The upcoming Street Fighter film is shaping up to be a big one, with Hollywood hunk Jason Momoa and WWE superstar Roman Reigns among the stars joining the cast.
According to DeadHollywood is now giving video game movies more care than ever, especially after the success of The Last of Us. With the Narnia reboot in the works, fans of fantasy and action are excited to see what’s next and Street Fighter might be the next big thing.
Jason Momoa, who recently starred in the hit Minecraft Movie, will take on a key role in the new Street Fighter film. Momoa has previously shared that his favourite characters in the game were Ryu and Blanka, leading many to think he might play Blanka.
With his size and strength, Momoa could easily bring the wild and powerful fighter to life, especially with CGI or prosthetics. This is another major role for Momoa, who continues to shine in action films, including his recent appearance in Aquaman.
