hair-raising sneak peek of a fan-favorite character from Capcom's popular video game of the same name. Filming is currently underway on the live-action adaptation despite the project being indefinitely delayed by Sony Pictures after previously promising a 2026 theatrical release. A snap shared by actor Andrew Schulz, who is playing Dan Hibiki in the big-screen feature, has teased what's to come — and fans of the fighting franchise are sure to be pleased with the latest glimpse.

The image, which was posted on Schulz's Instagram story and later shared by WrestlePurists on X/Twitter (below), doesn't give too much away,...

The live-action Street Fighter movie is still in development, though fans will need to wait longer to see it. Legendary Entertainment is producing the project, and Sony Pictures will handle distribution. The film is directed by Kitao Sakurai, who joined after some changes behind the scenes.

Street Fighter is based on Capcom’s world-famous fighting game series. Legendary announced back in April 2023 that they had secured the film and TV rights. At first, YouTube creators Danny and Michael Philippou, also known as RackaRacka, were in talks to direct.

They later stepped away to work on another film, and in September 2024 Sakurai was officially confirmed as the new director. The movie was once scheduled for March 20, 2026, but in March 2025 it was taken off the release calendar and delayed without a new date.

The cast is full of big names. Andrew Koji will play Ryu, while Noah Centineo is set as Ken Masters.

The long-awaited live-action Street Fighter movie is still moving forward, even though it was recently delayed without a new release date. Legendary Entertainment picked up the rights to the franchise last year, and Sony Pictures will handle distribution. The movie is now set to be directed by Kitao Sakurai after several changes behind the scenes.

One of the biggest pieces of news for fans is the first peek at Cody Rhodes as Guile in the live-action Street Fighter movie. Rhodes, who is currently WWE’s Undisputed Champion, joins a cast filled with surprising names.

Andrew Koji will play Ryu, Noah Centineo is Ken, Jason Momoa is Blanka, Callina Liang is Chun-Li, and David Dastmalchian is taking on the role of M. Bison. Roman Reigns has been cast as Akuma, while comedian Andrew Schulz will show up as Dan Hibiki, described as a wannabe martial artist. The lineup also includes 50 Cent as Balrog,...

According to Deadline, The Recruit star Noah Centineo is locked and loaded for Millennium Media’s John Rambo origins film. The project hails from Sisu director Jalmari Helander, who directs from a script by Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani. There are many details to iron out, but if all goes well, John Rambo could shoot in Thailand in the fall.

Plot details for John Rambo remain a mystery, but the film is likely to focus on the early military career of the legendary Vietnam War veteran made famous by Sylvester Stallone. John Rambo, created by David Morell in his novel First Blood, is one of the most iconic characters in U.S. cinematic history. The tough-as-nails role helped put Stallone on the map and pave the way for other titans of the action genre.

Legendary Entertainment's anticipatedStreet Fighterlive-action film is continuing to assemble its group of fighters. Indian action star Vidyut Jammwal is the latest addition to the film, set to portray the iconic Dhalsim, the limb-stretching yoga master from India. For Jammwal, this marks a significant milestone: his Hollywood debut. He is a well-known actor in India, recognized for his action roles and expertise in martial arts and has starred in numerous films in India, including the popular Commando and Khuda Haafiz franchises. Deadline, which broke the news of Jammwal's involvement, says the actor "has been deliberate about the project with which he wants to introduce himself in the U.S. market."

Dhalsim is one of Street Fighter's most recognizable characters. He was introduced in Street Fighter II: The World Warrior in 1991, and quickly became a fan favorite for his unique fighting style (which includes stretching his limbs to impossible lengths...

Another familiar character has been cast for the upcoming Street Fighter reboot. After several big names have already been announced, the latest actor to board the project is Vidyut Jammwal (Commando).

Per Deadline, Jammwal has been cast in the role of Dhalsim. The Dhalsim character has been featured in the video games since 1991's Street Fighter II. Depicted as a yogi with the ability to spit fire, his memorable special moves include "Yoga Flame" and "Yoga Fire." Dhalsim is also able to stretch his limbs to punch and kick opponents from afar. The character is a pacifist who goes against his peaceful beliefs by competing in a global tournament of the world's greatest fighters in order to raise money for his village.

Jammwal is best known for his work in India, where he appeared in major blockbuster franchises like Commando and Khuda Haafiz. He also produced and starred in last year's Crakk.

The cast of the Street Fighter movie continues to come together as Deadline reports that Vidyut Jammwal has signed on to play Dhalsim. The character, who first appeared in Street Fighter II, is a yogi who can stretch his limbs and use fire-based attacks. He’s also a pacifist who only joins the tournament in order to raise money for his family and village.

Street Fighter has been filling out its ranks rather furiously, with the cast currently consisting of Andrew Koji as Ryu, Noah Centineo as Ken, Callina Liang as Chun-Li, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, Cody Rhodes as Guile, Jason Momoa as Blanka, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog, Orville Peck as Vega, Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki, Roman Reigns as Akuma, and Hirooki Goto as E. Honda.

