Rayna Vallandingham was announced as Street Fighter’s Juli in the upcoming 2026 movie. She is best known for both elite martial arts competition and film acting. At just 22 years old, she’s already accumulated taekwondo credentials that most athletes spend lifetimes chasing, then pivoted toward Hollywood at an age when most people are still figuring out what they want to do.
Who Is Rayna Vallandingham?
The foundation for Vallandingham’s career was laid remarkably early. She began training in taekwondo at age two, encouraged by her grandfather in her local dojo. Her father is of Dutch origin and her mother is of Indian descent, and the family clearly prioritized her athletic development from the start.
