Summary
- Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns join the 2026 Street Fighter movie.
- Rhodes plays Guile, while Reigns takes on the role of Akuma.
- The film aims for a physical fighting aura, embracing its game roots.
The upcoming 2026 Street Fighter movie has secured a significant cast addition with WWE World Champions Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. Rhodes is set to embody the character of Guile, while Reigns will portray the formidable Akuma. This casting brings a strong physical presence to the film adaptation of the beloved fighting game.
The project is being developed with an emphasis on capturing the iconic fighting aura of the Street Fighter series. Filmmakers aim to leverage the game's inherent physicality and visual distinctiveness, rather than forcing complex characterizations absent in the source material.
Joining Rhodes and Reigns are actors Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji, and Callina Liang in main roles, with 50 Cent and Jason Momoa also on board. This diverse cast aims to broaden the film's appeal beyond just the Street Fighter name, working to establish it as a credible studio action release and a compelling game adaptation.
Recent successful game adaptations like Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and The Last of Us have set high expectations. The Street Fighter movie faces the challenge of making its characters resonate beyond their recognizable appearances, requiring the cast to deliver strong performances to make the world feel tangible and engaging.
