I had not even heard of this movie until today. I can't believe Disney got the rights to use so many established characters in their movie. Looks pretty amusing. Trailer is embedded on this site. Couldn't find it on youtube yet.
Oh. Yeah I see now it was referring to Street Fighter II V, which apparently is the spin-off anime. But anyway. Maybe they just wanted a bigger part for him, and could only fit him in this way? I doubt Disney writers are so brainwashed on Fox and generally stupid to make Zangief a baddie by default. Again though, silly…
