Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Roman Reigns has been tied to a live-action Street Fighter project, with reports in 2025 indicating he was in talks and later appearing in promotional material related to the film. This has contributed to him taking time away from WWE duties for filming.[3][4][5]
- By late 2025 and into 2026, some outlets suggested ongoing involvement or teased transformations as part of the film’s build, though exact on-set dates and character details varied in early reporting.[2][7]
- A trailer and promotional materials released in early 2026 further integrated high-profile WWE names, including Reigns, into the Street Fighter project, signaling the film’s broader rollout plan.[9][10]
If you’d like, I can pull the most recent articles and provide a concise timeline with linked sources. I can also summarize any specific outlets (e.g., WB/film trade sites, WWE-focused outlets) you prefer.
