The three leading fighters
Andrew Koji as Ryu
Ryu is the disciplined wanderer at the center of Street Fighter's martial-arts identity. Paramount places him in an estranged friendship with Ken before Chun-Li calls both men back to combat. Read the Ryu guide
Noah Centineo as Ken Masters
Ken shares Ryu's training but expresses it with greater speed, confidence and showmanship. The official synopsis suggests their damaged relationship is central to the movie. Read the Ken guide
Callina Liang as Chun-Li
Chun-Li recruits the pair for the tournament, giving her an active role in setting the plot in motion. Her established opposition to Bison provides important game context, but the movie has not revealed her full motive. Read the Chun-Li guide
Villains and dangerous wild cards
David Dastmalchian as M. Bison
Bison is traditionally the head of Shadaloo. The synopsis confirms a conspiracy but does not explicitly name its architect. M. Bison explained
Roman Reigns as Akuma
Akuma belongs to Ryu's martial lineage and pursues strength through the destructive Satsui no Hado. He should not automatically be treated as Bison's subordinate. Akuma explained
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog
The former champion boxer is usually connected to Shadaloo, but his movie allegiance remains unrevealed. Balrog explained
Tournament fighters
Jason Momoa as Blanka
Blanka's electrical attacks and rolling movement make him one of the adaptation's clearest visual tests. Blanka explained
Cody Rhodes as Guile
Guile brings a military connection and a long-running motivation involving Charlie Nash. This movie does not place him at the center in the way the 1994 film did. Guile explained
Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim
Dhalsim balances spectacular stretching and fire abilities with a traditionally peaceful personality. Dhalsim explained
Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki
Dan is the franchise's sincere parody fighter. His inclusion is deliberately anachronistic: the movie is set in 1993, two years before Dan's first game appearance. Dan explained
Additional announced ensemble
Capcom's production announcement also names Orville Peck, Olivier Richters, Hirooki Goto, Rayna Vallandingham, Alexander Volkanovski, Kyle Mooney and Mélanie Jarnson. Cast promotion has associated several of them with Vega, Zangief, E. Honda, Juli and Cammy.
| Performer | Publicly associated role/status |
|---|---|
| Eric André | Don Sauvage |
| Rayna Vallandingham | Juli (reported through ensemble promotion) |
| Alexander Volkanovski | Role not detailed in Paramount synopsis |
| Kyle Mooney | Role not detailed in Paramount synopsis |
| Orville Peck | Vega |
| Olivier Richters | Zangief |
| Hirooki Goto | E. Honda |
| Mélanie Jarnson | Cammy |
Eric André is listed by Paramount as Don Sauvage. Because Don is not a familiar playable fighter from the classic roster, his presence could be original to the movie; the official page does not describe him further.
How we label cast information
“Confirmed cast” can mean that a performer is attached, that a role has been assigned by the studio, or that a promotional event has revealed the pairing. Those are not identical. We prioritize Paramount and Capcom, note when a supporting-role pairing comes from later promotion, and avoid converting fan theories into casting news.
