Street Fighter Movie Cast Announced
By: Howard Brown
Capcom has revealed the first five members of the cast for the upcoming Street Fighter live-action movie. Topping the list and playing the lead role of everyone’s favorite videogame brawling vixen, Chun-Li, is Kristen Kreuk (Lana Lang of Smallville). Balrog will be played by the big man himself, Michael Clarke Duncan (The Green Mile, Sin City, Daredevil). M. Bison will be played by Neal McDonough (The Hitcher, Minority Report, The Guardian). Guile’s partner in crime, Charlie Nash will be portrayed by Chris Klein (American Pie). Perhaps the biggest surprise in the announcement was that Vega will be played by none other than Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas. He certainly has the height and stature, but can the man act? We’ll just have to see.
The film will be distributed by 20th Century Fox and is currently scheduled for a 2009 worldwide release.
