Roman Reigns Reportedly In Talks For Big Hollywood Film

A recent report from Matt Grobar of Deadline has revealed that Reigns is currently in discussions for a starring role in the upcoming live-action "Street Fighter" film. This project is an adaptation of the iconic video game series that is well-known around the world.

This exciting movie, which Legendary Entertainment is developing, is also reportedly looking at other high-profile actors for its cast. Names such as Andrew Koji, known for his role in "Warrior"; Jason Momoa, famous as "Aquaman"; and Noah Centineo from the "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" series are also said to be in talks for different roles. While full details about this new "Street Fighter" movie are still being kept under wraps by the studio, the potential casting of a global superstar like Reigns is already generating a lot of buzz among both wrestling and movie fans.

Deadline’s report highlighted his previous work on the big screen and his professional representation: "A pro wrestler born Leati Joseph Anoa’i with one of the longest world title reigns in the history of the WWE, Reigns has previously made appearances in films like Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw and The Wrong Missy. He is repped by Bad Toro and Torres Benet."

This news of potential significant movie work for Reigns comes while he has been noticeably absent from WWE television programming. WWE fans last saw him on the episode of WWE Raw that took place immediately following WrestleMania 41 in April 2025. During that show, he was viciously attacked and laid out by Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker.
