50 Cent Joins "Street Fighter" Movie

Yara Sameh Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson is the latest addition to the eclectic cast of "Street Fighter", Legendary Entertainment's feature adaptation of the classic Capcom video game. The call sheet ranges from A-lister Jason Momoa as Blanka to heartthrob Noah Centineo as Ken to country singer Orville Peck as Vega and Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki. Joe Anoa'i, aka WWE superstar Roman Reign, and martial artist-actor Andrew Koji (Warrior) are on the roll call as battler Akuma and lead character Ryu, respectively. Callina Liang (Presence) is playing Chun-Li. The rapper turned actor and entrepreneur will play Balrog, a disgraced boxer who is also the bodyguard of the villain. Sources say Jackson is deep into training for the part and will be doing his stunts for the adaptation. Kitao Sakurai (The Eric Andre Show) is directing the feature, which begins production in August in Australia. Legendary is co-developing and co-producing alongside Capcom. While the film's plot remains under wraps, Street Fighter, launched in 1987, is a series of fighting games revolving around intense one-on-one battles between martial artists. The games are often centered around a global fighting tournament organized by M. Bison, the leader of the evil organization Shadaloo. Street Fighter has sold over 55 million units worldwide since its launch, making it one of the most well-known and highest-grossing video game franchises of all time. The Grammy-winning Jackson, who has sold over 30 million albums, is known in Hollywood circles for his TV empire fueled by the various Power series for Starz. His G-Unit Film & Television also produced ABC's For Life and recently completed production on season four of "Black Mafia" Family for Starz, along with season two of the Black Mafia Family docuseries. In 2024, Jackson partnered with Lionsgate to launch 50 Cent Action, a FAST channel that has since been named the No. 1 action channel on Roku and LG FAST platforms. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
