50 Cent has announced that he has started work on the new adaptation of Street Fighter.

On his Instagram page, the rap legend posted a picture of the iconic video game series’ logo and wrote: “I haven’t been posting because I’m working on my new movie Street Fighter. I’m working what you doing ?”

In the latest adaptation of the game, 50 is playing Balrog while the rest of the ensemble is made up of Jason Momoa, Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, David Dastmalchian and Orville Peck.

The film will also feature WWE legends Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes.

Some of 50’s most notable screen roles include his semi-autobiographical debut Get Rich or Die Tryin’, Righteous Kill alongside Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, the action series Escape Plan and boxing drama Southpaw.

Speaking to Deadline, 50 said: “You know, everybody loves London. If you’re from New York, or you’re a recording artist from America in general, the first stop and your first dose of international love is London.”

He added: “My audience, my core audience – the people that were enjoying my music in the very beginning – is at home. They’re older. They’ll understand the entertainment choices that I make creatively. I’ve used music to merge with entertainment.

“Being able to launch out here [in the UK] is big because I have a huge audience here that hasn’t been able to participate with us. Now they get a chance to see it.”
