News - Street Fighter Movie Adds Dan And Balrog Actors, Confirms Akuma Casting - Rep
<p>The new Street Fighter movie has added a few more names to the cast. Earlier this week, rapper-turned-actor Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/50-cent-certainly-seems-like-hes-joining-street-fighter-movie-as-a-beloved-character/1100-6532707/">teased that he will play Balrog</a> in the film. That rumor now appears to be confirmed, and another performer has signed up to play Dan Hibiki, one of the weakest fighters in the Street Fighter universe.</p><p>According to <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/06/street-fighter-movie-andrew-schulz-1236443980/">Deadline</a>, comedian Andrew Schulz will play Dan in the film. That's appropriate, since Dan is largely a comic relief character who gets played for laughs. This will mark Dan's first-ever appearance in live-action media. Schulz has previously appeared in The Underdoggs and the remake of White Men Can’t Jump, as well as Netflix's sitcom Tires. He is also the host of Flagrant Pod, a popular comedy podcast, and his most recent comedy special was streamed on Netflix.</p><p>Jackson's casting as Balrog was confirmed in a subsequent report by <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/street-fighter-curtis-50-cent-jackson-1236299350/">The Hollywood Reporter</a>. THR went a step further by confirming the roles of a few previously cast actors including Andrew Koji as Ryu, Noah Centineo as Ken, Jason Momoa as Blanka, and Orville Peck as Vega. Additionally, the outlet notes that <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-street-fighter-movie-could-star-the-greatest-wwe-champion-of-all-time/1100-6531719/">Joe "Roman Reigns" Anoa’i</a>, a longtime WWE superstar and former World Champion, will play Akuma, one of the film's primary villains.</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/street-fighter-movie-adds-dan-and-balrog-actors-confirms-akuma-casting-report/1100-6532779/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
