The rest of the World Warriors are just as stacked. WWE’s Cody Rhodes is Guile, Vidyut Jammwal is Dhalsim, Olivier Richters is Zangief and Hirooki Goto is E. Honda. Andrew Schulz plays Dan Hibiki, Eric André is Don Sauvage, Rayna Vallandingham is Juli and UFC fighter Alexander Volkanovski is Joe.
What is the Street Fighter movie about? The story is set in 1993. Ryu and Ken haven’t fought side by side in years, until Chun-Li recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament, a no-holds-barred fighting contest. Behind the tournament hides a deadly conspiracy that forces the two to face each other and the demons of their past.
Legendary promises to bring the fight “from the arcade to the big screen,” complete with hadoukens and roundhouse kicks. For another game adaptation on the way, the live-action Legend of Zelda film opens on April 30, 2027; see our Ocarina of Time page.
