Watch 50 Cent Become Balrog in Action-Packed ‘Street Fighter’ Trailer
The live-action film hits U.S. theaters on Oct. 16.
50 Cent takes on the role of Balrog in the upcoming live-action remake of the Street Fighter movie, set to release in U.S. theaters on October 16. Paramount Pictures unveiled a thrilling trailer on September 1, featuring Chun-Li, portrayed by Callina Liang, rallying Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) as Ken finds himself in a dire situation at the World Warrior Tournament.
In the trailer, 50 Cent, donning the iconic M-shaped hairline, showcases his action skills by delivering a beatdown to Ken Masters inside the boxing ring. The film also includes a comedic scene of 50 Cent entering a club where WWE superstar Cody Rhodes makes a cameo appearance. Eric Andre, the comedian, takes on the role of the in-ring announcer for the intense fights.
To ensure his stunts were genuine, 50 Cent underwent rigorous training, eliminating the need for a stunt double. Other notable cast members include WWE's Roman Reigns (Joe Anoa’i), Jason Momoa, and country singer Orville Peck. The G-Unit boss, 50 Cent, is also contributing to the movie's soundtrack, with a tantalizing posthumous collaboration between himself, Eminem, and 2Pac hinted at during a July appearance on Today With Jenna and Sheinelle.
