Now, while there aren’t further details about the film itself, Sony has set the feature for a March 20, 2026 premiere.
Video game movies may be hot right now, but this one has a tough act to follow. Have you watched Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie lately? It still whips. I’ll also go to bat for 1994’s much-maligned live-action Street Fighter film starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as Guile and Raul Julia as M. Bison.Beyond that, the Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li film followed in 2009 with Kristin Kreuk in the lead, and there was also the Street Fighter II V anime series in 1995 and the endearingly goofy American cartoon series from 1995-1997. Capcom’s game series has been running since 1987’s Street Fighter, which was followed by the hugely influential Street Fighter II in 1991. The current entry, Street Fighter 6, is still going strong since its launch on June 6, 2023. Source: Variety