Street Fighter will serve as Jammwal’s Hollywood debut, but he’s already a well-known figure in India, with leading roles...

Fans have been waiting decades for a new live-action ‘Street Fighter’ adaptation since the 1994 camp cult classic, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Raúl Juliá, Kylie Minogue, and Ming-Na Wen. Now, after more than two years in development, a new film is finally in the works.

The film will be directed by Kitao Sakurai, who has taken over the project from Bring Her Back filmmakers Danny & Michael Philippou, and is set to be released in 2026 through Legendary. The film adaptation is being co-developed and co-produced alongside Capcom, the developer and publisher of the video games.

While the story for the film remains tightly under wraps, casting news has been coming in fast and furious. The cast has recently expanded with wrestler Hirooki Goto taking on the role of E. Honda and Vidyut Jammwal portraying Dhalsim. Previously confirmed cast members to the roster include David Dastmalchian as the iconic villain M. Bison, Orville Peck as Vega,...

Exclusive: Indian action star Vidyut Jammwal (Commando) has landed the role of Dhalsim in Legendary’s live-action Street Fighter movie, based on the video games from Capcom, sources tell Deadline.

Reps for Legendary declined to comment. The project marks the Hollywood debut of an actor who we’re told has been deliberate about the project with which he wants to introduce himself in the U.S. market. First introduced in Street Fighter II in 1991, the character of Dalsim is a yogi with fire-spitting abilities — a fundamentally peaceful man who fights to support his family.

As previously announced, the Street Fighter cast will also include Andrew Koji as Ryu, Noah Centineo as Ken, Callina Liang as Chun-Li, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, Cody Rhodes as Guile, Jason Momoa as Blanka, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog, Orville Peck as Vega, Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki, Roman Reigns as Akuma, and Hirooki Goto as E.

The Street Fighter project has begun casting, and you’ll see people being cast with a short list of credits on their IMDb pages or lack roles in action projects. That’s a good thing. It leaves fans of the game with fewer expectations since they don’t have much to go on. Granted, actors like Jason Momoa are established in their fields. That means you know what you're getting from them. Meanwhile, the others are still up in the air.

Coming up are the people cast in Street Fighter, who they’re playing, and whether or not they were good choices. Let’s start with the Otc (Original Tribal Chief).

David Dastmalchian is taking on one of his most exciting roles yet with his casting in the upcoming Street Fighter reboot. Following reports about the actor's casting in the film, Dastmalchian has officially confirmed his role.

While promoting his role in the new Paramount+ series Dexter: Resurrection, Dastmalchian was asked by Cbr's Caralynn Matassa about the Street Fighter movie following the reports of his casting. In the reports, Dastmalchian was said to be playing M. Bison, the big bad. While the actor couldn't share anything else about the movie, he verified that the reports were accurate.

As Dastmalchian said when asked what he could say about the film, "That I'm in it. That I'm playing M. Bison."

The M. Bison character was memorably played by the late Raul Julia in the original Street Fighter film in 1994, serving as a nemesis for Jean-Claude Van Damme's Guile. Neal McDonough later...

The Street Fighter movie just landed another heavy-hitter — literally —i n the shape of one of WWE's biggest stars. As first reported by Nexus Point News and now confirmed by Deadline, Cody Rhodes, 40, has offically signed on to take on the role of Guile in Legendary Pictures’ upcoming live-action Street Fighter reboot. The fan-favourite colonel with the unforgettable flat-top haircut is officially back — and this time, he’s bringing the Cross Rhodes with him.

Guile, introduced in Street Fighter II back in 1991, has become one of the most iconic characters in Capcom’s long-running franchise. Known for his “Sonic Boom” projectile attack, his stoic military discipline, and, of course, that theme song, Guile serves as the muscle and moral center of the roster. Within the lore of the story, he's an Air Force colonel who's trying to hunt down M. Bison and his Shadaloo empire, all while trying to...

It seems the upcoming Street Fighter movie could end up featuring (at least) two WWE Superstars.

Following yesterday's news that David Dastmalchian has joined the cast of Legendary's live-action video game adaptation as the villainous M. Bison, we're hearing that another key role may have been filled, with Nexus Point News reporting that Cody Rhodes is now in talks to play Guile.

Known for his signature flat-top haircut and Sonic Boom projectile, William Guile debuted as one of the original eight World Warriors in 1991's Street Fighter II. The tough, no-nonsense US Air Force Colonel made it his mission to take down Bison and his Shadaloo criminal empire following the death of his friend, Charlie Nash.

Guile was played by Jean-Claude Van Damme in the '90s movie.

Andrew Koji and Noah Centineo have reportedly closed their deals to play the co-lead roles of Ryu and Ken, respectively, and...

David Dastmalchian, star of Late Night With The Devil, has been announced as the Street Fighter film’s primary antagonist, M Bison.

Late Night With The Devil star David Dastmalchian has been unveiled as the arch villain in Legendary’s planned adaptation of Capcom’s Street Fighter videogame series. Fallout's Walton Goggins was previously said to be in negotiations for the role around a month ago, that hasn’t come to pass. Instead – thanks Deadline – it will be Dastmalchian who (presumably) dons the scarlet outfit of M Bison.

