Summary

  • The upcoming Street Fighter movie reportedly adds Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson to the cast as Balrog.
  • The cast of Street Fighter continues to grow, with Jason Momoa, Roman Reigns, and Noah Centineo among those already announced.
  • Street Fighter reboot still has numerous details under wraps, but continues to impress with casting.

The lineup for the upcoming “Street Fighter” film expands with the addition of Balrog as a character. Earlier on, the production of the “Street Fighter” remake faced certain adjustments behind the scenes. However, the directorial duo Danny and Michael Philipou departed to focus on their new horror project, “Bring Her Back”. Taking over this year is Director Kitao Sakurai who will lead the production of this video game adaptation. Previously, he worked on episodes for “Twisted Metal” and the Eric Andre comedy “Bad Trip”. The script is being crafted by Dalan Musson, a co-writer from “Captain America: Brave New World”, and the cast continues to expand.

In a recent development, Callina Liang has been confirmed as the beloved character Chun-Li in the upcoming “Street Fighter” movie. Regrettably, Walton Goggins declined the part of M. Bison, but it indicates that the antagonist is being considered for the project. The cast already includes Jason Momoa, Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji, and WWE sensation Roman Reigns. A fresh report hints at another actor and character joining the expanding ensemble of the film.

As reported by Nexus Point News, there are plans to include Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson in the upcoming Street Fighter movie, portraying the character Balrog. Known for his success as a hip-hop artist with hits such as ‘In da Club’ and ’21 Questions’, 50 Cent has also made a name for himself in acting. He has appeared in films like ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’ and ‘Righteous Kill’ alongside Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, and has even ventured into video games with titles like ‘Call of Duty’. Previously reported as merely discussing the role, it now appears that 50 Cent himself has hinted at his involvement in the project on X (formerly Twitter).

Street Fighter Continues To Round Out The Cast, But Much Remains Under Wraps

Balrog made his debut in the 1991 version of Street Fighter II. Known previously as a disgraced boxer, he now serves as an enforcer for the Shadaloo organization, under M. Bison’s control. Joining him in this upcoming project are Chun-Li and rumored to be Blanka (Momoa), Ken (Centineo), Ryu (Koji), and Akuma (Reigns). It is expected that more characters and actors will be added to the cast, as the games boast a large roster.

In the diverse lineup of characters for Street Fighter, Balrog is another addition. The games portray various distinctive fighters from around the globe, summoned by the villain M. Bison, to engage in a combative tournament due to his malevolent intentions. Although the movie’s narrative remains undisclosed, it appears set to adhere to this basic structure, as the news about M. Bison and the expanding roster of fighters suggests. The film also seems to be filling both antagonist and protagonist roles, with Street Fighter aiming to leverage recent victories such as Mortal Kombat, which likewise has a sequel movie in progress. Future announcements regarding the production of Street Fighter will be shared as development proceeds.
