James Gunn has shot down rumors that Milly Alcock was fired as Supergirl and confirmed that he'll show Peter Safran an early cut of Man of Tomorrow later today.
The DC Studios co-chairman took to Threads on October 16 to dispel rumors surrounding his comic book movie projects. Although he's found putting a lid on the endless flow of internet rumors to be a little tiring, there were a few he wanted to take aim at when replying to a fan on Twitter/X.

First and foremost was the rumor that director Matt Reeves had completely departed The Batman Part 2 as director. Just about everyone now confirmed to be involved in the Elseworlds sequel had already clarified that Reeves would remain involved, so his denial is no surprise here. Another more recent rumor had some fans saying the star of Supergirl was let go, but that one's not true, either.
Milly Alcock has deleted all the posts related to Supergirl including her announcement one 🙃 https://t.co/FCHoI2lgOW
DC movie watchers feared the worst for Alcock's character after noticing the star had wiped mentions of Kara Zor-El from her Instagram timeline. Although that's not completely true – some photos and Reels related to Supergirl are still very much publicly visible – her standalone film's trouble in theaters had some believing she would be leaving the DCU behind.
Gunn confirmed that's not the case, and it's easy to see why. Alcock first appeared as the character in 2025's Superman and reprised her role in Supergirl when it came out in June. She's been firmly established in the new comic book movie universe, but she's also poised for a triumphant return in Man of Tomorrow.
Earlier this summer, Gunn teased that Alcock was set to return as Kara when the Superman sequel premieres July 2027. He even went as far as to say that her dynamic with David Corenswet's Clark Kent would come into play in the new movie while filming was underway recently.
Speaking of Man of Tomorrow, the third rumor Gunn shot down had to do with whispers that the DCU film had received poor reviews after an early test screening allegedly featured a dark ending and the death of a beloved hero. It's another bit of gossip that the director and comic book movie executive confirmed "couldn't be more false," but it also came with an update.
It just so happens that Gunn had planned to show Safran a director's cut for Man of Tomorrow later today. He said his fellow DC Studios co-chairman will "obviously" be the first person to see any version of the film, adding, "and that's a month early!"
Gunn's words come at a time that has DC fans more anxious than ever. Superman started the live-action corner of the DCU off with a sonic boom when it swooped into theaters last year, but that momentum came to a halt with Supergirl. Although Lanterns helped reignite the fan base with strong casting choices and a grounded story, there's been some hesitancy amongst those online who fear films like Clayface and Man of Tomorrow won't deliver.
Gunn, at least, sounds more confident than ever. As far as rumors go, while fans await official updates, there's only so much he's willing to entertain.
"Oh brother," his post said. "You guys just have to stop listening to BS, and I'm mostly done shooting down rumors, as there are so many and I'm not on here much."
If you weren't aware, the former Marvel filmmaker has put rumors on blast before. When fans started to suspect Supernatural star Jenson Ackles would be playing the DCU's Batman, for example, Gunn quickly stepped in to put an end to things.
For more while we wait to see how the DCU is coming together behind the scenes, you can read IGN's interview with Safran, where we learned about a few casting updates for the new Mr. Miracle series. You can also read about what's next for John Cena's Peacemaker.

Kim Kardashian is ready to take on the next season of Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars.
The longtime reality star made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Thursday, where the host asked her about her stint on the ABC competition series. She competed on the show’s seventh season in 2008 alongside Mark Ballas, and finished in 11th place, which Jimmy Kimmel noted was an earlier exit than Guillermo Rodriguez, who was kicked off the show this week.

“It’s so hard. I would honestly cry in my trailer every single night praying to get kicked off,” Kardashian said of her time on Dancing With the Stars. “It was so hard for me.”
The All’s Fair star explained that her shyness didn’t allow her to enjoy the experience and that she hasn’t danced since. She said, “I was so shy. I couldn’t get over myself. I couldn’t get into it ’cause I was just so shy. And I’ve never danced again.”
“Like actually, I’ve never danced since. I am traumatized. No, it’s like traumatized me for life,” she added. Kimmel then played a clip of Kardashian and Ballas’ Mambo to “I Like Big Butts,” which she said was hard for her to watch back.
The host asked her when she had last seen the video of her performance, and she revealed she actually watched it pretty recently, and it sparked an idea for her family to potentially all compete on Dancing With the Stars one day.
