Lateef and Eddie have three things in common: they’re both Brazilians, they know Capoeira, and they both sport cool dreds. She will be playing a much older Ling in Tekken, and I can’t wait to see her moves once again! We were first awed by Chiaki when she played the “high-school-girl-slash-killing-machine” character Gogo Yubari in Kill Bil. Playing his character is a former Light Heavyweight Kickboxing champion from England, Gary “DangerMan” Daniels, who has an impressive record of 22-4, and has starred in movies alongside Jackie Chan and Steven Seagal. I can’t wait to see the special effects!īryan Fury is Tekken’s version of “Robocop”, but if you ask me I think he’s more of a cross between Rambo and Predator. And I think it’s great that they included his character in the upcoming Tekken movie. Yoshimitsu I believe is a god of the Manji clan I’ve always been amazed by his samurai moves (who isn’t?). I have high expectations from this guy, although he’s known to be a good stuntman and had participated in movies such as Pirates of the Carribbean, Indiana Jones, and Kill Bill. Gary plays the role of the strange and enigmatic Yoshimitsu. And his fit physique makes him a perfect “Law” – with or without a mustache (let’s just do something about those eyebrows…). Cung Le has an amazing record of 22 wins and 0 losses in his kickboxing career. Nothing would be smarter than casting a real-life undefeated champion for the role of Marshall Law, Tekken’s own “Bruce Lee”. Julia’s character was more likely to have been included, but nevertheless it’s Michelle that made it to the character list.

Frankly, I never expected they’d include Michelle’s character in the upcoming movie, alongside new characters like Miguel and Christie. Holly’s aura exude that of a strong woman with a sense of dignity and belief in herself – perfect for a character like Michelle Chang. But can she carry the bazooka as smoothly as this Tekken chick?Ĭombine a kick-ass military fighter and a foxy lady and you get Nina Williams, Anna’s sister and arch rival for their father’s affection, and in everything else! Playing her character is an equally sexy singer-slash-model Candice Hillebrand, who has graced the covers of Maxim more than once. I’d say the perfect Heihachi is Cary and none other!ĭashing Latina actress Marian Zapico plays the seductive and mischievous Anna Williams. My favorite faces in Hollywood since his Mortal Kombat days! Those sharp eyes and raised eyebrows are just few of the things that make this actor sell, wait till you see him in action. Miyagi’s daughter and Daniel’s object of affection in that long ago movie, and will now play Jun Kazama, the undercover psychic with the purest of hearts. Who doesn’t remember that beautiful face from Karate Kid II? Tamlyn Tomita played Mr. Ian got the looks but I hope he got the moves, too! Hmm, we’ll see when this movie comes out *fingers crossed*.Īvatar Gamma of Charmed plays the villainous Kazuya, son of Heihachi and heir of Mishima Zaibatsu. Congratulations to this guy for getting a break! If you ask me, I think he’s a bit too young to play the Jin Kazama character.

He’s been in a couple of martial arts movies as a stunt actor including Batman Begins (one of the shadow warriors). Who’s this guy? Frankly, I’ve never heard of him until I checked the casting call of Tekken. Let’s take a quick and interesting look at the awesome cast of the upcoming Tekken: Live Action Movie:
