‘Street Fighter’ film cast and synopsis released

Paramount Pictures has released the cast and synopsis details for the upcoming 2026 Street Fighter film.

Street Fighter is a classic CAPCOM arcade game, with the first game launching in 1987, and there has also previously been a 90s action movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, based on the game franchise.

This upcoming movie directed by Kitao Sakurai; aims to ‘honor the quarter-pumping, button-mashing spirit of the 90s classic while leveling up for a new generation of fans.’

What is this new Street Fighter movie about?

Set in 1993, estranged Street Fighters Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) are thrown back into combat when the mysterious Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament: a brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury. But behind this battle royale lies a deadly conspiracy that forces them to face off against each other and the demons of their past. And if they don’t, it’s GAME OVER!
