50 Cent, Andrew Schulz, & More Allegedy Cast In Upcoming Street Fighter Movie, Fans Are Arleady Saying It's Going To Be Trash
The first Street Fighter movie was a pure struggle, and based on the casting news for the new film based on Capcom's popular fighting game franchise, it already looks like it won't be any better.
1994's Street Fighter, a live-action movie starring an allegedly coked-up Jean-Claude Van Damme, set the bar very low for any movie studio to insert another coin and hit continue in hopes of delivering something worth our time, featuring our favorite world warriors.
Outside of the anime films, we have seen some spinoffs, such as Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, which also flopped hard. However, director Kitao Sakurai aims to deliver a proper Street Fighter film that fans of the fighting game franchise can be proud of.
With the bar being in hell, Sakurai doesn't have to do much to drop a decent film based on the popular video game IP. Still, fans are beginning to worry that this movie is already doomed before the cameras start rolling based on some of the casting decisions. This Movie's Cast Is Quite Questionable
Now, not all the choices are complete headscratchers, like Andrew Koji ( Warrior , Snake Eyes , and Bullet Train ) as the legendary wandering warrior Ryu, Jason Momoa ( Aquaman , Justice League) as Blanka, or Callina Liang as Chun-Li.
But then things start to go off the rails, with 50 Cent as Balrog, Andrew Schulz as Dan, Roman Reigns as Akuma, Cody Rhodes as Guile, Noah Centino as Ken, country music star Orville Peck as Vega, and David Dastmalchian ( The Suicide Squad , The Dark Knight ) as M. Bison.
The reaction to the casting announcements, as expected, is on the worried side, with fans already calling the film trash, just purely based on the casting announcements.
Welp.
We're just gonna have to hope this movie isn't as bad as the first one. You can see more reactions below.

Kathy Griffin Reveals Results Of Third Facelift
Kathy Griffin is known for being honest, especially when it comes to subjects other celebrities might want to keep private. Griffin recently shared with fans that she underwent another facelift in a video aptly titled 'New Face, Same Kathy!' that she released earlier this month. 'It's my third,' the comedian shared. 'I know, that's so vain. I'm so vain for no reason.' 'No one has ever gone to a Kathy Griffin show to see her beautiful, youthful face,' she quipped. 'You come to hear my jokes, which is what I want. I don't want you to come to care what I look like.' Griffin then went into detail about the procedure, joking that 'as far as I know, they just yank the crap out of your skin and your neck.' She also spoke about the process of choosing her surgeon, Dr. Ben Talei, and said that he also did singer Sia 's facelift. 'And the reason I'm saying that is that you can go on YouTube [and find this out],' Griffin said. 'There's a video of her without her backwards wig, 'cause as you know, she's an anonymous giant celebrity, and she even gave him an award, and she had the best before and after pictures I've ever seen.' 'And first of all, it's funny that Sia even got a facelift because you don't ever see her face, but the pictures sold me,' the 64-year-old added. Griffin also got real about the surgical recovery process and made sure followers knew what they were getting into if they decided to follow in her footsteps. 'I'm going to be honest ― it's painful,' she said, mentioning that she had stitches in her eyelids. 'So these bitches that are like, 'It's like getting a tooth filled! It's nothing!' No ― it's painful.' Kathy Griffin/YouTube / Via And while the results might eventually look great, post-op recovery isn't pretty, the actor said. 'You come home ― and maybe you come home with a nurse ― and it's disgusting. I'm not going to lie,' she said. 'The first night, there's drains that come out of your chin. I know, it's so gross. But the vanity takes over.' Kathy Griffin/YouTube / Via Many commenters on Griffin's video praised the comedian for her transparency. Patricia Schlein / Getty Images Celebrities like Kylie Jenner, Kris Jenner, and Joel McHale have also recently been lauded for sharing details about various cosmetic procedures they've undergone. Luigi Iorio / Getty Images McHale made waves for opening up about his fourth hair transplant on the We Might Be Drunk podcast back in June, and even recommended his doctor. 'I can get you a name of a guy in Turkey,' McHale said. 'But just make sure, 'cause if somebody is like, 'I'll do it for $3,000,' then you don't [do it]. You get what you pay for.'

