New fan art is giving audiences a glimpse at the Street Fighter movie cast suited up as their characters. The Street Fighter movie is putting together an eclectic roster for the third live-action adaptation of the fighting game franchise. Since the debut of the first Street Fighter game in 1987, the series has thrived on a roster of unique fighters. The plot is straightforward, with the fighters competing in a tournament set up by the evil M. Bison, with some characters being outright villains.
News surrounding the casting for the upcoming Street Fighter movie began trickling out a few weeks back and has only continued to grow. Noah Centineo and Andrew Koji were first announced and rumored as Ken and Ryu, respectively, with Callina Liang as Chun-Li, 50 Cent as Balrog, Jason Momoa reportedly playing Blanka, and David Dastmalchian as M. Bison. Wrestler Cody Rhodes was recently announced as Guile, and comedian Andrew Schulz is bringing Dan Habiki to life. However, while the cast continues to grow, many struggle to see some of the aforementioned actors in their proposed roles.
The Street Fighter Movie Might Ignite a New Rivalry With a 'Real-World' One
While plot details are unknown, recent Street Fighter castings hint at a new rivalry being formed as a major point of the movie.
Thanks to Kode Abdo, aka bosslogic on Instagram, fans can glimpse the newly cast actors in the Street Fighter movie through an artist's interpretation, which shows them donning their characters' looks. While it isn't the entire cast, the artist offers what some actors may look like once they have the outfits, hair, and makeup to bring their video game counterparts to life. The fan art shows David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, Cody Rhodes as Guile, and 50 Cent as Balrog. While casting is likely not done yet, meaning more artist renderings may be on the way with new cast announcements, fans can check out the fan images of the Street Fighter actors below:
Hopefully, The Cast Of Street Fighter Is More Than Just Hype
When it comes to playing Street Fighter, the roster of characters makes the games fun, and the creative team behind the movie is looking to capture that with a team of entertaining combatants. While fans can dive into the lore, learning about Shadaloo and M. Bison's motivations, the fighting games boil down to simple good vs. Evil, which is personified via unique characters that help breathe life into the world.
While some casting choices feel awkward, like country music star Orville Peck as Vega, others have fans eager to see the end result, like Momoa potentially bringing Blanka to life. The casting of Dastmalchian as M. Bison also caused some fans to wonder if he was right for the role. However, like the art above, the actor can embody the villainous character. As more casting choices surrounding the Street Fighter movie are likely to trickle out, the movie will further take shape before it heads in front of cameras.