“We had a family poker night three weeks ago. Kylie decides to put it on the big movie screen. Half the people there didn’t know that I did it, and she wanted to show everyone. Thank God it’s so old that it’s pixelated. There’s no HD version of it on YouTube,” she said.
“I got up and went in front of the screen, and I remembered some of my moves, and I wished that I had the confidence that I do now,” Kardashian said, “I told my sisters, I was like, ‘Could you imagine if we did, like, a Kardashian-Jenner whole season of all of us competing against each other on Dancing With the Stars?’ And we all loved it. We all were like, ‘Yes, let’s do it.’ I mean, I don’t know if they would ever do that, but…”
Kardashian said her family was into the idea, particularly because her brother Rob Kardashian had such a successful run on the series. He competed on Dancing With the Stars season 13 in 2011 with Cheryl Burke, and nearly won the show, placing second to J.R. Martinez.
“My brother was so good. I would just want us all back. I don’t know if they bring people back, but I’d do it. I’d do it,” she said, which led Kimmel to say, “They would definitely bring you back.”
Across its 35-season tenure, Dancing With the Stars has only had one All-Star season full of returning contestants. Dancing With the Stars: All Stars served as the show’s 15th season and ran in 2012, with Melissa Rycroft being named the winner.

“Street Fighter” is back on the big screen for a new take on the popular fighting game video series that started back in arcades in the 1980s and is still popular today.
Paramount and Legendary’s live-action movie takes place in the ’90s and follows a worldwide fighting tournament that brings together challengers from around the world. The roster includes Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) and his childhood friend and training partner Ryu (Andrew Koji), who have appeared in every “Street Fighter” video game. There’s a colorful cast of fellow characters like Chun-Li (Callina Liang), M. Bison (David Dastmalchian), Cammy (Mel Jarnson), Vega (Orville Peck) and more. The cast also has several real-life martial arts fighters, WWE stars and wrestlers, like Roman Reigns as Akuma, Cody Rhodes as Guile and Oliver Richters as Zangief.
Kitao Sakurai, who’s helmed episodes of “Beef,” “Dave” and the “Eric Andre Show,” directs the movie, which previously had Danny and Michael Philippou (“Talk to Me,” “Bring Her Back) attached. It’s actually the third “Street Fighter” movie, following 1994’s self-titled film and the 2009 release “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.” The 1994 “Street Fighter” had a cast with Jean-Claude Van Damme as Guile, Ming-Na Wen as Chun-Li, Damian Chapa as Ken, Byron Mann as Ryu and Kylie Minogue as Cammy. “The Legend of Chun-Li” was a notorious flop and included Kristin Kreuk as Chun-Li, Neal McDonough as M. Bison, Michael Clarke Duncan as Balrog and Black Eyed Peas singer Taboo as Vega.
See the full cast of the new “Street Fighter” movie and how they compare to their video game counterparts below.
Alongside Ryu, Ken has appeared in every single main “Street Fighter” video game. In the movie, he’s a loudmouth, washed-up celebrity who’s trying to claw his back way to fighting stardom after his childhood friend and training partner Ryu has become the world champion. Ken is known for his fireball hadoken fireball move, his Dragon Punch flying uppercut (aka the shoryuken) and his tornado kick attack. Noah Centineo plays Ken after starring in movies like “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before,” “Black Adam” and “Warfare.”
Like Ken, Ryu is the only other character who’s been on every “Street Fighter” roster. He’s normally wearing his classic white gi, red headband and red gloves, and he has similar hadoken and shoryuken moves like Ken. They’re among the most popular characters in fighting games and have crossed over into other titles like “Super Smash Bros.,” “Marvel vs. Capcom” and more. Ryu is played by Andrew Koji, an actor and martial artist who played Storm Shadow in “Snake Eyes” and starred in “Bullet Train” and “Warrior.”
Chun-Li first appeared in “Street Fighter 2” and was one of the first female characters in any fighting game. She’s known for her kick attacks (and impressively large thighs) and her iconic blue costume. Chun-Li seeks out revenge against M. Bison after he murdered her father. Callina Liang bulked up and trained for the movie after appearing in “Presence” and “Bad Genius.”
