The feature film adaptation of Capcom’s Street Fighter is coming at us! And it looks… good?!
This might be my undying love for Andrew Koji talking, but the trailer released today looks fun, silly, and entertaining, all wrapped up in a 1990s aesthetic. What more could one ask for from a Street Fighter film?
Here’s the official synopsis:
Set in 1993, estranged Street Fighters Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) are thrown back into combat when the mysterious Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament: a brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury. But behind this battle royale lies a deadly conspiracy that forces them to face off against each other and the demons of their past. And if they don’t, it’s GAME OVER!
Game over, indeed! Sign me up.
Street Fighter is directed by Kitao Sakurai, whose previous credits include Beef, Twisted Metal and The Eric André Show. The story idea came from Dalan Musson and Gary Dauberman, with the script written by Sakurai and T.J. Fixman. In addition to Koji, Centineo, and Liang, the film stars Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoaʻi as Akuma, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, Cody Rhodes as Guile, Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki, Eric André as Don Sauvage, Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim, Orville Peck as Vega, Olivier Richters as Zangief, Hirooki Goto as E. Honda, Rayna Vallandingham as Juli, Alexander Volkanovski as Joe, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog, and Jason Momoa as Blanka.
The movie is set to premiere in theaters on October 16, 2026.
