There isn't an official competition for 'coolest movie actor to appear in a fighting game' happening right now, but you would certainly think so. Aside from Jean Claude Van Damme and Megan Fox making appearances in Mortal Kombat 1, upcoming fighter Tekken 8 may have just cinched victory with its latest character reveal and the actor portraying him.
Victor Chevalier is the latest character to join the Tekken 8 roster, a total newcomer to the series who's voiced by legendary French actor Vincent Cassel. My uncultured brain mostly associates him as the French Robin Hood from Shrek, but Cassel has done a hell of a lot more than that. As well as appearing in a number of notable French movies like La Haine, Irréversible and The Specials, Cassel gained further recognition for his roles in English-language movies like Ocean's Twelve, Ocean' Thirteen, Black Swan and even the third season of Westworld.
