If you’re making a movie about fighters, you may as well go with the real thing.
That appears to be the route that Moving Box Studios went in casting two of its roles for its unauthorized project Street Fighter: Genesis, based on the long-running Capcom video game series. In the trailer that was released Tuesday, fight fans may recognize two familiar faces: Sage Northcutt and Seth Petruzelli.
Northcutt, a former UFC fighter who is set to make his debut with ONE Championship in May, is playing “Ken”, a character who has been part of the series since the very first Street Fighter game.
