Cody Rhodes will rock Guile's iconic haircut in the Street Fighter Movie

The Street Fighter movie is shaping up to be pure fan-service gold, and the latest update has fans buzzing. Cody Rhodes, WWE’s “American Nightmare,” is stepping into the role of Guile, complete with the character’s legendary flat-top haircut.

Yes, that high-and-mighty military cut is officially headed to the big screen, and it’s already stealing the spotlight.

Cody Rhodes Will Reportedly Play Guile in Street Fighter Movie

Casting Cody Rhodes as Guile is kind of genius. He’s got the physique, the intensity, and that all-American soldier vibe. But Street Fighter fans weren’t going to be sold unless one detail made the cut (literally): Guile’s hair. And guess what? It’s happening. Rhodes’ silhouette on set revealed the unmistakable flat-top, and fans instantly knew that this was Guile.

A Hairstyle That’s Basically a Character

Guile’s haircut isn’t just a style; it’s a personality. The flat-top has been part of his identity since Street Fighter II dropped back in the ’90s. It screams discipline, attitude, and “Sonic Boom” energy. For Rhodes to pull this off, he doesn’t just have to act like Guile; he has to wear Guile. And judging by early sneak peeks, the look is locked in.

The Cast of Street Fighter Movie Is Stacked

The movie isn’t just banking on one good haircut. The lineup is stacked:

Add Cody Rhodes as Guile to that mix, and this feels less like a video game movie and more like a WrestleMania crossover event.

Rumors even have Andrew Koji and Noah Centineo playing Ryu and Ken, which would lock down the core of the franchise.

Fighting Game Movies Are Having a Glow-Up

Video game movies have been hit-or-miss for decades, but the tide is turning. Mortal Kombat is revving up with Karl Urban as Johnny Cage, and now Street Fighter is leaning hard into faithful fan service. Getting Guile’s hair right may seem small, but it’s the kind of detail that shows the creators get it. They’re not cutting corners; they’re giving fans the real deal.

The Hype Is Real

We still don’t have the full trailer or official stills, but one shadowy reveal of Rhodes’ flat-top was enough to spark memes, fan edits, and a wave of “take my money” tweets. If the rest of the movie delivers on this level of detail, Street Fighter could finally break the “curse” of video game adaptations and give fans the over-the-top action they’ve been waiting for.Cody Rhodes stepping into Guile’s boots and haircut is more than just casting news. It’s a signal. Street Fighter isn’t just reimagining its characters for Hollywood, it’s bringing them to life as faithfully as possible. And if Rhodes can nail the attitude to match that flat-top? Consider this movie a critical hit.
