'Street Fighter' Film Removed from Sony's Release Calendar
The video game adaptation faces uncertainty as Sony shifts focus to other projects following the end of its deal with Legendary.
- Sony has removed the 'Street Fighter' movie, originally slated for March 20, 2026, from its release calendar, leaving the project without a confirmed release date.
- The film, a collaboration between Capcom and Legendary, currently has no cast, writers, or directors attached, following the departure of previous directors in 2024.
- Sony's decision comes after the end of its global distribution deal with Legendary on December 31, 2024, which may have influenced the project's uncertain status.
- The 'Street Fighter' franchise, launched in 1987, has faced challenges in past live-action adaptations, with both the 1994 and 2009 films being critical and commercial failures.
- Sony has rescheduled Tommy Wirkola's shark thriller, now titled 'Shiver,' to July 3, 2026, as part of broader adjustments to its film release strategy.
