Funnily enough, although the 1994 Street Fighter movie would sport some pretty iconic character designs like Blanka\u2019s green skin and orange hair or M. Bison\u2019s full red leather suit with cape, it was still grounded in most areas and even Colonel Guile\u2019s signature wide flat top was downgraded to Van Damme sort of spiking up his hair. It still made sense, and it\u2019s hard to find purists who specifically demanded Guile\u2019s hair to resemble the source material, but the upcoming Street Fighter adaptation looks to be a whole new ballgame.<\/p>\n
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li would try hard to make the video game even more grounded with very little resembling the game, but we now have a sneak peek at what WWE superstar Cody Rhodes will look like as the character, courtesy of Andrew Schulz on Instagram (by way of WrestlePurists<\/a> on X). In the behind-the-scenes picture, we see only a shadow of Rhodes on the ground (with a little tease of his camouflage pants in the foreground and the silhouette sports a pretty pronounced flat top hairstyle. This gives us an idea of just how faithful this new incarnation will attempt to be. <\/p>\n Street Fighter\u00a0has been filling out its ranks rather furiously, with the cast currently consisting of Andrew Koji as\u00a0Ryu<\/a>, Noah Centineo as Ken, Callina Liang as\u00a0Chun-Li<\/a>, David Dastmalchian as\u00a0M. Bison<\/a>, Cody Rhodes as Guile, Jason Momoa as Blanka, Curtis \u201c50 Cent\u201d Jackson as\u00a0Balrog<\/a>, Orville Peck as Vega, Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki, Roman Reigns as Akuma, and Hirooki Goto as E. Honda.<\/p>\n The film was originally slated to be directed by Danny and Michael Philippou (Talk to Me), but the pair later\u00a0dropped out<\/a>\u00a0due to scheduling issues. Kitao Sakurai (Bad Trip) will now direct the film from a script by Dalan Musson (Captain America: Brave New World).<\/p>\n
