Street Fighter (2026)

Street Fighter — an upcoming American action comedy based on the iconic video game series by Capcom. This is the third live-action feature adaptation of the franchise, following the 1994 and 2009 films. Directed by Kitao Sakurai, who also co-wrote the screenplay with T.J. Fixman. The film is set in 1993 — the very year the legendary game Street Fighter II was released, which defined the aesthetic and tone of the movie. Plot: Estranged fighters Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) find themselves back in the fray when the mysterious Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the "World Warrior" tournament — a brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury. But behind this royal rumble lies a deadly conspiracy that forces the heroes to fight not only each other but also the demons of their own past. If they can't handle it — game over! Cast:
