Street Fighter (2026) is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about video game adaptations in years, bringing Capcom’s legendary franchise back to the big screen with a bold reboot. Set for release in 2026, the film promises a grittier tone, larger-than-life fights, and a cast designed to appeal to both longtime fans and new audiences.
One of the standout casting choices is 50 Cent as Balrog, the ruthless heavyweight boxer and enforcer of the Street Fighter universe. Known for his intimidating presence and crossover success in film and television, 50 Cent looks like a natural fit for the power-punching villain, adding real-world toughness to the iconic character.
Early footage and promotional material tease Balrog’s raw boxing style, brute strength, and no-nonsense attitude, all of which align closely with 50 Cent’s on-screen persona. Fans have already begun buzzing online about how his physicality could translate into some of the movie’s most brutal fight scenes.
In his latest social media post, 50 Cent promises that he will get Eminem to do a soundtrack for the movie: “I’m gonna get @eminem on deck to make some music for this movie Street Fighter. New Music on the way!” said Fif. You can check the trailer of the movie below:
