Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns were Kept Separate on the Street Fighter Set
Two of WWE’s biggest stars, Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns, are among the cast members for the upcoming Street Fighter movie. Rhodes plays Guile, while Reigns portrays Akuma. However, an interesting detail has emerged: the two wrestlers have rarely encountered each other on set, and the production team has deliberately kept them separate.
Interesting Precautions on the Street Fighter Set
According to an interview given by Cody Rhodes, he was only on set with Roman Reigns for one day during filming. Despite this, it has been stated that the production team took special precautions to ensure the two actors avoided contact as much as possible.
According to Rhodes, the crew was extremely cautious, even in their radio communications. Warnings were constantly issued to prevent one actor from arriving on set while another was present, ensuring the two weren’t in the same spot at the same time.
Rhodes suggests this might have been because the production team feared a potential conflict between the two due to their rivalry history in WWE. They may have worried about a potential conflict between them.
The two only had a brief encounter. Rhodes notes that he had to describe the location of a trailer on set to Roman Reigns, a rather awkward moment. Beyond that, they had almost no communication throughout the film.
The new Street Fighter movie also features another name from the wrestling world. New Japan Pro-Wrestling star Hirooki Goto will play the character E. Honda. The film, adapted from Capcom’s famous fighting game series, is scheduled for release in October. New information about the cast and details of the production continues to be shared as it becomes available.
