The long-awaited Street Fighter (2026) live-action movie has officially dropped its full cast list, and fans are losing their minds. From martial-arts icons to WWE powerhouses, surprise comedians, and even music superstars, the lineup is one of the boldest casting decisions Hollywood has made in years.
Set for an October 2026 release, this reboot promises to deliver a loud, stylish, high-impact take on Capcom’s legendary fighting franchise — and judging by the cast alone, this film looks ready to Hadouken its way back onto the big screen.
Meet the Full Street Fighter 2026 Cast
Here’s the complete confirmed lineup — and why fans are buzzing about each choice.
🥋 Andrew Koji as Ryu
A fan-favorite pick. Known for Warrior, Koji brings the perfect mix of stoicism, martial artistry, and emotional depth. He already looks like he was born holding a Hadouken.
🔥 Noah Centineo as Ken Masters
A surprising but interesting choice. Centineo’s charm and physicality could make him a standout — if he nails Ken’s iconic cocky energy.
🌸 Callina Liang as Chun-Li
A rising star known for her precision and athleticism. Fans immediately praised her casting, with many calling her “the most accurate Chun-Li in years.”
🇺🇸 Cody Rhodes as Guile
WWE’s American Nightmare is now America’s Sonic Boom machine. Rhodes’ look and attitude fit shockingly well — if he yells “Go home and be a family man,” the internet may explode.
💚 Jason Momoa as Blanka
Yes, it’s real. Momoa playing a wild, genetically altered jungle fighter is exactly the chaotic energy we didn’t know we needed.
🎤 50 Cent as Balrog
One of the boldest choices of the film. Expect heavy punches, heavier one-liners, and maybe even a new theme song.
😈 Roman Reigns as Akuma
“The Tribal Chief” entering the battlefield as Akuma feels like destiny. If Reigns whispers “you acknowledge the Satsui no Hado”, it’s over.
🧘♂️ Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim
A world-class martial artist with mind-blowing flexibility and movement — fans are calling this “perfect casting.”
💪 Olivier Richters as Zangief
The 7’2” bodybuilder known as “The Dutch Giant” brings an actual Zangief physique to the movie.
🎭 Orville Peck as Vega
The masked singer as the masked narcissist? Genius.
🥋 Hirooki Goto as E. Honda
A respected Japanese wrestler bringing authentic sumo energy to the screen.
🧠 David Dastmalchian as M. Bison
One of Hollywood’s best character actors playing one of gaming’s most iconic villains = chef’s kiss.
😂 Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki
Internet comedians are already celebrating this one. Expect memes. Much memes.
🎖️ Mel Jarnson as Cammy
Fans love her look and stunt background — Cammy’s moves may look incredibly accurate.
🥷 Rayna Vallandingham as Juli
A world champion martial artist known for her insane kicks — Juli is about to steal some scenes.
🥊 Alexander Volkanovski as Joe
The UFC legend making a cameo as one of Street Fighter’s earliest fighters? Unexpected but awesome.
🤪 Eric André as Don Sauvage
A completely original character — and with Eric André involved, chaos is guaranteed.
🤓 Kyle Mooney as Marvin
Another wild card role that has fans curious — Mooney tends to shine in quirky side-character roles.
Why Fans Are Calling This Cast “Unhinged in the Best Way”
This movie doesn’t just feature traditional actors — it pulls talent from:
- Hollywood action cinema
- WWE & pro wrestling
- UFC & MMA
- Comedy
- Music
- Real martial arts circuits
The result? A cast that mirrors the wild, unpredictable, rule-breaking energy of the Street Fighter games themselves.
Fans say the movie feels like it’s embracing the franchise’s identity rather than trying to “Hollywood-wash” it.
Early Rumors Making Fans Even More Hyped
While unconfirmed, insiders are teasing:
✔ Practical stunts over CGI
Koji, Jammwal, and Jarnson are doing 80–90% of their own combat scenes.
✔ Akuma vs. Ryu will be the emotional core
Insiders say the final fight is “massive.”
✔ Blanka’s design will use hybrid practical makeup + CGI
Fans are relieved it won’t be 100% CGI like some previous adaptations.
✔ A Post-Credits tease for Street Fighter II villains
Sagat, Juni, and maybe even Gill could appear.

Past Street Fighter films have… struggled.
This reboot reportedly focuses on:

Producers said they want to make a movie that:
“Feels like you’re watching the game come to life, not a generic action script.”
That’s exactly what fans want to hear.
