As Legendary continues to build its cast for the Street Fighter movie, Deadline reports that David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil, The Life of Chuck) has been cast as the final boss, the head of the Shadaloo organization, M. Bison. Additionally, WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes will portray USAF pilot Guile following his upcoming cameo in The Naked Gun.
