Street Fighter will be hitting the silver screen, as Sony has confirmed that a live action movie adaptation of the video game will be released in 2026. The project has been in the works since 2023, but has suffered setbacks, which included the film's two directors departing from the production. Sony and Capcom are co-producing the movie, together with movie studio Legendary Pictures. Street Fighter is no newcomer to live action films, with 1994's Street Fighter, which despite its negative reception, was a box office success. Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li was a 2009 film that served as a prequel to Street Fighter IV, but was critically lambasted. The new Street Fighter movie will hit theaters on March 20, 2026.

Third time's the charm?

Jean-Claude would be proud.

Nope, don't ever expect me to watch it when it will come out.

rip Raul Julia... no wait...

 

[NostalgicMillennial]

hey, I've seen this one before!

 

[KingVamp]

I haven't seen even one Street Fighter movie.

 

[CoolMe]

Expecting the Rock to be in it, for obv reasons, he'd be either Sagat or Zangief. But yea, it'll suck, either way.

The best Street Fighter movie so far was the 'fanfilm' from a decade ago - If an official movie can come even remotely close to Assassins Fist I'll be impressed.

Nice!
I remember the first one, all the hype, and carefully chosen scenes for promotion.
When I saw it I was completely disappointed and I was 4 years old back then but I was already into Street Fighter 2 for SNES.

I'd like to know the casting, as long as it has good actors and good script, I'd be watching it... as long as it references source material. The animes are a good start for proper character development, introductions and pacing.

My gut tells me it's gonna have some bullshit action "actors" like Statham, Rousey, Dwayne, Clive Owen, and probably one of those youngsters freaks with eyes way too separated and fugly "latino" looking and south korean human trends and probably UFC fighters "to add realistic choreographies". In other words, a fucking mess.

Ideally, Jean Claude Van Damme, Ming-Na Wen, and Kylie Minogue should do cameos.
Although, Maggie Q would make a perfect Chun-Li.

we all know how the last one turned out...

 

[Costello]

video game movies can work now, the recipe has been proven successful with Mario and Sonic movies. They just need to follow that same recipe! That is: give the fans what they want.

 

[slaphappygamer]

I want naked Cammy.

 

[xs4all]

Yeah nah, not sure about this one and how it would turn out.

But for those that haven't seen 2014's Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist, I recommend it if your a SF fan.

Did you see the sequel Street Fighter: Resurrection?

 

[Flame]

I'm not too fond of Street Fighter. As a kid, I wanted to fight as well as Ryu.

so I trained and trained and trained... in theory. in the real world, Hadouken didn't work.

That's the story of how my arse was whooped by the school bully.

As per usual, I like what everyone else seems to hate, I loved the original movie. You know I don't expect these movies to be 100% faithful to the games, why, because if I wanted a faithful experience, I could just play the damn games. These older game movies felt refreshing to me, they called to the games, but they stuck out in their own right as somewhat separate entities. I don't understand why everyone hates these older movies, but I'll be frank, I'm not too huge on these newer game movies, so far Detective Pikachu is the only one I would consider good to watch over and over. The Mortal Kombat remake was alright, but definitely didn't feel as good as the original to me. Not huge on the Sonic movies, I feel those would have been better as cartoons or CGI at most. Some games really don't need a real life adaptation.

Some games really don't need a real life adaptation.

most of the time it's both a quick buck and Hollywood just out of ideas.
