Walton Goggins Reprotedly in Talks To Play M. Bison in Live-Action STREET FIGHTER Film — GeekTyrant
Legendary's live-action Street Fighter movie is shaping up to be an interesting video game adaptation and according to industry insider Jeff Sneider, Walton Goggins, Eric André, and musician Orville Peck are all circling roles in the project, with Goggins reportedly in talks to take on the role of M. Bison. M. Bison is the iconic, cape-swirling villain once played by the legendary Raúl Juliá in the gloriously bonkers 1994 film adaptation. Sneider revealed the scoop in his newsletter, later elaborating on The Hot Mic podcast with co-host John Rocha. When asked how he felt about Goggins possibly stepping into the role, Sneider said, 'I was a little surprised,' adding, 'I thought he might land something a little bit more prestigious, but at the same time, it's also maybe time to get a nice movie paycheck.' It's not like Goggins isn't in demand. He's been killing it on TV, from his electric turn as Baby Billy Freeman in The Righteous Gemstones , to his haunting performance in Fallout as the Ghoul/Cooper Howard, and his recent arc in The White Lotus . He's also the voice of Cecil Stedman in Amazon's Invincible . Sneider also mentioned that comedian Eric André and masked country artist Orville Peck are being considered for roles as well. André is reportedly up for the part of the ring announcer, an offbeat but solid fit given his chaotic energy. He's also worked with director Kitao Sakurai before on Bad Trip , so there's already a creative working relationship there. As for Peck, he's said to be in talks to play Vega, the claw-wielding, narcissistic Spanish fighter who blends bullfighting and ninjutsu into a deadly style. If that casting sticks, it would be one of the more inspired choices: Vega wears a mask, and so does Peck, whose mysterious, leather-clad persona could translate into something really cool in the movie. Earlier reports from May suggested that Jason Momoa, Roman Reigns, Andrew Koji, and Noah Centineo were all in discussions to join the cast, though no official announcements have been made. It's still early days, but if Goggins does end up playing Bison, it will be interesting to see how he bring the character to life. I imagine it could be something strange, menacing, and a little unhinged. What do you think about this potential casting?

Why Bria Salmena wrote Rags — a raw song about rage and shame — for her 15-year-old self
In a Q interview, the Canadian musician discusses her debut solo album, Big Dog Bria Salmena is a Canadian musician who originally rose to prominence as the frontwoman of the post-punk band Frigs before joining Orville Peck's touring band. Now, she's released her debut solo album, Big Dog. One of its most powerful tracks, Rags, is a raw anthem about rage, shame and shedding the need to accommodate others. Salmena joins guest host Talia Schlanger to talk about the track and how it helped her reclaim her voice after moving to Los Angeles — a city that made her feel like she was in high school again.
