Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson steps into the ring as Balrog in 'Street Fighter'
Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson will join Jason Momoa and Noah Centineo in "Street Fighter". Image: Instagram. Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is stepping into the iconic world of "Street Fighter", the live-action adaptation of the popular Capcom video game. The rapper-turned-actor and businessman has been cast as Balrog, a disgraced boxer and bodyguard to the film's villain. Joining Jackson in this star-studded ensemble are WWE superstar Joe Anoa'i, better known as Roman Reigns, who will portray the fearsome battler Akuma and martial artist Andrew Koji, celebrated for his role in "Warrior", taking on the lead character Ryu. Rounding out the cast is Callina Liang, who will play Chun-Li, Jason Momoa as Blanka, heartthrob Noah Centineo as Ken and country singer Orville Peck as Vega. As Jackson prepares for his role as Balrog, online reports indicate that he is fully committed to the character, engaging in extensive training and performing his own stunts. The hip hop mogul, known for his rigorous work ethic, took to Instagram celebrating his new role with the post, 'No Days off, Let's work all roads lead to Shreveport Boom.' Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading The film, directed by Kitao Sakurai of The Eric Andre Show, began production in August in Australia, with the collaboration of Legendary Entertainment and Capcom promising a fresh take on the classic franchise. The details of the film's plot remain tightly under wraps, keeping both diehard fans and newcomers to the franchise guessing. "Street Fighter", originally launched as an arcade game in 1987, quickly ascended to pop culture prestige with the release of "Street Fighter II" in 1991, which revolutionised one-on-one gaming. The latest entry, "Street Fighter 6", debuted in June 2023, garnering acclaim as the best fighting game from the Game Awards. Jackson's thriving Hollywood career includes more than just his comeback to the big screen. He is known for his success as a producer on "Power", and he's also been busy with several projects, including upcoming films like "SkillHouse" and "Free Agents". Meanwhile, "Street Fighter" has attracted attention not only for its casting but also for its potential to rectify the missteps of the past. Fans yearn for a true portrayal of the series after the 1994 adaptation, which starred Jean-Claude Van Damme and was a commercial and critical failure. With an ensemble that features A-listers, hopes are high that this adaptation can encapsulate the spirit and thrill of the franchise. The film is slated for release on March 20, 2026.

The top 5 game announcements from Xbox Games Showcase 2025
Here are the top five most intriguing game reveals from the 2025 Xbox Games Showcase, including fan-favourite studios delivering survival horror, hard sci-fi and kooky, charming adventure. Along with the Summer Game Fest show, arguably the most high-profile stream of the former E3 exhibition period is the Xbox Games Showcase, typically paired with a developer deep dive into one of Xbox's biggest upcoming games. In the case of the latter, this year's Direct was split between two Obsidian games: the already announced sci-fi RPG The Outer Worlds 2 (set for release on 29 October this year), and the surprise reveal of co-op adventure sequel Grounded 2 (Think Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: The Game), which enters Early Access next month, from 29 July. You can watch the full two-hour Xbox Showcase and Direct double, or read a thorough summary of the various announcements here. What you'll find below is a singling out, on the basis of personal preference, of the top five most intriguing game announcements from the event. Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Out of nowhere, we got a reveal trailer for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, from Asobo Studio and Focus Entertainment. Amicia and Hugo's story is done, but action-adventure Resonance shifts the spotlight onto one of their Requiem allies, the smuggler Sophia. Set 15 years before the events of the last game, Resonance follows Sophia as she journeys to the Minotaur's Island, overcoming deadly trials, puzzles and a relentless army as she uncovers ancient secrets, and a curse that has a powerful connection to her. Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy comes to Xbox Series consoles, PC and PlayStation 5 in 2026. It's also going to be a day one Game Pass release. Still talking sequels and fresh franchise additions, charming puzzle platformer Planet of Lana is getting a follow-up in 2026 (for all gaming platforms), and future-set military shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 was teased. Blops 7 is out later this year, apparently (on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC). Both titles will be immediately playable with Game Pass. Cronos: The New Dawn Fresh off their success with Silent Hill 2 's remake, Bloober Team, the same developer behind the likes of Layers of Fear and The Medium is back in survival horror territory with Cronos: The New Dawn — which we can probably consider their Dead Space. You play as the Traveller, sent by the mysterious Collective to salvage what remains of humanity. That means harnessing a time travel mechanic that can transport you to 1980s Poland, among other things, as well as facing the monstrous Orphans, creatures that can fuse together to create even deadlier foes. Revealed last October, Cronos: The New Dawn is out this northern hemisphere autumn, coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. On matters of horror, special shoutout to Bandai Namco and Rebel Wolves ' already announced The Blood of Dawnwalker, a Witcher-esque pitch-black fantasy out in 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Dawnwalker received a new gameplay trailer during the Xbox Showcase. Aphelion Keeping things space-centred, but with more of a hard sci-fi angle (it's made in collaboration with the European Space Agency), is Aphelion. From Life is Strange makers DON'T NOD, this narrative-driven adventure seems to be taking a cue from the studio's 2024 releases, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden and Jusant, in that you're exploring and delving into the mysteries of a hostile world. In this case, you're astronaut Ariane, trying to reach your wounded partner Thomas on Persephone, a frozen ninth planet discovered on the edge of our solar system. The game promises a cinematic experience with traversal and stealth gameplay. Aphelion comes to Xbox Series X|S, PC, PS5, and Game Pass in 2026. Keeper It's been four years since the release of Psychonauts 2, and now we know what's next from Double Fine Productions. With Stacking project lead and Brutal Legends art director Lee Petty driving development, Keeper is described as a 'beautiful and surreal third-person, atmospheric puzzle adventure… told without words'. Players take control of a battered lighthouse (yes, a lighthouse) that awakens in a post-human world and totters off across the island with a seabird companion. The lighthouse's beam and the bird's agility will be key tools in completing their odyssey. Keeper is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PC on 17 October this year. You'll also be able to play it day one with Game Pass. There Are No Ghosts at the Grand Finally, there's the genre-spanning and completely unpredictable There Are No Ghosts at The Grand, the debut title from indie developers Friday Sundae. By day, you'll be restoring the dilapidated English hotel you inherited from your estranged father, and exploring the local seaside village with its many secretive inhabitants. By night, though, you'll be facing supernatural threats with the aid of a sassy talking cat. Either way, There Are No Ghosts at The Grand is a kooky, cosy blend of mystery, music, and environmental puzzles with an in-game deadline of 30 days and nights. There Are No Ghosts at The Grand releases in 2026 for PC and Xbox Series X|S. It's also a day one release with Game Pass. DM
