Cody Rhodes is reportedly to play Guile in the upcoming Street Fighter live-action film, and the shooting for the film is set to begin soon. Meanwhile, The American Nightmare captured the Undisputed WWE Championship from John Cena at the first-ever two-night SummerSlam in New Jersey.
According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select, the film is set to begin shooting anytime between the next few weeks and September. The report also provides an update on Rhodes' WWE future, as he won't miss anything significant while he shoots the movie.

The report states it won't affect The American Nightmare's schedule, as he recently won the Undisputed WWE Championship for the second time. It'll be interesting to see which star steps up to become Rhodes' first challenger for the title.
Cody Rhodes isn't the only WWE Superstar in the upcoming Street Fighter movie
Before Cody Rhodes joined the cast of the upcoming Street Fighter live-action film, Deadline revealed that Roman Reigns was cast in the Hollywood project as Akuma. The Original Tribal Chief is slowly moving towards Hollywood, as he's already transitioned to a part-time performer.
The 40-year-old megastar has other projects in the bag going forward, but he's set to be in the same film as his fellow former rival from the Stamford-based promotion. Moreover, he scored a win with Jey Uso against Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker at SummerSlam 2025, but was written off after the event.
On the most recent edition of Monday Night RAW, The Vision (Seth Rollins' faction) viciously attacked Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and LA Knight. The Original Tribal Chief took a Stomp, Spear, and multiple Tsunamis from the villainous group and was written off television for a while, mostly so that Reigns could shoot the film.
It'll be interesting to see when he returns to the promotion to continue his feud with The Vision.
