The full cast list for the upcoming Street Fighter live-action movie has finally dropped, and gamers are dissecting every name. With decades of history behind the franchise, faithful representation is critical. These aren’t just characters—they’re legends of the fighting game genre. When fans think of Chun-Li, Guile, or Dhalsim, they don’t just imagine actors, they picture signature moves, iconic designs, and rivalries that have defined esports for years.
Andrew Koji as Ryu
Noah Centineo as Ken Masters
Callina Liang as Chun-Li
Cody Rhodes as Guile
Jason Momoa as Blanka
Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim
Orville Peck as Vega
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog
Olivier Richters as Zangief
Hirooki Goto as E. Honda
David Dastmalchian as M. Bison
Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i as Akuma
Alexander Volkanovski as Joe
Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki
Eric André as Don Sauvage
Mel Jarnson as Cammy
Rayna Vallandingham as Juli
Kyle Mooney as Marvin
The casting choices reflect an effort to match physicality and cultural authenticity. Ryu and Ken look ready to throw down with their signature Hadoukens, while Chun-Li and Cammy bring the fighting spirit fans demand. But gamers will ask the big questions: can these actors move like their characters? Can they deliver a Dragon Punch, a Spinning Bird Kick, or a Flash Kick that feels authentic without looking silly?
Faithfulness to the game’s spirit will make or break this adaptation. Fans still remember past missteps where the cast felt more like caricatures than warriors. Now, with today’s motion-capture, choreography, and stunt teams, this cast has the opportunity to elevate fighting game adaptations. If they nail the look, the moves, and the rivalries, gamers might finally get the Street Fighter film they’ve been waiting for.
