Andrew Schultz.

50 Cent.

Some Wraaaassslers.

Eric Andre.

Yeah, it's safe to say this isn't setting itself up for an Oscar run. However, if, big IF, it has the self awareness to lean into the campy, overblown, silly, unseriousness of what Street Fighter essentially is, it could be quite entertaining. Looking at the Director's previous efforts, there is hope that this knows what it should be aiming for.

I suspect that Volkanovski will be the only "actor" that gets things right. He's got a fantastic self-effacing sense of humour and timing. Won't get much screen time, but expect he'll deliver.

To be fair, David Dastmalchian is easily the best casting of the whole movie and a worthy successor to Julia.

The rest looks pretty as you were.

The only problem with him is that stood next to everyone else in the film, he's the comparative physical threat of a beached jellyfish.

M. Bison is a physical monster, Dastmalchian looks like he was kicked out of My Chemical Romance for being too much of pansy.

There’s time. Dastmalchian will do his bit.

Mona Kimura is often dubbed "real life Chun Lee" because of the way she uses kicks, but I guess kickboxing is not what you're after

As someone who plays Street Fighter 6 now and again, I stare at Chun Li's thighs like some deranged fetishist.

It's not the most niche thing I've experienced, so why not.
