New artwork for the upcoming Street Fighter reboot film imagines Reacher star Alan Ritchson in a major role.
New fantasy casting for the Street Fighter reboot film imagines Alan Ritchson as the live-action Guile.
After making his debut in the video game series in 1991’s Street Fighter II, Guile has long been a major part of the long-running franchise. The character is known for his military attire, as he’s portrayed as U.S. Air Force major, along with his distinct flat-top haircut.
In the 1994 movie, Guile was played by Jean-Claude Van Damme, essentially serving as the main character. With a reboot film in the works, the popular digital artist BossLogic has been sharing new artwork of various possible castings, and this includes Reacher star Alan Ritchson as Guile.
The art has garnered the approval of many fans, and it can be seen below, attached to another piece of art picturing Jonathan Majors as Balrog.
These days, Alan Ritchson is best known for starring in Reacher, Amazon’s immensely popular series based on Lee Child’s Jack Reacher novels. He can also be recognized by DC fans as Smallville‘s version of Aquaman as well as Hawk in Titans.
Last year, he was seen in the franchise film Fast X. Ritchson will next appear in Guy Ritchie’s new film, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which sees the actor teaming up with Henry Cavill to take on Nazis.
BossLogic has shared several other images of fan art picturing other actors as Street Fighter characters. This includes Florence Pugh as Cammy, Jessica Henwick as Chun-Li, Mackenyu as Ryu, Lucas Till as Ken, and Mads Mikkelsen as M. Bison. He also shared an image of a CGI Blanka, though he noted while sharing the artwork that he’d picture Andy Serkis doing the motion capture.
The Street Fighter Reboot Is in the Works
As for the Street Fighter reboot, the project is in its early stages, and it’s not yet clear if a screenplay has yet been finished. It was reported in April 2023 that a new live-action Street Fighter film would be made by Legendary Entertainment.
Talk to Me co-directors Danny and Michael Philippou are also on board to helm the reboot. The duo previously teased how it’s “very exciting” to take on the franchise, noting how they have “so many original ideas” they want to add to the lore.
No release date has been set for the Street Fighter reboot.
