Orville Peck, the enigmatic artist known for his unique musical style, is ready to return to his creative roots after a brief foray into the world of cinema. With his first on-screen role in the highly anticipated film adaptation of Street Fighter, Peck is now looking forward to getting back to making music.
Peck, who plays the iconic character Vega in the live-action arcade adaptation produced by Legendary Entertainment, recently marked the end of his two-month filming schedule in Australia. He shared behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram, expressing his gratitude for the unforgettable memories and challenges the experience brought. "My time in Australia making the @streetfightermovie has come to an end," he wrote. "This experience brought me so many unforgettable memories, challenges, and above all, a cast and crew that I love to death."
The Stampede artist also hinted at his eagerness to return to his music, saying, "Time for this spotted horse to get back to my music and hanging with my dog. But until October 2026 – mama, that’s a hadouken."
Peck's journey into acting began with his Broadway debut as the Emcee in the revival of Cabaret, followed by his casting in Street Fighter. The film, written by Dalan Musson, boasts an impressive cast, including Andrew Koji, Jason Momoa, Noah Centineo, Roman Reigns, and many others. Street Fighter, a series of fighting games launched in 1987, revolves around intense one-on-one battles between a diverse lineup of martial artists, often centered around a global fighting tournament organized by the evil M. Bison and his organization Shadaloo.
While Peck is excited to return to music, his experience in Street Fighter has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on his career. As he prepares to resume his musical endeavors, fans are left wondering what new creative heights he will reach next. But for now, Peck is ready to hang up his acting hat and get back to his roots, leaving us with a sense of anticipation for what's to come.
