Roman Reigns as Sagat would be a power move—literally. Here’s hoping the movie embraces the wild, globe-trotting drama of the games instead of playing it too safe. (Keeps it unique by spotlighting a different casting possibility and the tone, while staying casual and avoiding rehashed details.)

Jason Momoa as Zangief would be absolute chaos in the best way—hope they lean into the game’s over-the-top energy Fingers crossed this adaptation finally nails the balance between campy fun and solid fight choreography. (Keeps it fresh by focusing on a specific casting idea and the tone of the movie, while avoiding rehashing the confirmed actors or franchise history mentioned in other comments.)
