NJPW wrestler Hirooki Goto reportedly cast in Street Fighter film

NJPW wrestler and former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Hirooki Goto has been cast in the upcoming Street Fighter movie, according to a report.

Fightful reports that Goto has been cast as E. Honda in the new Street Fighter film set to be released in 2026. Goto would join a cast that already reportedly includes WWE talent Cody Rhodes in the role of Guile, and Roman Reigns as Akuma.

50 Cent and Jason Momoa are among the more recognizable names also attached to the project. The movie was originally slated for a March 2026 release, but currently has no official release date on the calendar.

Street Fighter is based on the classic Capcom video game of the same name, originally released in 1987.

NJPW announced last week that Goto would miss this summer’s G1 Climax tournament due to an elbow injury coming on the heels of dropping the IWGP World title to Zack Sabre Jr. late last month.
