The upcoming 2026 Street Fighter live-action film features rapper and actor 50 Cent as Balrog, a character inspired by Mike Tyson known for his menacing boxing style. 50 Cent has been sharing intense training videos and has adopted Balrog's iconic multi-widow's peak hairstyle to closely match the video game character's look, demonstrating his dedication to the role. The film boasts a star-studded ensemble including Jason Momoa, Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji, Callina Liang, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes, with production underway in Australia under director Kitao Sakurai.

This iteration seeks to improve on previous less successful Street Fighter films by emphasizing accurate casting and character portrayal. Despite some mixed reactions to casting choices, early visuals and 50 Cent's commitment have garnered attention and anticipation for the film's release.
