Street Fighter - in theaters October 16th, 2026

[mikeszekely]

New Street Fighter reboot movie officially announced, along with cast pics.

I'll be honest, I don't know who most of those people are.  But they seem like reasonably good fits... for the most part.  I could definitely see David Dastmalchian (one of the guys I do know!) doing his best Raul Julia as Bison.  I'm not loving Roman Reigns as Akuma, though.   And what the heck is going on with Orville Peck?  My first thought was that his cast photo had him in costume, and for some reason they were changing Vega's mask to something more like Zorro.  But I guess a mask and cowboy hat is Peck's normal public look?  So it's meta having a guy who likes wearing a mask play the guy who likes wearing a mask?

Andrew Koji seems a tad small for Ryu.

A little, but like Bruce Lee he's pretty defined, and a trained martial artist.  I'm willing to give him a chance.

Other than Eric Andre and Jason Mamoa, I have no memory of what these other actors have done. And I’m pretty sure Eric Andre won’t last long. He’s more of an aged prankster than a fighter

He's playing one of Capcom's joke characters Don Sauvage. Think Snoop Dogg mixed with 80s wrestling manager Jimmy Heart with Apollo Creed's wardrobe, and is for all intents and purposes the tournament announcer.

I don’t really know much about that particular character. I checked out of fighting games a little over a decade ago. My hands just couldn’t do what they did in my teen and twenties and I tried keeping up through my thirties, but I just can’t keep up with the youngsters these days.

Although I do actually enjoy a lot of the silly Eric Andre stuff, I really enjoy watching him die in movies and shows.

I'd love to see his reaction if you told him that!

Andrew Koji was Storm Shadow in the Snake Eyes movie, and he's in The Warriors on HBO. And David Dastmalchian was Polka-Dot Man in The Suicide Squad. Roman Reigns is a pro wrestler, and apparently Orville Peck is a county music singer. Other than that, I don't really know either.

Honestly, I think he’d get a kick out of it. He dies so well and is pretty chaotic in his comedy. I still love those chaotic openings to his show where he’d go totally berserk and destroy the set and tackle the band at the beginning of every episode just to have a spare desk lowered onto the stage and other set items brought from around the corners at an attempt to make things look presentable again.

The ones I know of:

Cody Rhodes- Pro Wrestler (WWE, son of wrestling legend "Dusty Rhodes")

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson- Rapper (Eminem's friend)

Jason Momoa- Actor (Justice League. Aquaman, Dune)

Roman Reigns- Pro Wrestler (WWE)

Didn't know Andrew Koji was Storm Shadow O.O

Just search Eric Andre show intro on YouTube. Honestly the intros were the best part of the show. Pure chaos all the way
