The cast for the live-action Street Fighter movie continues to grow, as the project has just found its M Bison in the form of David Dastmalchian. The actor–who previously appeared in The Life of Chuck, The Dark Knight, and Late Night With the Devil–will be stepping into the boots of the iconic Street Fighter antagonist.

According to Deadline, Dastmalchian’s reps have declined to comment, but this news comes amidst a flurry of recent casting news. Andrew Koji, Callina Liang, Noah Centineo, Jason Momoa, Roman Reigns, and Orville Peck are all linked to the project, and last week, it was announced that Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson will play one of Bison’s top enforcers, heavyweight boxer Balrog.

In the Street Fighter games, M Bison typically serves as the final boss. Not just one of the most powerful brawlers in the series thanks to his mastery of Psycho Power, Bison also runs the criminal syndicate Shadaloo–an organization involved in all manner of illegal operations–as part of his plan to rule the world.

The first time that Bison was seen on the big screen was in the 1994 adaptation of Street Fighter, as he was brought to life by the late actor Raul Julia. The final performance of Julia–who was battling stomach cancer at the time–the actor played Bison with a Shakespearian flair and delivered several memorable quotes with his performance, including his legendary speech about Tuesday.

Since then, Bison was portrayed by Neal McDonough in Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li and Silvio Simac in the web-series Street Fighter: Resurrection.
