Every Actor and Actress Confirmed for the Upcoming ‘Street Fighter’ Movie (as of June 2025)
The upcoming live-action ‘Street Fighter’ movie, set to bring Capcom’s iconic fighting game to the big screen in 2026, has us buzzing with anticipation. Directed by Kitao Sakurai, known for his work on ‘Bad Trip’ (2021), this reboot aims to deliver a fresh take on the beloved franchise, leaving behind the mixed reception of earlier adaptations like ‘Street Fighter’ (1994) and ‘Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li’ (2009).
With a cast packed with diverse talent, from musicians to wrestlers to action stars, the film is shaping up to be a bold mix of charisma and martial arts flair. Production is slated to begin in August 2025 in Australia, promising intense fight scenes and a nod to the game’s vibrant characters. Here’s every confirmed actor and actress for the ‘Street Fighter’ movie as of June 2025, along with the roles they’ll bring to life.
Callina Liang as Chun-Li
Callina Liang steps into the iconic role of Chun-Li, the skilled martial artist and Interpol officer who first appeared in ‘Street Fighter II’ (1991). Fresh off her performances in the thriller ‘Presence’ (2025) and the high school drama ‘Bad Genius’ (2024), Liang is poised to anchor the film as its female lead, bringing both grace and power to this fan-favorite character.
Her casting signals a focus on Chun-Li’s strength and depth, qualities Liang has showcased in her recent roles. We’re excited to see how she captures the essence of this trailblazing fighter, known for her lightning-fast kicks and unyielding determination.
Andrew Koji as Ryu
Andrew Koji takes on Ryu, the disciplined and introspective warrior central to the ‘Street Fighter’ saga. Known for his dynamic performance as Ah Sahm in ‘Warrior’ (2019-2023) and his martial arts skills in ‘Snake Eyes’ (2021), Koji is a natural fit for Ryu’s stoic yet intense persona.
His ability to blend emotional depth with physical prowess makes him ideal for portraying Ryu’s internal struggle against his darker impulses, like Evil Ryu. We can’t wait to see Koji deliver the iconic Hadoken on the big screen.
Noah Centineo as Ken Masters
Noah Centineo brings his charm to Ken Masters, Ryu’s fiery and flamboyant rival. Recognized for his heartthrob roles in ‘To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before’ (2018) and action turns in ‘The Recruit’ (2022-present), Centineo’s casting suggests a Ken who’s both cocky and relatable.
His chemistry with Koji’s Ryu could be a highlight, especially if the film focuses on their classic rivalry from the games. Centineo’s knack for balancing humor and intensity should make Ken a standout in this ensemble.
Jason Momoa as Blanka
Jason Momoa tackles Blanka, the green-skinned, electric-charged fighter with a tragic backstory. A powerhouse in films like ‘Aquaman’ (2018) and ‘A Minecraft Movie’ (2025), Momoa’s larger-than-life presence suits Blanka’s wild, feral energy.
His ability to convey raw emotion will likely bring depth to Blanka’s tale of survival and humanity. We’re eager to see Momoa transform into this electrifying character, complete with shocking moves and a fierce on-screen presence.
Roman Reigns as Akuma
WWE superstar Roman Reigns, born Leati Joseph Anoa’i, steps into the role of Akuma, Ryu’s formidable arch-nemesis. Known for his commanding presence in wrestling and roles in ‘Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw’ (2019), Reigns is a strong choice for the menacing martial artist driven by the Satsui no Hado.
His physicality and intensity will likely make Akuma a daunting foe. We’re curious to see how Reigns channels this complex villain’s dark energy in the film’s tournament setting.
Orville Peck as Vega
Country singer Orville Peck makes his feature film debut as Vega, the masked, claw-wielding narcissist. After starring as the Emcee in ‘Cabaret’ on Broadway (2024-2025), Peck’s enigmatic persona aligns perfectly with Vega’s flamboyant and deadly style.
His casting adds a unique flair to the roster, and we’re intrigued to see if he’ll keep Vega’s signature mask or reveal a new take. Peck’s presence promises a stylish and dangerous performance.
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson joins as Balrog, the disgraced boxer and Shadaloo enforcer. A rapper and actor known for ‘Power’ (2014-2020) and his recent action FAST channel 50 Cent Action, Jackson is reportedly training hard to perform his own stunts as the brutal fighter.
His gritty charisma fits Balrog’s rough-around-the-edges vibe. We’re looking forward to seeing Jackson throw punches as this powerhouse villain in the ‘Street Fighter’ universe.
Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki
Comedian Andrew Schulz takes on Dan Hibiki, the overconfident yet underpowered fighter introduced in ‘Street Fighter Alpha’ (1995). Known for his stand-up specials like ‘Andrew Schulz: Life’ (2025) and the podcast Flagrant Pod, Schulz’s comedic chops make him a great match for Dan’s boastful, bumbling persona.
His role is likely to inject humor into the film, and we’re excited to see Schulz bring Dan’s quirky moves, like the Gadoken, to life with his signature wit.
