20 Upcoming Movies That Made INSANE Casting Choices
20. 50 Cent - Balrog (Street Fighter)
The casting for the upcoming Street Fighter adaptation is totally unhinged, and it's either going to pay off brilliantly or result in an abject disaster - no in-betweens.
There are a number of amusingly bonkers casting choices, like wrestlers Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes playing Akuma and Guile, but the most ridiculous of the lot? 50 Cent playing boxer Balrog.
Now, even ignoring Fiddy's rather lacklustre acting career, it's going to be tough to take the 50-year-old rapper seriously in the role of a prime-of-his-career boxer.
The recent reveal trailer didn't help much either - he looks less like Balrog than 50 Cent in slightly dodgy Balrog cosplay.
At least the movie looks surprisingly fun for the most part and evidently isn't taking itself too seriously, so hopefully Fiddy's performance will strike the right tone and he'll also manage to give a persuasive physical performance as the iconic character.
Again, no in-betweens - it either works or it doesn't.
