WWE star Roman Reigns in talks for big role in the upcoming Street Fighter film
WWE star Roman Reigns is in talks to join the upcoming live-action Street Fighter movie by Legendary Entertainment. The WWE star's Hollywood career could reach new heights, especially after his recent absence from WWE following a brutal post-WrestleMania attack. The 39-year-old might soon land one of the biggest roles of his acting career. According to reports, the Tribal Chief is in talks to join a live-action Street Fighter movie. The film is being developed by Legendary Entertainment, the studio behind recent blockbusters like Dune and Godzilla vs. Kong. Reigns, whose real name is Leati Joseph Anoa'i, already has some acting experience. He played a small role in Hobbs & Shaw beside his cousin, The Rock (Dwayne Johnson), and also appeared in The Wrong Missy. But this Street Fighter role could put him in the spotlight like never before. A big move for the Tribal Chief beyond WWE? The report also claims that big names like Andrew Koji, Jason Momoa, and Noah Centineo are being considered for the project. If all goes well, it could become one of the most exciting video game movies in years. Roman Reigns is in talks to star in the live action 'STREET FIGHTER' TRIBAL CHIEF 🩸☝️ It is being said that the Tribal Chief is considered for the role of Akuma. This Street Fighter character is known to be evil but honourable. He is a strong warrior who enjoys defeating his foes. Akuma is popular due to his belief in having a fair fight and standing up for the weak. Akuma's personality matches Roman Reigns' gimmick in WWE. Hence, this could end up being a great opportunity for the WWE star. Roman Reigns is set to play Akuma in STREET FIGHTER 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥(Via @TheInSneider) This news comes just months after Reigns went missing from WWE TV. His last appearance was on the Raw after WrestleMania 41 in April 2025. That night, Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker took him out in brutal fashion, and he hasn't been seen since. Now, with his WWE return date uncertain, Roman might be focusing more on Hollywood. Even if nothing is final yet, this move shows just how far his star power has reached outside the wrestling ring.

Brian Tyree Henry Isn't Hiding
The actor Brian Tyree Henry made his professional debut in 2007, as Tybalt, in a shimmering 'Romeo and Juliet' for Shakespeare in the Park. More stage roles followed, then a nimble leap to television, in 'Atlanta,' and a turn to film. I saw it all, or nearly all (not 'Godzilla vs. Kong'). So I can't really explain how I spent so long in a nearly deserted hotel dining room sending increasingly anxious texts to Henry's publicist, wondering where he was. As I texted, Henry was sitting at a table maybe 20 feet away, in glasses and a baseball cap. The cap had a large B on it. Some comfort: This also happens to Julia Roberts, his co-star on a Sam Esmail film currently in production in Paris. 'He's kind of this quiet chameleon,' she told me later. 'Sometimes I don't put two and two together immediately. Then I'm like, oh, wait a minute: It's Brian again.' Henry, 42, an actor of extraordinary texture, vigor and grace, is tall and relatively broad. He looks, he knows, like a guy who used to play football. (Actually, he was a speech debate kid and a member of the marching band.) That he can disappear into roles, into a restaurant table, speaks to his gift, his craft. But for a man who has spent his life fighting to be seen, who struggles to feel that he belongs in the places he inhabits, it also brings a kind of pain. 'Even you didn't know me with glasses on,' he said, once I'd shifted to his table. 'There's always just something that people are expecting. Then I come in and they're just like, 'Oh, well, that's not what we want.' And I'm like, well, this is who I am.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
