First Look at Noah Centineo as Ken Masters in Upcoming Street Fighter Film

New behind-the-scenes images from the live-action Street Fighter movie have surfaced, offering fans their first glimpse of Noah Centineo in character as Ken Masters. Set against a backdrop that promises to blend elements from both Street Fighter II and Street Fighter Alpha, these photos reveal Centineo sporting Ken's trademark blonde hair, fueling speculation about the film's direction.

Following a preliminary silhouette reveal of WWE Champion Cody Rhodes as Guile, the latest images have intensified interest. The cast also includes comedian Andrew Schulz portraying Dan Hibiki, while 50 Cent, though not in Balrog's signature boxing attire, is also part of the ensemble. Initial fan concerns regarding Centineo's resemblance to the character have seemingly been allayed, as many observers note he resembles Ken from Street Fighter Alpha more closely than anticipated.

In addition to Centineo and Rhodes, the film will feature Andrew Koji as Ryu and Jason Momoa in a role that has not yet been officially confirmed, but speculation suggests he may be playing Blanka. WWE star Roman Reigns is reportedly set to portray the antagonist Akuma, a pivotal character in the series. Other cast members include Callina Liang as Chun-Li, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, and Orville Peck as Vega.

The Street Fighter franchise has a storied history in the world of gaming, yet its adaptations to film have struggled to earn positive receptions, with memorable missteps in the past. The 1994 version featuring Jean-Claude Van Damme has achieved a cult status, while the 2009 adaptation is typically cited as a failure. As the film nears its release date of March 20, 2026, anticipation is mixed, particularly regarding casting choices that have elicited varied reactions from the fanbase.

Directed by Kitao Sakurai, who has gained recognition for his work on The Eric Andre Show and the upcoming Amazon series Butterfly, this latest adaptation hopes to redefine the franchise's cinematic legacy.
