New ‘Street Fighter’ Movie Reveals Starry Cast and First Look, Targets October 2026 Release

Legendary is developing the live-action adaptation with Capcom, with outlets split on whether Paramount or Sony is handling distribution. An official lineup names Andrew Koji as Ryu, Noah Centineo as Ken, Callina Liang as Chun‑Li, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, Jason Momoa as Blanka, and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog. Pro wrestlers Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns join the ensemble as Guile and Akuma, respectively, alongside additional cast including Orville Peck, Andrew Schulz, Eric André, Vidyut Jammwal, Olivier Richters, Hirooki Goto, Rayna Vallandingham, Alexander Volkanovski, Kyle Mooney, and Mel Jarnson. The film is directed by Kitao Sakurai from a latest draft by Dalan Musson, following the earlier departure of Danny and Michael Philippou from the project. Coverage cites an October 2026 theatrical launch, with some reports specifying October 16 and others October 26, and a first-look, arcade-style character-select image was posted as production gets underway.
