If you are into hand-to-hand arcade combat games, one name has stood the test of time and remains a fan favorite to date, and it’s none other than Street Fighter. Considering the popularity of this game, if Tekken and Mortal Kombat could get live-action adaptations, why not Street Fighter? So, if you are someone who has been thinking about that same question, the wait is over since Street Fighter is getting a live-action adaptation. Now, even though we don’t have the entire cast of Street Fighter, we do have some confirmed cast members along with some rumored characters. Check out the list of Street Fighter movie cast below.
1. 50 Cent as Balrog
One of the biggest announcements about the Street Fighter movie cast was the inclusion of the world-famous rapper, 50 Cent, as Balrog. He will play the beloved boxer in the movie and is pretty excited to do so. This is evident from the recent update he gave, telling us about how deeply he is in training to fit into the part the best he can. While some people think it is fitting, a lot of people are skeptical of this casting. What do guys think? Let us know in the comments.
2. Jason Momoa as Blanka
One of the A-list actors set to appear in the Street Fighter 2026 movie is Jason Momoa. He has previously appeared in the DC Extended Universe as Arthur Curry aka Aquaman. Now that the DCEU has come to an end, Momoa has rejoined the new DCU under James Gunn and will appear as Lobo in the new universe. Now, talking about Street Fighter, Momoa will take up the role of Blanka, the green brute of this universe with the ability to generate electricity. So, let’s wait and see what Momoa brings to the table with this new role before once again appearing in DC.
3. Callina Liang as Chun-Li
Callina Liang will appear in Street Fighter as one of its most beloved characters, Chun-Li. Talking about the actress herself, Callina Liang has displayed her talents in some popular movies and shows such as Tell Me Everything (2022), Bad Genius (2024), and Presence (2024).
Chun-Li has been an important figure in Street Fighter as she was the first female fighter in the game series, and her backstory tells us that she is an expert martial artist and an Interpol officer who is out to take revenge for her father’s death.
4. Noah Centineo as Ken
Noah Centineo became famous after appearing in To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before as Peter Kavinsky, and since then, he has appeared in multiple other movies from the same franchise. Other than that, he has also done a phenomenal job with a new thriller series titled The Recruit and is now set to appear in the cast of Street Fighter 2026 as Ken Masters. He was introduced in the first Street Fighter game and has been a part of it since then. He is often seen as a rival to Ryu, but they have a rather love-hate relationship.
5. Andrew Koji as Ryu
Andrew Koji is set to play not one of, but the most popular character in the lore of Street Fighter, Ryu. If you are not familiar with the actor, he has appeared in multiple action movies and TV shows that feature Martial Arts. Andrew Koji’s breakout role came in the Cinemax series Warrior, and since then, he has appeared in popular titles including Peaky Blinders, Boy Kills World, Gangs of London, Bullet Train, Black Doves, and Snake Eyes. Now, he is set to play Ryu in the Street Fighter movie, so let’s wait and see how it goes.
6. Orville Peck as Vega
In a cast full of actors and athletes, Orville Peck, a country musician, is set to appear as Vega, and it makes sense why he would be cast as this character. Orville Peck’s trademark is wearing a mask and never showing his face in public, and Vega, the character from Street Fighter, also wears a mask in the popular fighting game.
7. Joseph ‘Joe’ Anoaʻi/Roman Reigns as Akuma
Roman Reigns, the beloved WWE star, is set to appear in the cast of the Street Fighter movie as Akuma, one of the secondary antagonists in the lore of Street Fighter. Akuma is the arch-nemesis of Ryu and also the brother of Ryu’s master. With that being said, it is pretty self-explanatory that in this movie, Roman Reigns will be seen as a negative character, and as far as I think, he will manage to pull it off.