M Bison, the Street Fighter series’ big bad, is the kind of sneering villain who rocks a cloak and shoulder pads so you know he’s the final boss to end all final bosses. Nothing says ‘fascism’ like the combination of cloak, shoulder pads and a peaked military hat. And as the terrifying head of the criminal organisation known as Shadaloo,...

Deadline (via GameFragger.com) has revealed that David Dastmalchian (The Suicide Squad) has joined the cast of Legendary Entertainment's live-action Street Fighter movie as its lead villain, M. Bison. 

The actor has become a mainstay across film and television thanks to memorable supporting turns, but this will mark his biggest role to date. Dastmalchian was most recently seen in The Life of Chuck and received widespread praise for his work in Late Night with the Devil. 

Comic book fans will know him best for playing Kurt in the Ant-Man franchise and as Polka-Dot Man in The Suicide Squad. He's also voiced multiple DC characters, including Calendar Man and The Penguin, and played Abra Kadabra in The Flash.

Next up for Dastmalchian is Dexter: Resurrection and season 2 of Netflix's hit series One Piece, where he'll play the evil Mr. 3.

Back to M. Bison, he's the primary antagonist in the Street Fighter video game series.

A major Dune star will play the key villain in the live-action Street Fighter movie. Based on the Capcom video games, Legendary's live-action adaptation was originally announced in April 2023 with Danny and Michael Philippou in talks to direct, though they eventually dropped out and were replaced by Kitao Sakurai in May 2025.

More recently, the Street Fighter movie has made several big splashes by casting Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, Jason Momoa, Roman Reigns, Orville Peck, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki, and Callina Liang as Chun-Li.

Now, according to Deadline, Dune star David Dastmalchian has been cast as the villainous M. Bison in the Street Fighter movie. Representatives for Legendary declined to comment, and the film's plot remains under wraps.

Street Fighter was one of the most popular fighting video games of the 1990s, alongside Mortal Kombat. With Mortal Kombat getting a new film series at Warner Bros., it was only a matter of time until Street Fighter got the same reboot treatment. Sony Pictures and Legendary Entertainment seem to be fast-tracking the film, as casting news is coming at us faster than several high-speed punches delivered to the face.

The Hollywood Reporter has now revealed that Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson has joined the cast of Street Fighter as Balrog, a former boxer introduced in Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, and who works for the villainous M.

Update: It’s official! Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson will get in the ring as Balrog, the showboating American boxer who loves bourbon, gambling, and ladies! Balrog is M.

50 Cent joins a stacked cast that includes Andrew Koji as Ryu, Noah Centineo as Ken Masters, Jason Momoa as Blanka, Callina Liang as Chun-Li, Orville Peck as Vega, and Joe Anoa’i, aka WME superstar Roman Reigns as Akuma.

Original Article: The cast for Legendary’s upcoming Street Fighter movie is starting to come together, and it’s been rumoured that Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson has signed on to play Balrog. Nexus Point News first reported that 50 Cent was in talks for the role, and the multi-hyphenate seemingly confirmed the news on social media.

The rapper turned actor and entrepreneur has joined the eclectic cast of Street Fighter, Legendary Entertainment’s feature adaptation of the classic Capcom video game.

Legendary had no comment.

Kitao Sakurai (The Eric Andre Show) is directing the feature, which begins production in August in Australia.

Given the success of the 2021 Mortal Kombat reboot and the excitement around the upcoming sequel releasing in November, it was really only a matter of time before some bigwig at the studios blew the dust off their 8-bit video game cartridges and put together another live-action Street Fighter movie. No, we’re not talking about a sequel to that cursed Jean-Claude Van Damme version from the ’90s that gave us Raul Julia’s final, gloriously campy performance as M. Bison. We’re talking fresh cast, new direction, and a movie that could actually be… good. Well, it looks like things are finally heating up for the Street Fighter reboot. The first casting news is here: Callina Liang as Chun-Li, Andrew Koji as Ryu, Noah Centineo as Ken, Jason Momoa as Blanka, WWE’s Roman Reigns as Akuma, and country singer Orville Peck as Vega.

Caught by the Tides

Jia Zhang-ke’s elegiac and poetic feature revolves around a woman (Zhao Tao) who journeys from her home in a fading industrial city in search of a vanished former boyfriend. The movie looks back on China’s recent history, but also on Jia’s filmography, echoing themes, geographical features, techniques and structural elements while incorporating footage shot at various intervals from 2001 through 2023 — an approach that gives it a kind of kinship with Richard Linklater’s Boyhood. — David Rooney

Ghost Trail

Centering on a Syrian exile tracking down his former torturer in France, Jonathan Millet’s film is a work of visceral intensity and formidable control. Millet has a shrewd grasp of paranoid-thriller mechanics; a refreshing preference for intimacy and clarity over distancing stylistic or narrative fussiness; and two fantastic actors: soulful, movie-star-magnetic lead Adam Bessa and Tawfeek Barhom as a villain whose humanity is the most chilling thing about him.
