Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is taking it to the street.
The rapper-turned-actor and entrepreneur has joined the eclectic cast of Street Fighter, Legendary Entertainment’s feature adaptation of the classic Capcom video game.
And what a diverse bunch it is. The call sheet ranges from A-lister Jason Momoa as Blanka to heartthrob Noah Centineo as Ken to gay country singer Orville Peck as Vega.
Joe Anoa’i, aka WME superstar Roman Reign, and martial artist-actor Andrew Koji (Warrior), are on the roll call as battler Akuma and lead character Ryu, respectively. Callina Liang (Presence) is playing Chun-Li
Jackson will play Balrog, a disgraced boxer who is also the bodyguard of the villain. Sources say he is deep into training for the part and will be doing his own stunts for the picture.
Legendary had no comment.
Kitao Sakuri (The Eric Andre Show) is directing the feature, which begins production in August in Australia. Legendary is co-developing and co-producing alongside Capcom.
Plot details are being kept in under wraps.
