Capcom and Legendary Pictures’ live-action Street Fighter movie is shaping up its cast with the addition of Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog the Boxer, who serves under villain M. Bison.
News of the multi-hyphenate musician comes shortly after another recent Street Fighter addition: Deadline reported earlier this week that Callina Liang (of Steven Soderbergh’s Presence) will star as Chun-Li, an Interpol officer and enemy of Bison and his Shadaloo organization. Both names join a cast that includes the previously revealed Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, Jason Momoa, Roman Reigns, and Orville Peck.
Here’s hoping that the new Street Fighter won’t end up just like its 1994 counterpart, with 50 Cent, Momoa, and Reigns around a bunch of other folk doing victory poses as the credits roll.
Capcom and Legendary’s live-action Street Fighter movie does not have a release date. It was previously scheduled for March 2026, but has been delayed indefinitely.
