The upcoming Street Fighter movie adaptation has the first star names - Andrew Koji and Noah Centineo are in talks to play the roles of the iconic fighters Ryu and Ken.

Who will play the main characters?

In early news, Andrew Koji (Warrior, Snake Eyes) is said to be negotiating for the role of Ryu — the stoic warrior who dedicated his entire life to the pursuit of martial arts study. His acting experience, as well as his physical conditioning, makes him a prime candidate for the role.

Noah Centineo (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, Black Adam) is being considered for the role of Ken Masters. His charisma and high energy suit the fiery American fighter, who is both a friend and rival to Ryu.

• The project is being developed by Legendary Entertainment
• The director will be Kitao Sakurai (The Eric Andre Show).
• Capcom is heavily involved in the script development and has creative control.
•  Filming is scheduled to begin in fall 2025 in Atlanta.