Cammy works for the evil M. Bison as one of his agents. She was introduced in “Street Fighter 2: The New Warriors” and was the second female character added to the series after Chun-Li. Her costume has become popular among fans for her green or blue leotard, military beret and long braided pigtails. She’s played by Mel Jarnson, who also appeared in the “Mortal Kombat” movie as Nitara.
M. Bison is a villain and often the final boss in the “Street Fighter” games. He’s a megalomaniac dictator who rules over the Shadaloo criminal syndicate, and characters like Cammy, Vega and Juli report to him. He grows stronger from harvesting Psycho Power, and he’s often wearing a red military uniform. David Dastmalchian stars as the villain after playing equally odd characters in “The Suicide Squad,” “Dune” and “One Piece.”
Dan Hibiki is a comically weak fighter who also trained under Gouken alongside Ryu and Ken. With his pink gi, Dan later becomes a more respected and well-rounded fighter, but his moves are animated to be comedic in the video games. He’s played by comedian Andrew Schulz, who’s started appearing in more movies after growing to fame with his stand-up.
Akuma (Roman Reigns)
Akuma is one of the most powerful villains in “Street Fighter” and the younger brother of Gouten, mentor to Ryu and Ken. He’s often the final boss in many of the games and uses dark energy to power his hadokens. WWE star Roman Reigns plays Akuma in the movie.
Guile is a U.S. Air force pilot seeking revenge against M. Bison. He’s dressed in military fatigues and has an American flag tattoo, but he’s best known for his odd, flat-top blond haircut. He’s played by WWE star Cody Rhodes in his largest film role to date.
Zangief is a massive Soviet wrestler known for his grappling moves, red shorts, X-shaped scars and hairy chest. He’s played by bodybuilder Olivier Richters, who stands at 7’2” and has acted in “Reacher,” “Black Widow,” “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” and fellow video game movie “Borderlands.”
Vega is a Spanish fighter who sports a mask and razor-sharp claws in all of his appearances. He uses a mix of Japanese ninjutsu and Spanish bullfighting in his combat. He’s played by country singer Orville Peck, who’s making his film debut and is also almost always seen wearing a mask in his performances.
Blanka is a green-skinned, orange-haired monster who can generate electricity and launch himself as a super-fast ball, his signature move. He’s an animalistic fighter who’s controlled by M. Bison, and Jason Momoa plays the character after appearing in films like “Aquaman,” “Dune,” “Supergirl” and “Minecraft.”
Balrog is a boxer who enters the fighting tournament and is played by rapper, actor and business mogul Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. He wears his blue boxing outfit, but is better known for his unique hairstyle that paid homage to boxer Mike Tyson.
Dhalsim is a stretchy, Indian yogi and fighter who can contort his limbs. He’s played by Vidyut Jammwal, an Indian actor and martial artist making his American feature film debut.
Gouken (Don Lee)

Gouken is the mentor to Ryu and Ken who’s later murdered by his evil brother Akuma. He’s played by Don Lee, who’s starred in movies like “Train to Busan,” “Eternals” and many more and has a background in martial arts.
Juli is one of M. Bison’s minions who’s played by actress and martial artist Rayna Vallandingham (“Cobra Kai,” “Citadel”).
Don Sauvage (Eric Andre)
Don Sauvage is an announcer and non-playable character introduced more recently in “Street Fighter 5.” He’s played by comedian Eric Andre.
Joe (Alexander Volkanovski)
Joe is a non-playable background character who appeared in the first “Street Fighter” game. He’s played by Alexander Volkanovski, an MMA fighter and two-time UFC champion.
Elizabeth Holmes‘ partner Billy Evans appeared on the “All-In” podcast just as Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s documentary “You Can See Everything” started its theatrical release to explain why the couple allowed a camera crew inside their home in the days leading up to Holmes going to prison. Evans has not yet seen the movie, which has earned universal acclaim and Oscar buzz since world premiering at the Telluride Film Festival last month.

“[The context going in] is Elizabeth is facing an 11-year sentence. She’s been prevented from speaking publicly in any way, shape or form and this would come out after that period in which she is now allowed to talk,” Evans said. “There’s been a lot of media produced on her. There’s been a lot of people who have told her story. That narrative is pretty ossified. The whole idea was here she is, see her and make up your own mind. It’s not to re-litigate the case. Practically, at this time she was not allowed to talk about the case, so she was gonna follow the rules and not talk about the case.”
