The news has already sparked excitement among fans of the iconic video game franchise and Momoa's work alike, raising anticipation for what could be an electrifying portrayal.

Blanka, the character Momoa may embody, has a harrowing backstory. Once a young boy, he became the sole survivor of a plane crash in the Brazilian rainforest. Living in isolation, he developed amnesia due to the accident, losing all recollection of his past.

His journey from a lost child to a powerful fighter makes him one of the most intriguing characters in the "Street Fighter" universe.

Scheduled for a tentative 2026 release, the "Street Fighter" live - action film is already generating significant buzz. With Momoa's potential involvement, known for his dynamic performances in "Aquaman" and "Game of Thrones", there’s speculation that he could bring a new level of intensity and depth to Blanka. As negotiations continue, fans are eagerly waiting for official confirmation and more details about the highly - anticipated movie.
