Legendary Street fighter The film is going on and the casting is in progress. Kitao Sakurai (Bad Trip, The Eric Andre Show) is officially on the director’s presidency after entering the Philippou brothers.
Has recently been revealed Andrew Koji (Bullet train) ,, Jason Momoa (A Minecraft movie) ,, Noah Centineo (War) and WWE megastar Reigns Romano (Hobbs and Shaw) are all in negotiations to star in the next live film.
We know we know who could play these actor. Momoa is said to take on the role of Blanda, the jungle with electrical skin. If this passes, it is difficult not to be curious about how far they will go with the changed appearance of the character and the wild energy.
Deadline also confirms that Koji and Centineo are in negotiations to guide the film like Ryu and Ken, respectively. The legendary duo was the face of Street fighter Franchise since its beginning, known for their rival bromance and devastating combo “Hadoken”.
In the meantime, Insider Jeff Sneider He heard that Reigns got the role of Akuma, Ryu and Ken’s tragic villain and their master’s killer, Gouken. This is an excellent choice of casting. I really hope they lean on an iconic aspect of all these characters.
No detail of the plot has been officially revealed, and we do not know if this will be a saga of martial arts that tries the globe, a tournament -style configuration or something more guided by the character. But with these casting choices, it is clear that the film is trying to go great.
Let’s not forget the story of Street Fighter with Live-Action. The 1994 cult classic starring Jean-Claude Van Damme Like Guile it is remembered more for its field than for its quality and 2009 The legend of Chun-Li… well, most fans forgot that it has ever happened.
With the Sakurai surreal comedies ribs (The Eric Andre Show, Twisted Metal), this restart could give a new tone that balances action and personality.
If the creative team really tilts into the bizarre fun of the material of origin, this could finally be the Street fighter Movies we were waiting for.
Stay tuned because we are coming to the first round.
