So who plays who? We take stock of the distribution, starting with the two iconic stars of the title.

Andrew Koji will be Ryu

Specialist in martial arts and star of the series that is boosting a max, Warrior Between 2019 and 2019, Koji has already played a ninja in a super production in cinema adapting a cult license: he was Storm Shadow, in Snake Eyes, spin-off of Gi Joe from Hasbro. He will give life to the famous Japanese video game karateka.

Noah Centineo will be ken

Revealed as a romantic hero of To all the boys I likedthe handsome kid then muscled his game, whether in Warfare of Alex Garland and especially in Recruitaction and espionage thriller on Netflix. The one who will soon be the new Rambo (in the prequel film to come) will embody the American karateka of Street Fighter.

Jason Momoa will be Blanka

It is the biggest names in the distribution. The star ofAquaman will have fun playing the green monster from Brazil and the Amazonian forest, which sends electric discharges.

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson will be Balrog

Another superstar in the casting, the famous rapper who became an actor (especially in the series Power) will put on the gloves of the Las Vegas boxer.

David Dastmalchian will be Mr. Bison

We can currently see him as a crazy killer of the series Dexter: Resurrection (Soon in France on Canal +). Former of the Suicide Squad by James Gunn, he will make a perfect villain of Street Fighterin the shoes of the final boss, the terrifying bison that played the late Raúl Juliá in the 1994 version.

Callina Liang will be chun-li

The Canadian actress of Chinese origin made herself known in the latest film by Steven Soderbergh, Presence. She will put on the outfit of the Chinese fighter, incidentally an agent of Interpol, determined to charge Bison who killed her father. An icon of pop culture.

Hirooki Goto will be E. Honda

To embody the legendary Japanese Sumo of Video Game, production went to seek a legend of the wrestling of the country of the rising sun. Specialist in wrestling, the Japanese fighter will put on the Mawashi.

Cody Rhodes will be guile

Another wrestler! At 40, Rhodes is a current superstar in American wrestling and WWE. He will play the famous soldier of the American army, who launched Sonic Boom.

Roman Reigns will be akuma

And a third Star in the wrestling to make a good measure! Reings is another WWE star (and so he has often fought against Rhodes in the ring). Seeking to become an actor like many of his comrades, we saw him this summer in The PickupComedy Prime Video with Eddie Murphy. He will give life to this more recent game character, an alternative boss to Mr. Bison, and also younger brother of Gouken, the master of Ryu and Ken.

Vidyut Jammwal will be Dhalsim

He is a Bollywood star. Actor and producer of many Indian films, he will make his debut in Hollywood in this remake of Street Fighter. Specialist in martial arts and fighting, he notably learned “Kalaripayattu”, a martial art from Kerala and Tamil Nadu in South India. But can he extend his arms and legs like the Indian warrior of Street Fighter ?

Orville Peck will be vega

This South African Country musician, passed through various musicals between London and Broadway, is widely known to wear a mask often and not show his face in public. That’s good, this is the main characteristic of the masked and griffin fighter from Spain from Street Figher.

Andrew Schulz will be Dan Hibiki

It will be the comic bond of the film. Stand-up actor spent in a few TV series, Schulz will play this character created in Street Figher To parody the competing saga, The Art of Fighting of SNK. Dan is constantly portrayed as a pretentious, arrogant and extremely weak character. In history, he was a student formed by Gouken, the older brother of Akuma, who also formed Ken and Ryu.

Another actor and star of the US comedy, André (crossed in lots of series of which Ironheart de Marvel this year) will be the speaker of the tournament.
