David Dastmalchian Lands Role Of Villain M. Bison In Legendary's ‘Street Fighter'
EXCLUSIVE: David Dastmalchian (The Life of Chuck) has landed the role of big bad M. Bison in Legendary's live-action Street Fighter movie, based on the video games from Capcom, sources tell Deadline. Reps for Legendary declined to comment. It's the biggest role to date for the actor, who's now been working consistently for nearly 20 years, and marks another big leap forward, following his strong marks earned for starring in the buzzy horror film Late Night with the Devil. More from Deadline 'Street Fighter' Cast: Who's Who In The Live-Action Arcade Film Adaption 'Janet Planet's Annie Baker Reteaming With A24 On 'Ancient History'; Sophia Lillis & Daniel Zolghadri To Star 'Street Fighter' Movie At Legendary Adds Andrew Schulz To Cast Plot details for Street Fighter remain under wraps. M. Bison is the central villain of many of the games — the leader of the criminal organization known as Shadaloo, which is involved in various illegal activities, including arms trafficking, mind control experiments, and global domination. His ultimate goal? World domination. As previously announced, others in the cast of Street Fighter include Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, Jason Momoa, Roman Reigns, Orville Peck, Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, and Andrew Schulz. Bad Trip's Kitao Sakurai is directing. Launched in 1987, Street Fighter is a series of fighting games revolving around intense one-on-one battles between a diverse cast of martial artists, organized by M. Bison as a global fighting tournament. The games have sold over 55 million units worldwide since launch, making the franchise one of the most well-known and highest-grossing of all time. Recently seen in Mike Flanagan's Stephen King adaptation The Life of Chuck, which won the coveted People's Choice Award at TIFF and went on to distribution via Neon, Dastmalchian was also seen starring earlier this year alongside Alexander Skarsgård in Apple's comedic sci-fi thriller series Murderbot. No stranger to villain turns, he'll soon be seen in Dexter: Resurrection and Season 2 of Netflix's hit series One Piece, where he plays the evil Mr. 3. Currently in production opposite Kelly Marie Tran on the psychological thriller Kodak SuperXX, with Bryan Fuller's Dust Bunny among his other upcoming projects, Dastmalchian is repped by Atlas Artists and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller.

This week, we take a contemporary look at C.S. Lewis's writings and delve into an atmospheric work of Charles Dickens, set in London and Paris. Non-Fiction ' By Jeffrey W. Barbeau Theologian Jeffrey Barbeau examines connections linking C.S. Lewis to English Romantic literature and modern theology, all in the hope of gaining a better understanding of Lewis's views on the relationship between truth and personal experience. The result is an engaging journey ranging from British poets to Lewis's autobiographical writings. Impressive as well are the gracious critiques by three scholars of Barbeau's essays, which offer readers a shining example of academic civility at work. IVP Academic, 2025, 176 pages Science Fiction ' By John Scalzi One fine day, the Moon turned into cheese. It happened overnight, perhaps instantaneously. All of a sudden the moon's diameter is 300 miles larger and its albedo higher. It's larger in the sky and bright enough to see during the day. This humorous science fiction novel follows the first lunar month after the Moon becomes effectively green (fresh) cheese. It tracks the madness and downright lunacy that results on Earth. A lighthearted, thought-provoking, and thoroughly entertaining book. Tor Books, 2025, 336 pages Ancient History ' By Josiah Osgood One of today's leading scholars on Ancient Rome takes readers through the final years of the Roman Republic before it became the Roman Empire. In a brilliant narrative, Osgood uses a number of trials involving Marcus Tullius Cicero, as either prosecutor or defender. Written in chronological order, the parallels between Rome's political structure and Cicero's major career cases are striking. Witness, like never before, the rise and fall of some of ancient history's mightiest figures. Related Stories 4/17/2025 4/10/2025 Basic Books, 2025, 384 pages Naval History ' By David R. Leick USS Princeton, CVL-23, known to its crew as the 'Sweet P,' was one of nine World War II light aircraft carriers built on the hulls of ships originally designed as light cruisers. This book is a ship biography of the Princeton, telling the vessel's story from its inception to its loss at the Battle of Leyte. A standard, yet well-presented ship biography, it follows the pattern Edward P. Stafford set in his 1964 work 'The Big E.' This is a book for those interested in WWII-era naval history. Osprey Publishing, 2024, 304 pages Classics ' By Charles Dickens Unlike many other novels, we don't read a Dickens novel; we live inside it, wrapped up in its descriptions and characters. So it is with this story, which is set primarily in London and revolutionary Paris. Released at last from a Paris prison, Dr. Manette joins his angelic daughter Lucie in England. The exiled aristocrat Charles Darnay and drunken lawyer Sydney Carton vie for her affections during this age of turmoil and cruelty. A grand novel of ideas, justice, and redemption. Penguin Classics, 2003, 544 pages For Kids ' By Patricia MacLachlan and Mike Wimmer Every illustration in this book is a gorgeous work of art, but that doesn't overshadow the tender narrative. A young boy describes the cherished places and beloved people in his life. Poignant and delightful, this simple book is a treasure and a delight to read, celebrating the beauty of the natural world and the love of family. Exquisite.
