Meet the ‘Street Fighter’ Cast and the Fighters Each Actor Plays (With Pictures)

The ‘Street Fighter’ cast pairs actors with WWE stars, a UFC fighter and a country singer, which gives the live action version of Capcom’s arcade game an unusual mix of talent. Kitao Sakurai directs the film, which is set for release on October 16 through Paramount Pictures. Every performer is covered below, one name at a time.

The story is set in 1993 and follows estranged fighters Ryu and Ken Masters as Chun-Li recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament. In its review, Deadline called the reboot cheesy and action packed, and said its game cast should please fans looking to relive the nineties. That makes the casting the natural place to begin.
