50 Cent is unrecognizable as a balrog for the film Street Fighter of Action live

Attention to all the players and children of the 90s: your wildest dreams are getting closer and more to become a reality … and we mean wild. Despite representing one of the most popular and most rewards video games that currently exist, it is fair to say that the various live action adaptations of the property of “Street Fighter” have been, in large part a failure. (Although, of course, there are always defenders of titles such as the “street fighter” of 1994. Less said about “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li” of 2009. Callina Liang as the favorite of the Chun-li fans, Jason Momoa as Blanka and many more. The ellus has spent the last months mocking the appearance of their respective characters, but today it brings us one of the reveals more scandalous so far.

Yes, it is none other than the 50 cents on the ring and show us what is cooking with balrog, the African -American boxer that most of those who everyone knows is (freely) stamped after the legend of the boxing and the star of “The Hangover” Mike Tyson. “Street Fighter” is currently filming in Australia with Japanese director Kitao Sakurai taking the reins, which means that the whole has had to be fit to precisely reflect these characters bigger than life. (Stay faithful and accurate for original and incredibly dumb fighting games is very, very very serious businesses, you see.) Right in the signal, 50 Cent has led to social networks (through Yahoo Entertainment) and launched a brief look at his training for Balrog, along with his new quite unrecognizable aspect like the boxer:

“I don’t hope you understand my discipline level, but look at it, it is entertaining.

Say what you want on another video game adaptation bank in nostalgia, but at least “Street Fighter” seems to be giving a massive turn for fences. The interactive and shooting environment seems to have made a concerted effort for the crown that superhero movies have won in recent years, and for a good reason. Shows such as “The Last of Us” and “Fallout” have won the love of legitimate awards, while box office successes such as “A Minecraft movie”, “The Super Mario Bros. movie, the” Sonic “films, and more show that there are incalculable box office gains amounts that hope they are harvested. But” Street Fighter “in particular it seems to be adopted that leans in the inherent nonsense of the source material, and that will surely be music for the ears of many fans.

Of course, Balrog de 50 Cent is not the only important figure involved in this film. The expanding cast also includes characters such as the legend of the WWE Roman Reigns such as Akuma, characters actor David Dastmalchian as the villain M. Bison, Cody Rhodes like Guile Honda, Rayna Vallandham as Juli, Alexander Volkanovski as Joe, Kyle Mooney as Marvin and Mel Jarnson as Cammy. If you remember, the film was originally destined to be directed by Danny’s horror duo and Michael Philippou, although they started from the project to focus on their recent function “brings the return.” It doesn’t matter, since production seems to be in very good hands, since fans everywhere wait with pins and needles to see how this shapes.

“Street Fighter” reaches the streets (ER, theaters) on October 16, 2026.
