David Dastmalchian (The Life of Chuck, Late Night with the Devil) has joined Legendary’s live-action Street Fighter movie.

He will play M. Bison.

M. Bison is the central villain of many of the games — the leader of the criminal organization known as Shadaloo, which is involved in various illegal activities, including arms trafficking, mind control experiments, and global domination. His ultimate goal? World domination.

Dastmalchian joins Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, Jason Momoa, Roman Reigns, Orville Peck, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, and Andrew Schulz. Bad Trip’s Kitao Sakurai is the director.

Street Fighter has sold over 55 million units worldwide since launch, making it one of the most well-known and highest-grossing video game franchises of all time. The most recent installment, Street Fighter 6, won Best Fighting Game at the Game Awards in 2023. The film adaptation is being co-developed and co-produced alongside Capcom, the developer and publisher of the video games.

Deadline first reported on Dastmalchian’s casting.
