This movie SUCKED and let's be honest, a good anime movie just doesn't cut it. So with no further words, here is my fantasy cast for a Street Figher-Alpha movie. I haven't included EVERY single character in the Street Figher universe. I mean hey, they can always make sequels!
Main Story Characters
RYU
The central character in the Street Fighter universe. A wandering warrior from Japan who cares only about training and facing the best fighters across the globe. As a teenager, Ryu defeated the world-champion Sagat in his home country of Thailand. Ryu is generally a loner and his only friend is his American friend Ken Masters.
Actor: Daniel Henney (Hawaii 5-0, Wolverine)
KEN MASTERS
Ryu's childhood friend and training partner. Ken's Shotokan style is identical to his partner's, except more impatient and flamboyant. Born into one of the richest families in the world, Ken has managed to beat every opponent in his path save only two: the former world-champion Sagat and of course, his best friend Ryu.
Actor: Garrett Hedlund (Tron:Legacy, Alexander)
CHUN LI
Actress: Mai Linh (Die Hard 4, Priest)
Chun Li is the third most prominent character in the Street Fighter universe. Hailing from China, Chun Li constantly finds herself entangled in the adventures of Ken and Ryu over the years.
AKUMA
Actor: Hiroyuki Sanada (Last Samurai, Rush Hour 3)
Akuma is responsible for the death of Ken and Ryu's beloved master. Akuma is literally the opposite side of the coin as Ken and Ryu. He is everything that is evil about the Shotokan way. Every step Ryu takes on his path to Shotokon mastery, he risks becoming Akuma itself. His focus is entirely on killing Ryu and proving himself the ultimate warrior.
SUPPORTING CHARACTERS
SAGAT
Sagat was once the undefeated world champion and the fighting pride of his country of Thailand. All of that came crashing down when he was humiliated in battle by a young fighter from Japan named Ryu. The large scar upon Sagat's chest, compliments of Ryu, is a constant reminder of his failures. Sagat is motivated only by the notion of re-challenging Ryu and crushing him to reclaim his mantle as true champion of the world.
Actor: Antonio "Bigfoot Silva (UFC Heavyweight, 6"5)
M. BISON
Bison is essentially the main antagonist in the Street Fighter universe. He is a psychotic warlord bent on total world domination. His self proclaimed "Psycho Power" fighting style renders him nearly invulnerable to defeat in combat. Bison has been known to, in several instances throughout the years, battle both Ken and Ryu at the same time.
Actor: Benedict Cumberbatch (Star Trek: Into Darkness)
VEGA
A famous bullfighter turned bloodthirsty killer from Spain, A complete egotist,Vega enjoys slaying his victim before large crowds inside of a cage. Obsessed with his physical beauty, Vega dawns a theatrical mask during his 'performances' and chooses to wear a claw on one of his hands to flay his adversaries.
Actor: Michael Fassenbender (300, X-Men First Class)
GUY
Guy was the first Final Fight character to be introduced into the Street Fighter universe. He helped Mayor Haggar and Cody defeat the Mad Gear Gang and save Metro City. The character of guy has long been portrayed as difficult to get along with and very short-fused, but ultimately noble in his intentions. His fighting style, Bushin, utilizes brutal speed and no-frills efficiency, which has given Guy a long career of tangling with entire gangs of foes.
Actor: Tom Hardy (fuckin Bane from Batman)
CODY
Actor: Charlie Hunham (Sons of Anarchy)
After Cody helped Haggar and Guy defeat Mad Gear, his life as a 'hero' would be short lived. Cody used his fighting ability to beat a bloody swatch through the underground fighting circuit and basically fight anyone for any reason. Cody eventually landed himself in jail and escaped soon after. Since then Cody has been continuously on the run, contributing to the havoc he once fought to stop.
GUILE
Actor: Brian Stann (UFC fighter, Decorated Marine)
Everyone knows this guy; the brush cut, the tattoo, the flash kick and sonic boom. And this time he's not being played by a terrible actor from Wales.
BALROG
Actor: Idris Elba (Prometheus, Thor)
Boxer turned Shadowloo criminal, Balrog is one of Bison's most valued assets. Why's the black guy automatically have to be evil? K'mon Capcom!
CAMMY WHITE
Actress: Olivia Wilde
British assassin who Bison brainwashes into killing Chun-Li's father.
