WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns, who’s bringing Akuma to life in the upcoming “Street Fighter” movie, just dropped some serious behind-the-scenes footage. It’s clear the guy isn’t messing around when it comes to embodying the iconic video game character.

Getting Ready For The Fight

The video Reigns shared? It’s all about him deep in martial arts training for the film. You see the work he’s putting in to become Akuma, a character we all know from that legendary video game series. This isn’t just a cameo, folks; he’s diving headfirst into the physical demands, which, let’s be real, is exactly what you’d expect from the Head of the Table himself.

Big Names And The Big Screen

Reigns isn’t the only WWE superstar making the jump, either. Cody Rhodes is right there with him, playing Guile, which is a pretty sweet tag team for a movie like this. Paramount Pictures is the studio behind it all, and they’re hitting the United States hard with this release.

Mark your calendars, because this thing is hitting IMAX screens on Friday, October 16. You know you’ll wanna see how Reigns’ martial arts training pays off on the big screen when Akuma finally makes his debut.
