Noah Centineo is sharing an abs-tastic update about his latest project.
The 29-year-old actor has reportedly been cast as Ken Masters in the upcoming Street Fighter film, based on the long-running video-game franchise of the same name.
On Monday, Aug. 25, Centineo offered a sneak peek at his ripped physique as he posted a snapshot on his Instagram from what appeared to be his trailer in Sydney, in which he posed shirtless and showed off his biceps and six-pack.
The actor also notably sported a different look than usual above the shoulders, including long curly blond locks and a less-scruffy facial-hair configuration.
“Road brawler,” Centineo wrote in the caption, nodding to the project’s title.

Comments immediately poured in for Centineo — including one from actress Rachel Zegler, who cheekily wrote, “NOW HANG ON-.”
Others posted thirsty GIFs of his To All the Boys … heartthrob character Peter Kavinsky, and one fan even joked, “Did i miss a book in the series or?????”
According to Deadline, the Street Fighter cast incudes Andrew Koji, Jason Momoa, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and more.
Aside from his upcoming role in Street Fighter, Centineo is also reportedly set to lead an upcoming Rambo film as a younger version of Sylvester Stallone’s iconic character.
Earlier this month, Deadline and Variety reported that the movie will serve as a prequel to Stallone’s original 1982 action film First Blood, and will be titled John Rambo.
Although Centineo is clearly favoring the action-role circuit at the moment (and was even originally cast as He-Man at one point), the Warfare actor isn’t against going back to his roots a bit.
“I would like to do a rom-com before I turn 30,” he told PEOPLE in January. “I’d like to do another one of those, for sure.”
Centineo previously told PEOPLE he’d “like to go back to romance” after shifting gears and focusing on action in recent years, first in 2022’s Black Adam and then in seasons 1 and 2 of The Recruit.
“I don’t know if it would be YA [young adult], but I do want to go back to romance,” he said.
