The live-action Street Fighter movie has announced its full cast via an awesome retro-style video and poster.

The Kitao Sakurai-directed video game adaptation - which will now be distributed by Paramount Pictures - has also been pushed back a few months, and will now hit theaters on October 16, 2026.

This news comes as part of a new three-year deal between Legendary and Paramount, although Legendary’s former partner Warner Bros. will continue to distribute key franchises such as the A Minecraft Movie sequel, 2026’s Dune: Part Three and 2027’s Godzilla x Kong: Supernova.

The new synopsis reveals that the movie will be set during the same year Street Fighter II was released in arcades.

“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!”

The cast list confirms speculation that Olivier Richters and Mel Jarnson will play Zangief and Cammy, while revealing that NJPW pro-wrestler Hirooki Goto will play E. Honda, and Rayna Vallandingham is on board as Juli.

The movie stars Noah Centineo as Ken Masters, Andrew Koji as Ryu, Callina Liang as Chun-Li, Cody Rhodes as Guile, Orville Peck as Vega, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog, Jason Momoa as Blanka, Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim, Olivier Richters as Zangief, Hirooki Goto as E. Honda, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i as Akuma, Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki, Eric André as Don Sauvage, Mel Jarnson as Cammy, Rayna Vallandingham as Juli, and Alexander Volkanovski as Joe.

Check out the below, along with a reaction post from Rhodes.

“Legendary has built a reputation for ambitious, globally appealing films, and we’re excited to be partnering with them. Street Fighter is the perfect start to our collaboration, which we believe will be strong and lasting,” said Josh Greenstein, co-chair of Paramount Pictures and vice chair of platforms, and Dana Goldberg, Co-Chair of Paramount Pictures and Chair of Paramount Television.

Added Legendary CEO Josh Grode: “Partnering with David, Dana and Josh and their teams at Paramount marks an exciting new chapter for Legendary as we continue to pursue a diversified growth strategy—expanding our output, building new franchises, and creating more films for global audiences. This partnership is an extraordinary opportunity, and we look forward to working closely with Paramount on stories that will captivate and inspire moviegoers worldwide.”

Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat in 2026, dats gunna be a good year!.

Also, while I'm intrigued to see Andrew as Dan, I can't help but think of how great it would be if they cast had cast the GOAT, Dominik Mysterio as Dan.

Bronson Reed would have also made a perfect E.Honda

Cautiously excited about this movie. Casting is either really good or a head scratcher. I'm thinking they're really trying to stand out as different from Mortal Kombat. They hit on the main people so it's all good to me.

The premise is interesting imo though I am surprised about Ryu & Ken being estranged since that’s never been in any of the games in my knowledge since they have also remained best friends/friendly rivals even when not together…

I am fine with them doing that though since no doubt we get them reconciling their friendship by the end of the film so hopefully that’s well done (Chun-Li being said to be mysterious and recruiting them makes me think we’ll get her motivations in the film which is likely to kill Bison as revenge for the death of her father).

Also it being set in the 90’s is cool too and will no doubt give it a unique flavor in regards to video game adaptations atleast since the movie will likely reflect that time period aesthetically and via fashion , music etc.

Anyway as eclectic of a cast this is , I do think alot of them can/do fit their roles yet also still on the fence about certain ones such as David Dastmalchian as M.Bison (I could see him being Raul Julia-esque though)

Given its Kitao Sakurai at the helm , I wouldn’t be surprised if he leans into the absurd and over the top nature of the games which may work for some but not for others so we’ll see…

However as of now , I am hoping for the best and wishing this turns out well!!

@mountainman - I put sooo many hours into that game. Loved the console version, may have been marvel vs cap com 2 on dreamcast?

Other than Andrew Koji the cast is pretty rough! This should just go straight to streaming!
