The story might be set in 1993, a nod to the yr Avenue Fighter II was launched in arcades, and can have acquainted characters from the sport uncovering “a lethal conspiracy” within the midst of all their road combating.
It appears protected to anticipate a good bit of camp in a Avenue Fighter undertaking, and that bears out in among the casting. Andrew Koji will play Ryu; he is had a number of previous motion roles corresponding to Bullet Practice and TV collection Warrior, in order that appears like a stable selection. Noah Centineo is taking a break from his work in Netflix rom-coms (notably To All of the Boys I’ve Beloved Earlier than and its sequels) to play Ken. Newcomer Callina Liang, who solely has a number of credit to this point, will play Chun-li. David Dastmalchian might be filling the good Raul Julia’s footwear (and outsized hat) as M. Bison.
Then issues actually get wacky. Curtis Jackson (who you already know as rapper 50 Cent) is taking part in Balrog and nation artist Orville Peck is Vega.
