WWE superstar Cody Rhodes has been officially cast as Guile in the upcoming live-action Street Fighter reboot, which will be directed by Kitao Sakurai and co-produced by Legendary, Sony, and Capcom. The cast includes Jason Momoa as Blanka, Roman Reigns as Akuma, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, Andrew Koji as Ryu, Callina Liang as Chun-Li, Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson as Balrog, and Orville Peck as Vega.
