One of the most contentious things about the new Street Fighter movie<\/a> is its portrayal of Cammy<\/a> as a crazed, Harley Quinn-esque character, but this isn\u2019t the first time a live-action version of M. Bison\u2019s Doll has appeared on the big screen. Back in 1994, Australian singer and budding actor Kylie Minogue portrayed a more game-accurate (look, it\u2019s all relative) version of Cammy in the 1994 Street Fighter movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, and from the sound of it, she was in talks to possibly return for some kind of cameo this time around before things fell through.<\/p>\n

In an interview with LGBTQ+ publication Queerty, Orville Peck, the masked country singer who is also getting into acting himself, talked a bit about working on the Street Fighter movie, in which he plays Vega. This is a good role for him because Vega wears his own mask throughout the movie, which is a pretty good arrangement when you\u2019re making your film debut as someone who has, as long as he\u2019s been in the public eye, obscured his face. Peck and Minogue are known friends and collaborators, with the two releasing a song together with Diplo called \u201cMidnight Ride\u201d back in 2024. So when Queerty was interviewing him, they asked if Peck had reached out to her about taking part in the new film and if she had any advice.<\/p>\n

Here, Peck reveals that, at some point in the film\u2019s development, there were talks of having Minogue make a cameo in the movie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay, I got a little tea, actually,\u201d Peck said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if anyone\u2019s mentioned this, but they were trying to get Kylie to do a cameo in our Street Fighter. They were having a hard time getting a hold of her or whatever, and I was like, \u2018Guys, I can text her.\u2019 So, I was trying to orchestrate this whole thing, and it didn\u2019t work out with timing. She was gonna be so down to do it, but yeah, of course, I immediately told Kylie when I got cast. She told me how filming their Street Fighter was one of the most fun experiences of her life, and she was like \u2018I\u2019m so excited for you to get to do that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Cammy\"\u00a9 Capcom <\/p>\n

Though the original idea fell through, Peck says he hasn\u2019t given up hope that Minogue and current Cammy Mel Jarson might cross paths, or that the \u201cCan\u2019t Get You Out of My Head\u201d singer could try again in a hypothetical sequel.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still trying to orchestrate Mel Jarnson and her to be like the two Cammys in a photo [Peck makes a pointing gesture].\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2028\u201cOh, like the Spider-Man meme where they\u2019re pointing at each other?\u201d Queerty\u2019s Cameron Scheetz asks.<\/p>\n

\u201cExactly, yeah,\u201d Peck replies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll manifest that happening somewhere in the future,\u201d Scheetz says.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, maybe the sequel,\u201d Peck says. \u201cWe\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Street Fighter premiered last weekend and brought in about $51 million globally against an $82 million budget. So while it seems likely it will make that budget back, a sequel doesn\u2019t feel guaranteed at this point, despite the film\u2019s ending setting one up<\/a>. Overall, the movie is kind of awful in some ways, but also so committed to its various bits that it somehow comes around to being avant-garde in a way that I can\u2019t help but applaud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the most contentious things about the new Street Fighter movie is its portrayal of Cammy as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":635446,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[156,409,111,139,69,4303],"class_list":["post-635445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-street-fighter"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=635445"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635445\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/635446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=635445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=635445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=635445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
