Though we're not sure if principal photography has wrapped on the movie itself (supposed wrap party photos have been doing the rounds), Orville Peck has revealed that he has finished filming his scenes as the villainous Vega for the live-action Street Fighter reboot in Australia.
The singer-turned actor also shared a series of new behind-the-scenes photos from his time working on the video game adaptation.
Though most of the shots feature various cast members out-of costume, we do get a new look at Peck as Vega (sans mask), as well as a glimpse of Callina Liang (who has also shared some new photos) sporting Chun-Li's signature hairstyle.
Vega was introduced as one of four bosses in 1991's Street Fighter II as a conceited, sadistic "Spanish Ninja." He is usually depicted as the right-hand man of Shadaloo leader M. Bison (David Dastmalchian).
A recent synopsis revealed that the movie will be set during the same year Street Fighter II was released in arcades.
“Set in 1993, estranged Street Fighters Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) are thrown back into combat when the mysterious Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament: a brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury. But behind this battle royale lies a deadly conspiracy that forces them to face off against each other and the demons of their past. And if they don’t, it’s GAME OVER!”
The cast list also confirmed speculation that Olivier Richters and Mel Jarnson will play Zangief and Cammy, while revealing that NJPW pro-wrestler Hirooki Goto will play E. Honda, and Rayna Vallandingham is on board as Juli.
The movie also stars Noah Centineo as Ken Masters, Andrew Koji as Ryu, Cody Rhodes as Guile, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog, Jason Momoa as Blanka, Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim, Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki, Eric André as Don Sauvage, and Alexander Volkanovski as Joe.
