Street Fighter live-action film production

Overview

Capcom has begun releasing details regarding its upcoming live-action film, ‘Street Fighter/The Movie’, which is scheduled for a simultaneous worldwide release on October 16, 2026. Initial announcements focused on the Japanese dubbing cast, including comedian Eiko Kano as the character Joe, alongside Takeshi Nadagi and Akari Niu. Subsequent updates provided further plot and casting details, confirming the film is set in 1993 and follows fighters Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) as they are reunited by Chun-Li (Callina Liang) for the ‘World Warrior Tournament’. The cast also features Jason Momoa as Blanka, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, and Cody Rhodes as Guile. Additional casting updates include Joe ‘Roman Reigns’ Anoa’i as Akuma and 50 Cent as Balrog. To promote the film, Paramount Pictures and Legendary Entertainment have launched the ‘World Warrior Tour’. The global campaign kicked off in Tokyo with a trailer launch at Shinjuku Yunika Vision, featuring cast members Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji, Callina Liang, and Jason Momoa. The tour is scheduled to visit several major cities, including Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, London, and Mexico City. In Mexico, actors Noah Centineo, Callina Liang, and Andrew Koji are slated to lead promotional activities. A new trailer released by Paramount Pictures on August 31, 2026, highlights a plot involving a ‘deadly conspiracy orchestrated by M. Bison’ and focuses on the strained relationship between Ryu and Ken. To engage fans, distributors released an interactive trailer on YouTube that allows users to engage with combat sequences. In India, the film is slated for release in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. The production is a collaboration between Paramount Pictures, Legendary Pictures, and Capcom, directed by Kitao Sakurai.
