Paramount Pictures released a new trailer for Legendary Entertainment's live-action Street Fighter film, which opens October 16. Set in 1993, the story follows Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li through the World Warrior Tournament. Andrew Koji plays Ryu, Noah Centineo plays Ken, and Callina Liang plays Chun-Li. Kitao Sakurai directs. The film is the first distributed under the new Paramount-Legendary deal after Sony dropped it from its calendar.
Production began in Australia in August 2025 under director Kitao Sakurai, who took over after Danny and Michael Philippou left the project to work on Bring Her Back. The film was originally set for a March 20, 2026 release under Sony Pictures, which removed it from its calendar in March 2025. Paramount and Legendary signed a multi-year distribution deal in December, and Street Fighter is the first film to move under it. The cast includes Jason Momoa as Blanka, Roman Reigns as Akuma, and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson as Balrog.
