Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is set to star in the upcoming “Street Fighter” movie, and a cryptic social media post from comedian Andrew Schulz has sent fans talking, speculating that it could be the first look at his character.
Andrew Schulz’s Cryptic Cody Rhodes Teaser
On August 17, Schulz posted a still image to his Instagram Story showing a shadowy figure on a sidewalk. Cody Rhodes’s entrance music, “Kingdom,” was playing over the image, which also featured the caption: “A NEW WARRIOR HAS ENTERED…” The caption is a clear reference to the iconic “Here comes a new challenger” screen from the “Street Fighter” video game franchise.
‘Street Fighter’ Filming and Cody Rhodes
The timing of the teaser has fans questioning its origin. It was previously reported that filming for the new “Street Fighter” movie is not scheduled to begin until September, and that Rhodes’s commitment to the project is expected to be a short one. This has led to speculation that the image is not from the actual movie set, but rather an early costume test designed to build hype.
Rhodes’s involvement in the film was confirmed earlier this year. He will star alongside his longtime rival Roman Reigns and, reportedly, NJPW’s Hirooki Goto. It’s been reported that those in WWE are optimistic that the filming schedule will not significantly interfere with their top champion’s storylines.
