Video: Here's Your First Look At The Street Fighter Live-Action Movie, Due Out 2026

I guess I’m glad this is being made, but I don’t think it’s for me!

We clearly live in a decadent society

It looks like made by AI even though the movie is official by Paramount.
Not for me.
The Street Fighter Parody from City Hunter movie when Jackie Chan become Street Fighter character (E.Honde, Chun Li) is still the best funny moment from old movies. 🤣

Looks good so far .

That looked awesome, I love that the costumes are faithful!

Even if the movie looked any good - and it really, really doesn't - casting a white guy with a history of racist jokes as Dan is enough to make this a never watch for me.

Cody Rhodes truly is Guile lol

I rather watch the 1994 one again but hope other people enjoy it

Anything CGI heavy now looks like AI slop. Looks like they would have needed a much higher VFX budget to shake off the is-it-or-is-it-not-AI look.

Well it certainly looks stupid enough, but I think the colors on Ryu and Cammy may be a bit TOO game accurate

I love the initial look of this. Looking for something chaotic and goofy with this adaptation

Looks great.

Yaaooo win.
Perfect.

Maybe I missed the casting announcement. But did I see Roman Reigns as (what looked like) Akuma in this trailer?

@Waluigi451 I didn’t even recognize it was him initially 😂.

It looks as very "not-taking-itself-seriously" dumb as I expected, which tbh is probably for the best.

If Capcom use a better theme song for the movie teaser.

You know what?

Hell yeah.

It looks delightfully stupid.

I'm hoping it is delightfully dumb, but no one will ever capture the magic of Raoul Julia's most over-the-top possible read of M. Bison.

I’m in. Love the casting.

Looks over the top and goofy, which is what it should be. Hip hop never went with SF for me though.

There's barely an actor on that entire cast list. It's going to be horrible.

Is it April 1st already?

No Sagat so far though. Hopefully everyone is always asking "where's Sagat?" whenever he's not on screen

Fights look so much like harness work. Such a shame

@UmbreonsPapa Thats correct. Cody Rhodes as Guille too.

Jason Momoa, self proclaimed 'lifelong obsessed Street Fighter fan'.
Calls Ryu 'Raai-U'

@PinderSchloss seriously. The games pronounce Ryu’s name in almost every game after Street Fighter II.

Game: “Re’yu”
Momoa: “I hear Raiyu”

It looks like those movies that are so so bad, that it ends up being entertaining (so in line with the 90s Street Fighter movie). I highly doubt it can achieve commercial success like this, though

Side note: The article doesn't mention which character 50 Cent plays, which is Balrog/M.Bison.
EDIT: Now it does.

Actually, this has me thinking: for the Japanese release, will they follow the Japanese naming conventions of SF or will they pull a Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game and call them with their western names even in Japan?

That looks so fricking goofy!!

I’m in.

Ken is supposed to be 3/4 Japanese, but they've cast a White actor here — kinda disappointing. I think the Ryu-Ken dynamic is more interesting if Ken is an Americanized Japanese fighter.

@Anti-Matter How does this look AI. I hate how everyone slaps around that, such an insult to everyone involved working on this.

Cool trailer and a movie I’ll watch for sure. Would be cool if we later down the lane would see a crossover movie with Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, but that’s probably just wishful thinking on my part.

Well, er, yeah, that was something.
Guiles hair in real life really shows how stupid that haircut is.
That picture of the video had me doubletake, is that Antonio Banderas as Ryu? What happened to the other guy....I realise then feel foolish, pleased no one knew my thoughts. So, I preceded to tell everyone

@Peach64 they’ve not outright said, but they seem to be going for a dumb meme movie

@Lizuka so, mad at racist jokes(from a comedian btw ) but also mad that the person playing Dan isn’t the race you think he should be? 😂

Based on what I just saw in the trailer, this movie looks really dumb. But I'd still give it a chance, although realistically, I doubt I'll ever see it since I don't go to movie theaters anymore, nor do I subscribe to any of the streaming services. Looks to me like it'll get universally panned by the movie critics, though. But I bet it does ok at the box office.

I can't support Paramount, and I can't support a slopfest movie full of non-actor celebs. This looks abysmal.

I love that it looks so terrible and like it was made in the 90s

This will be the most cringiest movie to be released next year. I can feel it in my bones.

@Coffee-Waffle same. The attention to characters is amazing, and it looks like a delightfully fun time! It gives me serious flashbacks to playing these games in the arcades.

@NintendoByNature Don't see how on earth that's a contradiction in your book - Dan is a Japanese man and they have him being played by a guy with a history of blaming Asians for COVID - but thanks for letting me know you're someone better off on my ignore list.

Judging from the trailer, it seems they're keen on making it a good adaptation, but it also has vibes from a typical "mixed" adaptation, I don't know... I will just wait for the film to be released to see how it handles up though.

"Fight scenes that would look right at home in a martial arts movie"
You'd hope so, given that it's... a martial arts movie

@Lizuka @Lizuka 👍 just wanted to point out how hypocritical it is. Ignore away!

This looks just right for me, camp as the original but with better action, here for it, also why’s Dhalsim so hot now 🥵

This movie looks terrible. Which is a great thing considering the legacy of the first one from 94. Which is probably the best bad movie ever made.

I'll end up seeing this one way or another, but I couldn't get with the trailer. Maybe a future trailer will help.

Looks awesome, idk where all the hate is coming from. This is going to be at least on par with the Mario movie. Also Punk Tactics is a great song

This trailer is the right feel for a movie like this. People need to realize that with a franchise like Street Fighter, any live action film adaptation needs to lean into the campiness and goofiness that is already present in the SF series. Does the series have some badass characters? Yes. Is the series about flashy martial arts fighting and street brawling? Yes. Does the series lore contain some comically absurd characters, storylines, and fighting moves? WITHOUT A DOUBT.

Street Fighter doesn't take itself too seriously as a franchise, so this movie should not take itself too seriously as well - Which we can see here it does not. I am loving the vibe of the trailer because it looks like it will remain faithful to the look and presentation of Street Fighter without trying too hard to make it feel realistic to real life. I want this to be over the top and embrace the craziness because the SF franchise does the same exact thing in the games.
