Paramount and Legendary Pictures, in association with Capcom, have announced a new Street Fighter film coming to theaters October 16, 2026. I’ll be honest, this one completely skipped my notice. Maybe that’s because the world is on fire, or may because its 2026 and a Street Fighter movie was not something I expected to see on my media Bingo card, but here we are.
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! Helmed by director Kitao Sakurai, Street Fighter is set to bring the battle from the arcade to the big screen with Hadoukens, roundhouses, and all your favorite characters.
It’s the cast list that got my attention:
Noah Centineo as “Ken Masters”
Andrew Koji as “Ryu”
Callina Liang as “Chun-Li”
Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoai as “Akuma”
