There's still no confirmed release date for the upcoming Street Fighter movie, and details about the plot remain scarce. What we do know, however, is that comedian Andrew Schulz will play Dan, while WWE superstar Cody Rhodes takes on the role of Guile. Jason Momoa is set to portray Blanka, with Roman Reigns as Akuma. And in a casting choice bound to raise eyebrows (and laughs), 50 Cent will appear as Balrog.

The first image of Cody Rhodes as Guile surfaced yesterday, shared by Schulz from the set. The shot highlights something simple yet unmistakable: the U.S. Marine's iconic flat-top hairstyle.
