Alex Valentino is longtime fan of comics, movies, cartoons and more who uses his production and writing background to inform the internet.
Summary The upcoming Street Fighter movie will have to cast an actor as the series' most famous character, Ryu, with several promising options available in the modern cinema landscape. Taking inspiration from the long-running series that began the popularity of fighting games, Legendary's Street FIghter has been sparse with details, having no announced cast or story plans at the time of writing.
Clearly able to pilot a combat-oriented franchise, Daniel Wu showcases his real martial arts background throughout the breathtaking fights of Into the Badlands. He's also well-versed in video game movie acting, lending his talents to 2016's Warcraft as well as 2018's Tomb Raider.
6 Noah Fleder Could offer the film a more interesting avenue Far from a household name, Noah Fleder isn't a classically trained actor, but has a unique mix of experience that just might make him perfect to play Ryu. Noah Fleder is a martial artist, director, and cosplayer known for training high-profile social media influencers, such as Lindsey Pelas and Dolly Castro, in martial arts using his incredibly varied background of training.
The most recent entry of the Street Fighter franchise, Street Fighter 6 finally moves forward with the story after years of prequels, significantly aging up most of the classic world warriors from the arcade classic Street Fighter II, including Ryu. Passing the reins of series mascot and protagonist to the young American veteran Luke, Ryu takes a step back in importance as more of a mentor figure in the present narrative.
3 Simu Liu Has the charm and aesthetics for carry a Street Fighter franchise Known for playing Shang-Chi in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Simu Liu is a criminally slept-on actor. While Marvel hasn't used Shang-Chi since 2021 for whatever reason, despite the film's success, Simu Liu could instead pivot his efforts towards a more appreciative franchise as Ryu in Street Fighter.