“It was to have people see who she is,” he continued. “I have gone through this consistent experience with the people who love me most, from my grandmother to my best friends. They’d hear I knew [Elizabeth Holmes] or I was falling for this person and now we’re going to have a kid… in the beginning, every single one of these people thought I was crazy. ‘Do you know who she is?’ I would tell them, ‘I understand why you feel that way but just meet her.’ And they would meet her and spend time with her and see her in a totally natural environment, like going on a hike or helping a friend. Every opinion of her would radically shift. That was the intention of the film. To help scale that up and allow other people to sit with her and make up their own minds.”
However, it would appear Holmes and Evans’ decision is backfiring. “You Can See Everything” has only amplified the backlash against and the distrust of former Theranos CEO Holmes. Even before the movie screened for press, A24 dropped a chilling teaser trailer that had many viewers disturbed by Holmes’ demeanor and claims that she did not do anything wrong at Theronos.
“I haven’t seen it. I might think this is the dumbest thing I have ever done,” Evans said on the podcast, admitting that Holmes “looks insane” in the trailer and acknowledging that “especially the music” in the clip has an anti-Holmes bent.
“Am I nervous? I have been through so many intense, surreal experiences that it takes a bit to raise my blood pressure,” Evans said. “With this there’s certainly concern but it’s ultimately our decision.”
Holmes and Evans met in 2017 and had their first child, William, in 2021. Their daughter, Invicta, was born in 2023. Watch Evans’ full interview on the “All-In” podcast in the video below.
Let's make this simple: You want to know if there are any mid- or post-credits scenes in Street Fighter. The answer is yes, as the film features an animated mid-credit scene.

Full spoilers for the movie follow!
Street Fighter is back on the big screen this week, with the third live-action incarnation of the popular video game franchise after attempts in 1994 and 2009. Was the third time the charm? Well, as Tom Jorgensen’s Street Fighter review for IGN notes, not exactly, though it’s certainly superior to The Legend of Chun-Li.
So how did things play out in this go-around? The story this time centers on old friends Ken (Noah Centineo) and Ryu (Andrew Koji), who are reunited after a years-long rift when they are both recruited by Chun-Li (Callina Liang) for the second-ever World Warrior tournament, which is being presented by Shadaloo dictator M. Bison (David Dastmalchian).
Soon, the best fighters in the world are gathering in Shadaloo, even as Bison has ulterior motives for holding the tournament at all, as his main goal is to get ahold of Ryu – the winner of the one previous World Warrior – in order to drain his “Hado Power” (which gives Ryu the rare ability to create a Hadouken) for himself.
So how did the tournament play out? And who had the Hado by the hand by the end? And why does Street Fighter feel notably incomplete as a movie? Let’s dive into the spoiler zone!
The Tournament Doesn’t Really Matter
To be fair, it is an intentional plot point that the tournament is all a ruse for Bison’s larger plan, which is something Ken himself doesn’t initially want to admit because it means so much to him. But still, it also feels weird how the tournament is handled in Street Fighter, because it does often feel like such an onscreen afterthought rather than a simple but effective way to give us more crowd-pleasing one-on-one fights in a movie called Street Fighter.
Ken at least gets two big tournament brawls, as he first faces Balrog (Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson) and then Dhalsim (Vidyut Jammwal), coming out as the victor in both cases, which sends him to the finals. But then there are the fights that are completely kept offscreen to a maddening extent, as Guile (Cody Rhodes) is defeated by Vega (Orville Peck), yet we don’t see a second of it, just the aftermath, as we’re told Vega won and see the large triple cuts on Guile’s face. And still, that’s somehow better than the Zangief (Olivier Richters) and Dhalsim showdown, which isn’t even verbally mentioned, but only available as info via quick flashes on the screen of the World Warrior board. Dhalsim at least gets a little more to do in the movie beyond this, but poor Zangief is bizarrely removed from sight for the entire tournament, never seen again after a group tussle everyone gets into at a club the night before the tournament begins. We never see him have an official fight, we never see his loss, and we never see him depart. He just ghosts the movie.
