Jason Momoa, Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji, Roman Reigns Eyed for Legendary's "Street Fighter"
Yara Sameh
Jason Momoa (A Minecraft Movie), Noah Centineo (Warfare), Andrew Koji (Bullet Train), and Roman Reigns (Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw) are in negotiations to star in Legendary's live-action Street Fighter movie, based on the Capcom video games.
In February, Bad Trip's Kitao Sakurai boarded as director, inheriting the project from Talk To Me's Danny & Michael Philippou, who attached themselves in April of 2023, following Legendary's acquisition of exclusive film and TV rights to the Street Fighter IP.
The film adaptation is being co-developed and co-produced alongside Capcom, the developer and publisher of the video games. No word has emerged yet on who has written and who specifically will produce the actioner.
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.
The games often center around a global fighting tournament organized by M. Bison, the leader of the evil organization Shadaloo.
Street Fighter has sold over 55 million units worldwide since its launch, making it one of the most well-known and highest-grossing video game franchises of all time.
Coming off of Warner Bros and Legendary's phenomenon "A Minecraft Movie", which is approaching $1B at the global box office, Momoa will next be seen starring in Apple's miniseries "Chief of War", out August 1, and Legendary's live action/animated road trip adventure "Animal Friends", out October 10. Other upcoming projects include "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" (where he plays Lobo), "Dune: Messiah" (where he reprises as Duncan Idaho), and action comedy "The Wrecking Crew" opposite Dave Bautista, to name just a few.
Most recently seen starring in A24's intensely immersive "Warfare", from Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza, as well as Netflix's spy series "The Recruit".
A pro wrestler born Leati Joseph Anoa'i with one of the longest world title reigns in the history of the WWE, Reigns has previously made appearances in films like "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw" and "The Wrong Missy".
Known for roles on the series "Warrior" and "Gangs of London", as well as films like "Bullet Train" and "Boy Kills World", Koji will next be seen starring in the Tubi Original "Worth the Wait" and Prime Video heist series "Haven", among other projects.
