Reigns, Rhodes, and Goto Feature in Latest Street Fighter Film Preview
A new trailer for the Street Fighter movie showcases WWE wrestlers Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Hirooki Goto in key roles. The cast also includes Jason Momoa, David Dastmalchian, and 50 Cent. The film is scheduled for release on October 16.
The trailer highlights a crossover between professional wrestling and video game cinema, with Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes appearing prominently alongside NJPW’s Hirooki Goto. Rhodes’ portrayal of Guile is woven through the preview, while brief fight clips tease Reigns as Akuma and Goto as E. Honda, signaling a multi-promotion casting approach.
Beyond the wrestling trio, the film’s ensemble includes Jason Momoa, David Dastmalchian, and 50 Cent, with Andrew Koji and Noah Centineo as Ryu and Ken. The preview leans into the franchise’s fantastical tone, and the movie is set for a U.S. release on October 16.
This casting could broaden the film’s appeal by merging combat sports fanbases with video game audiences, potentially boosting cross-promotional interest in WWE and NJPW. The trailer’s emphasis on recognizable wrestlers may draw casual viewers, but its success likely hinges on balancing spectacle with faithful character portrayal. If well-received, it could encourage more Hollywood projects to feature wrestling talent in mainstream action roles.
