Street Fighter Movie Finds Its Live-Action E. Honda
According to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, New Japan Pro-Wrestling legend Hirooki Goto has joined the film to play the iconic E. Honda. Goto began his wrestling career back in 2003, and over the course of his career has held over 10 championships with the company, including its top championships various times.
In the world of Street Fighter, E. Honda is a mainstay. The character was one of the original eight playable characters in Street Fighter II, and has been in the games ever since. The character was also represented in the 1994 live-action film, where he was played by Peter 'Navy' Tuiasosopo.
Goto is yet another wrestler set to appear in the movie. Previously, it was reported that WWE star Cody Rhodes will play Guile in the movie, and Akuma is also rumored to be played by none other than Joe Anoa'i, aka Roman Reigns.
The cast of the upcoming Street Fighter movie features a star-studded group, including Andrew Koji as Ryu, Callina Liang as Chun-Li, Noah Centineo as Ken, Jason Momoa as Blanka, Roman Reigns as Akuma, Orville Peck as Vega, Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki, and Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson as Balrog.
Production on the film is expected to begin in Australia this coming August. Plot details remain under wraps at this time. Legendary Entertainment is co-developing and co-producing the project alongside Capcom.
A release date for the Street Fighter movie has not yet been set.

James Gunn Reportedly Cut a NSFW Joke From SUPERMAN — GeekTyrant
James Gunn has never been shy about injecting irreverent humor into his movies. Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad are proof of that. But, when it comes to Superman , the tone is a little different. The Man of Steel isn't a rebel or an antihero; he's DC's symbol of hope. So while Gunn still brings his trademark wit style, and direction, it's not shocking to hear a NSFW joke got the axe before the film's release. The cut gag didn't come from Superman himself, but from one of his new allies. According to X user @ViewerAnon, the joke appeared during a major action sequence where Superman (David Corenswet) battles a kaiju-sized monster unleashed by Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult). The fight is a big spectacle and it's also where the Justice Gang joins in on the fun: Guy Gardner's Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl (Isabella Merced), and Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi). The heroes team up to bring the beast down, though Superman insists on avoiding killing the creature. In the aftermath, things get lighthearted, at least in the original cut, when Guy lobbed this NSFW line at Supes:

‘Severance' and ‘The White Lotus' Dominate the Emmy Acting Categories
TV buzz doesn't always translate into Emmy nominations. But it did this year for 'Severance' and 'The White Lotus,' which have amassed rabid fandoms that gather online and in real life to dissect and celebrate the dramas. The second season of 'Severance,' the mind-bending sci-fi workplace thriller on Apple TV+, earned 27 nominations on Tuesday morning, the most of any show this year. Nine of those went to its cast, including Adam Scott and Britt Lower for best lead actor and actress in a drama. Supporting nods went to Patricia Arquette, Zach Cherry, Tramell Tillman and John Turturro. Guest acting nominations went to Jane Alexander, Gwendoline Christie and Merritt Wever. Season 3 of 'The White Lotus,' the darkly comic HBO drama that skewers self-absorbed luxury travelers, earned 23 nominations, including eight for its cast, which is mostly refreshed with each new season. This year, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, Sam Rockwell, Natasha Rothwell and Aimee Lou Wood received supporting acting nominations. Scott Glenn was nominated for best guest actor in a drama. 'Severance' and 'The White Lotus' were both nominated for best drama. The other contenders are: 'Andor,' 'The Diplomat,' 'The Last of Us,' 'Paradise,' 'The Pitt' and 'Slow Horses.' Originally considered a limited series, 'The White Lotus' cleaned up in that category at the 2022 Emmys, winning 10 awards, more than any other show, including best limited series. The show moved to the drama category for its second season. 'Severance' and 'The White Lotus' were not eligible for Emmys in 2024, and in previous years, they were mostly thwarted in the drama category by the former juggernaut 'Succession.' With that series over and last year's record-breaking drama 'Shogun' out of contention this time around, there's a good chance 'Severance' and 'The White Lotus' will be duking it out for the night's biggest haul. The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards will be held on Sept. 14 in Los Angeles. CBS will broadcast the ceremony.
