Jason Momoa in Street Fighter I can already picture him yelling 'Hadouken' with that signature intensity—hopefully he brings the same energy he did in *Minecraft* without it feeling like a repeat. Fingers crossed this adaptation nails the vibe of the games without leaning too hard into Hollywood cheese. (Keeps it fresh by focusing on Momoa's potential performance and the adaptation's tone, while avoiding rehashing details about the cast or franchise history.)
