Street Fighter: Walton Goggins Allegedly In Talks to Play M. Bison

Walton Goggins had played the villain in a video game movie way back when Alicia Vikander was Tomb Raider, but he could be getting physical in another video game property from Legendary.

According to The InSneider, Goggins is currently in talks to play M. Bison for the Street Fighter movie. For context, Bison is considered one of the main villains in the franchise, and was also the main antagonist in the 1993 Street Fighter movie where he was played by Raul Julia.

Though that movie is considered terrible by general audiences, it actually has cult status to cinephiles, and Raul Julia’s portrayal of Bison was considered one of the best video game villain performances of all time.

Going back to Goggins though, we know he can play a great villain, but it does feel like Bison should be able to have the physical chops as well if he’s going to be a Street Fighter. If all he has to do is shoot Psycho Crushers at people though, I think it would be fun to just have Goggins just be as ridiculous of a villain as he can be. Heck, he can just do Uncle Baby Billy again from The Righteous Gemstones and I wouldn’t complain:

Should Goggins get the part, he would be joining a cast which includes Jason Momoa (Blanka), Andrew Koji (Ryu), Noah Centineo (Ken), and Roman Reigns (Akuma). Who knows, maybe they can get his Fallout co-star Ella Purnell to be the new Cammy; or should she be a British pop-star as well?

No official release date has been set for Street Fighter, but it’s expected to come to cinemas on 2026.
