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.

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.
