Street Fighter director Kitao Sakurai is writing a potential sequel
Director Kitao Sakurai has confirmed that he is currently writing a potential sequel to the upcoming Street Fighter film. While the groundwork is being laid to continue the adventures of characters Ryu and Ken following the second World Warrior Tournament, Sakurai noted that the project's realization depends heavily on audience reception and the commercial performance of the first movie.
The upcoming film is expected to feature animated sequences that explore the backstories of Ryu and Ken, specifically involving their mentor Gouken and his brother Akuma. Although fans have speculated about the inclusion of characters like Sagat, no official casting or plot details for a sequel have been finalized.
