Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes are set to appear in a live-action Street Fighter movie. Rhodes will play Guile. Reigns will take on the role of Akuma. Several other cast members will also appear in costume. The film also features Jason Momoa as Blanka.
A few months ago, after the first teaser at The Game Awards, Reigns and Momoa shared a backstage moment, with Momoa joking about the two meeting. Reigns and Rhodes join Momoa and other stars in the cast.
Recently, the former WWE Undisputed Champion explained why Jason Momoa has all the tools to become a WWE star.
Roman Reigns says Jason Momoa would be ‘great’ in WWE
Speaking on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Reigns said Momoa has great energy and personality. He said, “Oh, he’s the man, unfortunately, he wasn’t down in Sydney where we were shooting, and when I finally saw him at the awards show that we presented at, you could tell he had the FOMO.”
“Like, he had just been missing out. You know what I mean? And he’s just such a nice dude, a good brother. And he brought this crazy energy. Guinness in hand. Once we knocked it out, it was just a good time to hang.”
He also joked about Momoa joining WWE. “When I’m done, Jason, it’s all yours.” Reigns said Momoa has the right look and charisma. “I think he would be great, to be honest. He’s got, obviously, all the tools, physically. He has a great charisma about him. If you’ve been around him yeah and he’s eccentric. He’s a little bit different. So I think he would fit in good with us, for sure.”
Street Fighter live action is set to release in theaters on October 16, 2026.
