This obviously isn't the first time Jackson has played in the video game space, as he starred in two games in the 2000s--50 Cent: Bulletproof and then the previously mentioned Blood in the Sand. Meanwhile, Balrog first appeared in Street Fighter 2 before becoming a playable character in Street Fighter 2: Champion Edition. The boxer is affiliated with M. Bison, and in fact, went by that name initially before Capcom changed the character's moniker to Balrog.
Sony Pictures recently took Street Fighter off its release schedule after the movie was previously planned for March 20, 2026. That said, casting seems to be picking up for the film, and Bad Trip director Kitao Sakurai signed on earlier this year. This will be the third live-action Street Fighter film, following in the footsteps of the original 1994 adaptation and 2009's Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.
