The future of the video game adaptation remains uncertain, while Sony shifts focus to summer 2026 with 'Shiver.'

Overview

  • Sony Pictures has removed the live-action 'Street Fighter' film, co-produced by Legendary and Capcom, from its release calendar, leaving its future uncertain.
  • The film was initially scheduled for release on March 20, 2026, but no updates on casting, plot, or a new release date have been provided.
  • The removal follows the conclusion of Sony's global distribution deal with Legendary on December 31, 2024, complicating the project's release strategy.
  • 'Street Fighter' joins a history of unsuccessful live-action adaptations of the iconic Capcom video game franchise, with previous films in 1994 and 2009 failing critically and commercially.
  • Sony has rescheduled Tommy Wirkola's shark thriller, now titled 'Shiver,' for a July 3, 2026 release to compete with Universal's 'Minions 3' during the summer blockbuster season.
