WWE superstar Roman Reigns is in discussions to appear in the live - action "Street Fighter" movie, potentially taking on the role of Akuma, according to reports1. This has sparked excitement and speculation among fans of both the wrestling star and the iconic video game franchise.

Akuma is a character with a fearsome reputation, known as the "Master of Fists" and the "Fist of the Destroyer of Gods and Demons"5. He trained under the master Goutetsu alongside his older brother Gouken in his early years5. Akuma showed great talent and an almost unprincipled pursuit of the pinnacle of martial arts from a young age5. He was obsessed with the cruel side of the assassination - fist fighting style, and Gouken was helpless in the face of his crazy younger brother5. Driven by the killing desire born from the Satsui no Hado, Akuma accidentally activated the power within him, killed his master, and disappeared, sinking deeper 

Reigns has some acting experience from his appearances in movies like "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw" and "The Wrong Missy"5. If he lands the role of Akuma, it will be a significant opportunity for him to showcase his acting skills in a new genre. Fans are eager to see if he can bring the complex and intense character of Akuma to life on the big screen.
