*50 Cent and Jason Momoa have dramatically altered their appearances for roles in the upcoming movie “Street Fighter,” set to hit theaters next October.
As The Sun reports, Momoa’s transformation sees him taking on the role of beastly fighter Blanka, while 50 Cent will portray boxer Balrog. In preparation for his role, the rapper-turned-actor revealed he undertook a rigorous fitness regimen. “I don’t expect you to understand my level of discipline but watch it, it’s entertaining,” 50 wrote, sharing a TikTok video of his intense training.
The film, set in 1993, stars Noah Centineo as “Ken Masters,” Andrew Koji as “Ryu,” Callina Liang as “Chun-Li,” Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i as “Akuma,” David Dastmalchian as “M. Bison,” Cody Rhodes as “Guile,” Andrew Schulz as “Dan Hibiki,” and Vidyut Jammwal as “Dhalsim,” and Eric André as “Don Sauvage”.
Paramount Pictures released a synopsis that states: “Set in 1993, estranged Street Fighters Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) are thrown back into combat when the mysterious Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament: a brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury. But behind this battle royale lies a deadly conspiracy that forces them to face off against each other and the demons of their past. And if they don’t, it’s GAME OVER!”
