Over the last few years a number of wrestlers have made the jump to Hollywood, and months ago Cody Rhodes landed a role in the upcoming Street Fighter movie. Rhodes is set to take on the role of Guile and he recently wrapped up his scenes for the film.
During a recent appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Cody Rhodes shared some details regarding what fans can expect from the movie while also revealing some spoilers about his character.
“Bit of a spoiler of what is gonna be, I hope, a monster movie. Guile does a few things in terms of the video game — Guile’s gonna do the Sonic Boom, the Flash Kick. I was adamant that anything that’s a stunt, I’m gonna do it. If that requires me being on these wires, I wanna do it. If you put another guy here in the corner who I know is gonna do the shot after, I still want a shot at it.”
Rhodes also praised director Kitao Sakurai when he added, “If you ever played the game, especially Street Fighter 2 — what he’s done as the director is unbelievable. It’s fan service. You got Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, the real final boss in that game, it’s just a wonderful cast.”
Cody Rhodes isn’t the only WWE star involved with the Street Fighter movie as Roman Reigns is also set to play Akuma in the film. Other notable names who are featured in the film include Jason Momoa, David Dastmalchian, Noah Centineo, 50 Cent and more.
Street Fighter will arrive in theaters on October 16, 2026.
