We may have gotten our first look at Noah Centineo’s Ken in the upcoming Street Fighter film. Last week, we got a shadowy glimpse at Cody Rhodes’ Guile on set. While we didn’t see much outside his lore-accurate hair, it was enough for fans to go crazy. Now, a new picture, thanks to Noah Centineo’s social media, shows us what his Ken may look like.
Legendary’s Street Fighter, directed by Kitao Sakurai (Bad Trip, Twisted Metal), started filming earlier this month. After it announced the loaded cast, including Warrior’s Andrew Koji as Ryu, Aquaman’s Jason Momoa as Blanka, and 50 Cent as Balrog, many were cautiously optimistic about the adaptation. While no official release date is set yet, it’s not stopping some teases on set on social media, like with Noah Centineo.
Street Fighter’s Noah Centineo Teases First Look at Ken Masters
In a new photo from the Black Adam actor, Noah Centineo shows off his muscles in his trailer. We can also see that his hair, unknown if real or fake, is down and dyed yellow. To further confirm it’s Ken, Centineo captioned the post “Road brawler”, which is a cheeky hint at the title Street Fighter. Considering how Ken looks in the games, he does seem to resemble the American-born rival of Ryu rather well.
Of course, it’s one thing to look the part and another to act it out. Though considering Centineo’s burgeoning action career with The Recruit, he may be a perfect fit for Ken Masters. Regardless, it’ll be interesting to see if more set photos regarding Street Fighter will be seen as they film in Australia. The fighting franchise is no stranger to adaptations, but many are hopeful that Legendary’s take will succeed.

Ewwww. Capcom just likes ruining franchises this was confirmed with the last Mega Man cartoon Man Of Action admitted they were told not to be like the games. I hope Savvy buys Capcom and fixes this. We need anime not this that helped Capcom in the 2000’s proper 2D anime adaptions of games like Mega Man NT Warrior/Battle Network and Viewtiful Joe. Gotcha Force getting an anime would be awesome and Viewtiful Joe.
