Action-Adventure Legendary/Paramount/Capcoms’ Street Fighter film

Also Milla Jovavich is popping up in here somewhere.
 
What MAGA idiot is funding this project?
Honestly, I have no idea.

As much as I dislike how he ran 20th Century Fox, Tom Rothman is a Democrat and staunchly anti-Trump, even so far as to sue Trump for trying to have him removed from the board of the CPB, which also came around the same time that the executive order was signed into law to defund NPR and PBS and any branch under CPB for promoting liberal bias. Maybe that has something to do with it, although the CPB has more to do with the broadcasting and telecommunication side of things. Could be a case of it being used to strong arm Sony into hiring more white actors.

Also worth noting, the current director was hired about a month after Trump got into office and casting and everything started kicking off a few months later on May 21st, not even a month after executive order was signed. Also, don’t forget the removal of DEI policies that was signed into law on January 21st, which could also explain the weird casting situation.

It’s probably just coincidence, but the timing seems a little sus. I don’t know. Maybe I’m seeing things that aren’t there.
 
I’m not a Street Fighter person, so forgive me for speaking out of turn, but is this the first piece of casting that’s like… actually exciting?

Bc after 50 Cent and Roman Reigns… Dastmalchian might as well be an Oscar winner.
Is this what they call look better by comparison? :o
 
I just wanna know who Goggins is playing now, because I thought he would’ve been Bison.
 
They are going to go all in on wrestlers, huh....

Nothing will beat my last wrestler jump scare.

So who's Gina Carano going to play?
 
And watch, Zangief will be played by a non-wrestler.
 
a few of the casting in this is like "cool, that's a good pick", the rest makes me think this is going to be some kind of comedy. or a trainwreck.

i guess i can always just go back to watching some of the animes and assassin's fist :cool:

I wanted Alan Ritchson! Bummer!
He looks more like Guile than Van Damme did, but can he do a Flash Kick?

As for Dastmalchian as M. Bison, probably the first casting after Andrew Koji as Ryu that really gets my attention. Obviously Raul Julia is an incredibly hard act to follow (say what you will about the 1994 movie, but Julia was clearly giving it his all and is easily the best part of that film), but Dastmalchian is a good actor.
