The live-action Street Fighter cast is growing yet again, with a new report suggesting that a WWE superstar has joined the film as Guile.
Who is playing Guile in the Street Fighter movie?
According to a new report from Nexus Point News, WWE superstar Cody Rhodes is currently in talks to play the role of Guile. Guile first appeared in 1991’s Street Fighter II, and has since become one of the more iconic characters in the franchise. He’s best known for his legendary flat-top hair style, iconic theme song, and his militaristic outfits, as his character is a colonel in the United States Air Force.
Should Rhodes get the role, the former Undisputed WWE Champion would be joining another WWE icon in the movie, as Akuma is rumored to be played by none other than Joe Anoa’i, also known as Roman Reigns.
The cast of the upcoming Street Fighter movie features a star-studded group, including Andrew Koji as Ryu, Callina Liang as Chun-Li, Noah Centineo as Ken, Jason Momoa as Blanka, Roman Reigns as Akuma, Orville Peck as Vega, Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki, and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog.
Production on the film is expected to begin in Australia this coming August. Plot details remain under wraps at this time. Legendary Entertainment is co-developing and co-producing the project alongside Capcom.
A release date for the Street Fighter movie has not yet been set.
