The villainous lineup also includes Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i as Akuma, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog, Cody Rhodes as Guile, and Orville Peck as Vega. Other notable casting choices include Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim, Eric André as Don Sauvage, Olivier Richters as Zangief, Hirooki Goto as E. Honda, and Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki.
