The trailer sells the Ken and Ryu split as the film's spine, which puts the movie's weight on the two least-known names in a cast otherwise stocked with wrestlers and musicians.

Paramount Pictures began streaming a new trailer for Legendary Entertainment's live-action Street Fighter film on Monday, built around Ken and Ryu's relationship and rivalry. The film opens October 16. Andrew Koji plays Ryu and Noah Centineo plays Ken, with Callina Liang as Chun-Li, Jason Momoa as Blanka, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, and Cody Rhodes as Guile. Kitao Sakurai directs; the shoot began in Australia in August 2025.
The trailer frames the story Paramount described in its synopsis: Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) are estranged in 1993 when Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament, and a conspiracy pushes them toward fighting each other.
Kitao Sakurai directs. The shoot started in Australia in August 2025, after Danny and Michael Philippou left the project to work on Bring Her Back. The film is the first to be distributed under the multi-year deal Paramount and Legendary signed in December, which covers Legendary films worldwide except China, where Legendary East handles distribution. The film opens October 16.
