Also boarding the production are Naomie Harris as the female lead and Ben Miles.
Yune has recently spoken about the role and gives a brief hint at how this ass kicking will ensue…
“Not to give too much away, (but) my character stays within what he was brought up with, and they go up against each other,” Yune said. “I’m not a heavy. The characters are ninjas, they are assassins, and there’s this mix of morality the Wachowskis are exploring.” )

Screenwriter Justin Marks says:
”The way I approached the writing of Street Fighters script was simple. Throw away everything and start with character. For just a moment, forget about the fights, forget about the costumes, forget about the flaming Hadoukens… go back to the essence of what the characters are about.
See, I think the Street Fighter world is epic. I think its got a huge story, and its busting at the seams.
