This piece provides fresh insight into the gathering of talent considered for Legendary’s live-action adaptation of the classic fighting game. The project is stirring interest with a notable set of performers reportedly under consideration for pivotal roles.

Reports indicate that among those eyed is an actor renowned for his formidable presence on screen. Alongside him, the list appears to include:

• The lead from Bullet Train
• An emerging star from Warfare
• A celebrated competitor from a major sports entertainment organization

While the specific roles for each individual remain uncertain, the rumour mill suggests that figures like Ryu and Ken could be in the spotlight. At this moment, details about any female cast selections have not been disclosed.

The film is slated to be directed by Kitao Sakurai, although information about the scriptwriter and the co-production details with Capcom is still pending. Interestingly, if confirmed, this project might mark the next video game adaptation venture for one of the actors, who previously participated in a major movie adaptation of a block-building video game, despite his personal stance on screen time for his family.