Who Is Manny Jacinto's Wife, Dianne Doan?
Apologies to everyone who's been drooling over Manny Jacinto's Cosmo Centerfold, but the Freakier Friday star is, indeed, off the market. He's been with his wife, fellow actor Dianne Doan, for well over a decade, having met in a dance class before Manny even started acting. However! The two are so low-key about their relationship that you may not have even realized they're together, which is why I think it's time for a deep dive. Ahead, everything you need to know about Manny's wife Dianne, including how they met, when they got married, and what makes them such a good match. First things first... Yep, that's right. Like Manny, Dianne is an actor, and she's best known for playing Kora in season 7 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., as well as Mai Ling in Cinemax's Warrior. You also might recognize her as Lonnie (the daughter of Mulan and Li Shang) from the Descendants franchise or Molly Tran from Grey's Anatomy. Before breaking into acting, Dianne made her living as a dancer—and in fact, it was in a dance class that she first met Manny. As she recounted during a 2023 interview, '[We] were dancers, and we met in a hip-hop fundamentals training program called Soldiers in Vancouver.' Speaking of which... Also like Manny, Dianne is Canadian, and during an 2024 interview, she spoke about how moving from Vancouver to Los Angeles helped her develop her confidence as an actor. 'When I came to America, the first thing I noticed was an innate confidence in this culture,' she said. 'Only in the last couple of years have I found my voice and feel like I matter and am making room for myself.' While it's not clear how long Dianne dated Manny before he popped the question, it's obvious that he put a lot of thought into the proposal. When asked about the engagement during an interview with Vulture, Manny said, 'I took her to places that really meant a lot to us. Where I first met her, where I first saw her, where we had our first date, and where we had our first dance class.' He added, 'I took her through five different places, and at the last place I had our families waiting and I proposed.' It's not clear exactly when they got married, but during his Cosmo Blind Date episode, Manny confirmed that he and Dianne tied the knot all the way back in 2021. During his Centerfold interview with Cosmo, Manny revealed that a 'great date' for his wife would involve a home-cooked meal (though apparently, he's not much of a chef himself). 'I wish I could cook, but she comes from a family that does a lot of cooking, and a lot of the connection has been made at the dinner table,' he explained. Her ideal meal? 'For Dianne, it would be something Vietnamese because she's Vietnamese,' he continued. 'Whether it be pho or Bún Bò or something that's comfort food for her.'

You need to see these 'Reacher' season 4 set photos — Alan Ritchson's new love interest revealed
"Reacher" is undeniably one of the biggest hits for Prime Video. The first three seasons have been critically and commercially successful for the streaming service — I loved season 3 when I reviewed it here at Tom's Guide — and it wasn't surprising when the show was officially renewed for season 4. Now, with production in full swing, we've gotten a first look at a major cast member. Via @rikiwichman, a fan account on Instagram, we finally got a first look at Sydelle Noel, who has joined the "Reacher" season 4 cast as Tamara Green. They initially posted the announcement back on June 18 when Noel was officially added to the cast, but revised the post yesterday (Aug. 11), complete with new set photos of Noel as Green (via Getty Images). A post shared by Riki Wichman (@rikiwichman) A photo posted by on The set photos of Sydelle smartly dressed in a professional yet functional outfit don't reveal much about her character, but her character's name reveals everything. That's because Tamara Green was originally Theresa Lee, and that means she's Alan Ritchson's love interest for season 4. For those less familiar with "Reacher," they're based on the "Jack Reacher" novel series by Lee Child, and that means if we know what book a season is based on, then we know a decent amount about what to expect from a given season. We know season 4 is based on the novel "Gone Tomorrow," thanks to an Alan Ritchson post on Instagram a few months ago. And in that installment of the series, Jack Reacher's love interest is none other than NYPD detective Theresa Lee. A post shared by Alan Ritchson (@alanritchson) A photo posted by on That makes this first look a pretty major one for "Reacher" season 4, as past love interests — Roscoe Conklin (Willa Fitzgerald), Serinda Swan (Karla Dixon) and Susan Duffy (Sonya Cassidy) — all played major roles in their given seasons, arguably costarring alongside Ritchson. So definitely don't expect this to be the last you see of Tamara Green between now and the "Reacher" season 4 release on Prime Video. So far, we know that "Reacher" season 4 will bring back Alan Ritchson as the titular, mammoth Jack Reacher, a former U.S. Army military police major whose skills allow him to solve any case and kick any butt. We also know that season 4 will be adapting "Gone Tomorrow," which has Reacher drawn into a deadly game against dangerous people after a fraught, chance encounter with a stranger on a train.

Only Ritchson as Reacher and Maria Sten as Frances Neagley have appeared in all three seasons to date. Of course, we know Noel will be a major part of the season 4 cast as Reacher's love interest, Green, but we also know a few other cast members joining this season. Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette is playing Jacob Merrick, a small-town police officer with a big role in season 4. Jay Baruchel was originally cast as Merrick but had to leave for personal reasons. Rodriguez-Marquette, Ritchson and Noel are joined by Agnez Mo and Anggun as Lila and Amisha Hoth, who we are expecting to be the villains this season. Kevin Corrigan is playing Green's partner, NYPD Detective Docherty, Marc Blucas is politician John Samson and Kathleen Robertson is his wife, Elsbeth. Kevin Weisman is also on board as Russell Plum, the lone character that, as far as we can tell, isn't in the novel "Gone Tomorrow." The big question that remains? Will Sten return for a fourth season as Neagley? I hope so, but there's nothing official yet. She might be too busy with her "Reacher" spin-off, "Neagley," which is currently in production. Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022 and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made. Here's what he's been watching lately:
