by

It came as no shock that the Minecraft Film became one of the most significant cinematic happenings of the year.

Over the past couple of months, the movie version of the popular video game has earned almost a billion dollars at the cinema, making it another successful example of bringing games to life on the silver screen.

It seems that one of the prominent actors is planning to continue their journey in the world of video games, as they are rumored to take on a role in an upcoming Street Fighter remake.

In case you were asked to select a Minecraft Movie star who should join the Street Fighter movie cast, your choice would undeniably be Jason Momoa, and you’d be absolutely correct!

Based on Deadline’s report, it appears that a Game of Thrones actor is supposedly planning to team up with wrestler-actor Roman Reigns, along with Andrew Koji (from Bullet Train) and Noah Centineo (Warfare). At this point, all four actors are reportedly engaged in discussions about the project.

Reportedly, there’s a collaboration underway between Capcom, the creator of Street Fighter, and Legendary Pictures, with this project potentially being the newest interpretation of the renowned fighting game franchise on the big screen.

Without a doubt, one of the standout movies is 1994’s Street Fighter, featuring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Kylie Minogue and Raúl Juliá. Despite receiving harsh criticism from nearly all critics, it managed to rake in an impressive $100 million at the box office.

Street Fighter from 1994, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Kylie Minogue and Raúl Juliá, is definitely one of the more memorable films. Despite being generally criticized by movie reviewers, it grossed a substantial $100 million at the box office.

Throughout this year, several high-profile movie versions of video games have been announced, such as Split Fiction, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and a film based on the classic Sega arcade game OutRun featuring actress Sydney Sweeney.

Without a doubt, the most significant project under development at the moment is a movie adaptation of “The Legend of Zelda,” slated for a 2027 release. Meanwhile, television enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting updates regarding “The Last of Us” season 3.

Regardless of past issues with turning video games into films, the more recent attempts seem to be correcting those mistakes.

As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but wonder: Will the new Street Fighter movie live up to expectations? Frankly, it might not, but considering the track record of past Street Fighter adaptations, it’s not like we’ve been blown away before.
