A new trailer has been released for the upcoming “Street Fighter” film, adapted from Capcom’s legendary fighting game series. The highly anticipated production will hit theaters worldwide on October 15, 2026.
Set in 1993, the film follows estranged fighters Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo), who return to the fight after the mysterious Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the next “World Warrior Tournament.” However, a deadly conspiracy lies behind the tournament. Ryu and Ken will have to confront both their pasts and each other in the process.
The production was first announced during a special presentation shown at The Game Awards 2025. The film has attracted attention with its extensive cast, including Jason Momoa, Noah Centineo, Callina Liang, renowned rapper 50 Cent, professional wrestlers Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes, Andrew Koji, David Dastmalchian, and comedians Andrew Schultz and Eric Andre.
Why it matters
The release of the trailer provides the first comprehensive outline of cinema’s new interpretation of Capcom’s long-established fighting game universe. Setting the story in 1993 puts Ryu and Ken’s relationship with their pasts, as well as how the series’ central characters will be repositioned, at the heart of the film. The conspiracy behind the World Warrior Tournament shows that the production will consist of more than just confrontations, and that trust and reckoning between the characters will also be decisive. Bringing together a broad cast of names from different fields leaves open the question of how the characters from the gaming world will form a coherent whole in the film adaptation. The film’s impact will depend on how these elements resonate with fans of the game series and new viewers alike.
