    David Dastmalchian to Play M. Bison in “Street Fighter”

    Mary Anne ButlerBy 1 Min Read

    This just in-

    it sounds like our friend David Dastmalchian (“Dune Part One,” “Murderbot,” “Late Night with the Devil“) will play a legendary villain in the upcoming “Street Fighter” live-action film, M. Bison!


    The adaptation of the legendary Capcom fighting game series was originally supposed to hit theaters in early 2026 until Sony scrubbed it from its release slate. It made sense considering the film was changing directors and hadn’t even announced anyone in the cast.

    M. Bison is the head of the Shadaloo criminal organization.

    Callina Liang will play Chun-Li, Jason Momoa will play Blanka, Roman Reigns will play Akuma, Noah Centineo will play Ken, Orville Peck will play Vega, Andrew Koji will play Ryu, and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson will play Balrog.

    Kitao Sakurai ( “The Eric Andre Show,” “Bad Trip“) is directing.

    We’ll let you know what else we hear about this and other news.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
