I read, sometime last week, that Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns are set to be in a Street Fighter movie that is currently in development.
Well - there is an additional piece of news about the project which made me sit up even more when I read it yesterday.
Former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion - Hirooki Goto - is reportedly going to play E Honda in the film.
Those familiar with the video game series will know that Edmund Honda is a sumo wrestler from Japan.
Goto obviously doesn't look like a sumo star!
It's an intriguing casting because it'll mean a New Japan Pro Wrestling wrestler will be sharing the screen with two World Wrestling Entertainment stars.
Goto is currently injured and has been forced to pull out of this year's G1 Climax, which begins a week from today. I saw some speculation suggesting Goto's absence from the tournament could be related to filming Street Fighter, but that doesn't add up because the project isn't set to go into production until later this year.
