Roman Reigns Confirmed For Street Fighter Movie Role
Roman Reigns is getting ready to (street) fight. Reigns was rumored to be in the running for a role in the upcoming live-action Street Fighter movie. Deadline reported that Reigns, Andrew Koji, Jason Momoa, and Noah Centineo were in talks to star in the live-action Street Fighter movie produced by Legendary Pictures. According to Hollywood reporter Jeff Sneider (The InSneider), Reigns was up for the role of Akuma. Reigns' role as Akuma has now been confirmed in a new report for another role in the movie. The Hollywood Reporter revealed that rapper/actor Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson joined the cast. Jackson will play Balrog, 'a disgraced boxer who is also the bodyguard of the villain.' That same report also seemingly confirms the roles of both Roman Reigns and Jason Momoa, also ending speculation that they were up for the same role. 'The call sheet ranges from A-lister Jason Momoa as Blanka to heartthrob Noah Centineo as Ken to gay country singer Orville Peck as Vega. Joe Anoa'i, aka WWE superstar Roman Reign [sic], and martial artist-actor Andrew Koji (Warrior), are on the roll call as battler Akuma and lead character Ryu, respectively. Callina Liang (Presence) is playing Chun-Li,' THR wrote. Reigns' past acting credits include Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw and a voice-acting role on Disney's Elena of Avalor series. The new Street Fighter film is a new live-action film based on the iconic Street Fighter video game series. Akuma is the younger brother of Gouken, who is Ryu and Ken's master. Akuma debuted as a secret final boss character in the Super Street Fighter II Turbo video game. He has also appeared in multiple games since then, including 2023's Street Fighter 6. Roman Reigns has been absent from WWE TV for several weeks, but he is rumored to make his return ahead of SummerSlam.