Ken never shows up for the final fight ... meaning Joe never has a single fight but is still the official winner of the World Warrior tournament!“
Come on, Street Fighter filmmakers, if you don’t want to give these other fights their own full scene, that’s where the power of a fight montage can come in handy!
Then there are the multiple outright forfeits that occur during the tournament, which again, is intentional thanks to Bison, even as you wonder how frustrating this would be for those tuning in to watch what appears to be a very big, internationally popular event. First, because Bison has Ryu held captive, he has Ryu officially listed as dropping out of the tournament, meaning his opponent, Joe (Alexander Volkanovski), wins by forfeit. Then Joe’s next opponent, Vega, also drops out of the tournament, presumably because he’s one of Bison’s main henchmen and his boss has work for him closer to home that can’t wait.
So Joe just forfeits all the way to the finals against Ken… Except then Ken never shows up for the final fight, because he goes to help rescue Ryu. Meaning Joe never has a single fight but is still the official winner of the World Warrior tournament! Which could have been a fun bit, but Joe is barely shown at all prior to his “win,” so it’s not like there’s even much resonance to this happening, beyond the humor for longtime Street Fighter fans of freaking non-playable original game character Joe to be elevated like this (albeit quite briefly).
Going back to the in-universe viewership of the tournament, it also stands out that Ken and Ryu are both well known fighters in the film, and it’s actually mentioned on TV what a big deal it is that they’ll both be in the tournament after years of separation, complete with the tantalizing promise of getting to see them battle one another. But while we moviegoers do get to see Ken and Ryu fight in an alley brawl at one point, working their old issues out the only way they know how, you gotta assume folks were pissed when Ryu was a no show at that heavily publicized tournament. I know Bison is a full-on dictator with bigger, more ominous goals, but still, there’s gonna be some super pissed-off comments and tweets about the whole “No Ryu” debacle.
Pour One Out for Joe
Amusingly, outside of seeing the death of Ken and Ryu’s master, Gouken (Don Lee), in the film’s animated flashbacks, there’s only one named character who meets their end in Street Fighter – and it’s the one and only Joe.
Yes, poor Joe gets to experience some major highs and lows in a matter of minutes, as he’s declared the winner of the tournament by announcer Don Sauvage (Eric André), only for Akuma (Joe "Roman Reigns" Anoa'i) to appear out of nowhere and demand to face the winner. Unimpressed when he sees Joe, given he arrived assuming he’d be facing Ryu, Akuma is also quick to respond when Joe tries to challenge him, using his demonic powers to literally blow Joe up.
RIP, Joe.
A Triple Threat of Big Bads
Street Fighter seems overly busy on the villain front as it heads towards its conclusion. There’s the obvious threat throughout the film of Bison, who’s got a cadre of formidable fighters working for him, including Vega, Cammy (Mel Jarnson), and Juli (Rayna Vallandingham). But then there’s the otherworldly power of Akuma, who Ryu is particularly fearful of, haunted by the fact that it was his own dabbling with an inner darkness that seemed to call to Akuma when Ryu won the last tournament, only for Akuma to kill Gouken. But that means Ryu is also fearful of himself, since he is worried that fighting again will lead to him succumbing to the dark urges Gouken warned him about, and which he tapped into when he violently defeated Sagat in the first tournament.
So how does Street Fighter juggle these three different potential big bads in the form of Akuma, Evil Ryu and Bison? Awkwardly, as you might expect when a movie is packing all of this into the very first film in a relaunched franchise. After Akuma kills Joe, Ryu arrives to confront him, and Akuma goes very Palpatine/Darth Vader by actively encouraging Ryu to use his dark side to unleash in their battle – which is exactly what Ryu eventually does. With Bison watching this confrontation from the arena’s otherwise empty stands, Ryu’s white gi magically turns black, as Evil Ryu battles Akuma and is eventually able to overpower him, knocking him out in the process.
That’s when Ken, Chun-Li and Dan Hibiki (Andrew Schulz, in a role way more prominent than Dan’s game history would ever have you expect) arrive, thinking it’s time to celebrate their friend’s victory, only for Evil Ryu to attack them too. He completely incapacitates both Dan and Chun-Li with one hit each, which is pretty insulting to Chun-Li; let her at least get in more offense than freaking Dan! But when Evil Ryu seems ready to outright kill them, he’s suddenly hit with a Hadouken! Yes, Ken has finally been able to unlock this most special of special moves too, something we’d seen him try and fail to do throughout the movie. And Ken’s Hadouken is so special that just the one apparently was enough to turn Evil Ryu good again right away, as Ryu oddly never really has to deal with quelling the darkness in himself – he just needed his best bro to blast him with blue energy! Hey, if it works, it works, right?
