Bring Back Jean-Claude Van Damme as Guile

The Issue

The 1994 Street Fighter movie holds a special place in my heart, largely because of Jean-Claude Van Damme’s excellent portrayal of Colonel Guile. His charisma and physical prowess brought a unique dimension to the role, capturing the spirit of a beloved character we knew from the iconic video game series. Watching him embody Guile on the big screen was an unforgettable experience, filled with excitement and nostalgia.

With the announcement of a new Street Fighter movie set for release next year, there's a perfect opportunity to reignite the same level of thrill and engagement among fans by bringing Jean-Claude Van Damme back into the fold. His presence not only embodies a legacy but also breathes new life into the franchise, ensuring continuity and authenticity.

Jean-Claude Van Damme’s return could bridge the gap between generations of fans – those of us who experienced the magic in 1994 and newcomers who are yet to witness his legendary performance. Let us rally together to show the producers and directors that we crave this remarkable reunion.

In an industry where reboots and new iterations often distance themselves from their roots, maintaining a connection with the original works can foster deeper appreciation and respect. Having Jean-Claude Van Damme reprise his role as Guile is a testament to honoring the legacy of the original film while embracing the future.

If you, too, would love to see Jean-Claude Van Damme return to his iconic role in the next Street Fighter movie, please sign this petition. Let’s make our voices heard and bring back the action hero who first brought Guile to life!