When it briefly seems Ryu might have actually taken a fatal hit from Ken, Ken sings “What’s Up?” – he and Ryu’s favorite song – to his old buddy, which finally leads Ryu to slowly come to and begin to sing along, soon joined by a tearful Chun-Li, Dan, and even Don Sauvage, who awakens from the rubble he was knocked into earlier by Akuma. And hey, kudos to 4 Non Blonds, because “What’s Up?” remains a great song 33 years after it came out, and between its prominent use in both Street Fighter and Masters of the Universe, they are killing it on licensing this year.
Street Fighter!!!
With the whole Evil Ryu deal dealt with easier than one might think, that means it’s finally time to take on Bison! …Except that doesn’t happen at all, because Bison and his goons sneak away, taking the knocked out Akuma with them.
Realizing what Bison now has gotten ahold of, and how it could give him the power he was trying to gain from Ryu, Dan asks “Did we make things worse?” Our heroes try to follow, but are stopped by Cammy pulling out a goddamn rocket launcher from Bison’s fleeing vehicle, which she uses to blow up Chun-Li’s van. So now our heroes have to figure out how to give chase a different way, in what feels like a bit of an odd move structure-wise for a movie that earlier felt like it was nearing its climax, but now clearly still has so much left in play!
The Ending That Isn’t
…Except then the movie just ends. Okay, there’s one more scene, but it’s still bizarre how Street Fighter doesn’t actually offer a conclusion. There’s a line between having a fun sequel tease after you wrap up your film’s main storyline and simply not wrapping up and leaving any sense of closure, and Street Fighter definitely crosses that line.
The six Street Fighters pack into the too-small car and turn up the radio to sing along to “It’s Raining Men” as they drive off into the distance and into the closing credits. “
The film’s final scene finds Ken, Ryu, Chun-Li and Dan on the side of the road, trying to hitchhike. And lo and behold, a car does pull over for them with Guile and Dhalsim inside, who we learned earlier were also both at the tournament on a mission to stop Bison… even though we then never saw them intervene at all after that. But now they’re for real tracking Bison, so they give the others a ride, with the six Street Fighters packing into the too-small car and turning up the radio to sing along to “It’s Raining Men” (sure, why not?) as they drive off into the distance and into the closing credits.
And again, I gotta stress, this all feels super weird, because it just seems like the movie stops rather than properly ends, completely putting off any sort of showdown with Bison – even one that could have ended with “We’ll meet again.”
Hell, we never even get any sort of fight between Chun-Li and Cammy, despite several scenes used to set them up as major rivals, priming the audience for an impending showdown. But as it turns out, that too is something that is tabled for the future. All of which is a rather vexing way to have things play out.
"Hop in."
The Mid-Credits Scene
After the film’s main credits play at the end, with fun visuals for the cast that use the same art and graphics as the individual character posters for the film, we cut to a mid-credits scene.
This dialogue-free sequence returns to the animated segments that opened Street Fighter and were used throughout the film for flashbacks. The opening sequence showed Ryu defeating Sagat – a high-profile game character who was notably absent from the live-action portions of the film – in the first World Warrior tournament, but only after he tapped into his Evil Ryu powers, slicing Sagat’s chest open with a mystically-powered punch up his body.
The mid-credit scene shows Sagat again, years later, and now bearing the familiar large scar from the games up his torso, the result of Ryu’s actions. Sagat is seen using his martial arts prowess to knock down a palm tree, as one does, only for him to turn to find a floating Bison before him, with Vega, Juli and Cammy at his side.
Obviously, this is a set-up for Sagat to join Bison’s team in a potential Street Fighter sequel, while Sagat only being seen as a dialogue-free animated figure also means they still have the flexibility to cast whoever they wish as the character next time out, not having to match anything specifically established here on the live-action front. And presumably, Sagat would now be seeking revenge against Ryu…
...but also, can they remember they forgot to have Chun-Li and Cammy fight next time and remedy that, please? %!s()
