"The new adaptation of the Capcom video game brings together an extremely eclectic cast for an epic tournament featuring the world's greatest fighters - some of whom look more than a little weird."
"Set in 1993, estranged Street Fighters Ryu and Ken are thrown back into combat when the mysterious Chun-Li recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament: a brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury."
"Chun-Li's recruitment efforts lead to the trailer also passing the Bechdel Test - admittedly because Cammy makes a crack about Chun-Li's thighs, but it still counts!"
"The cast also includes Roman Reigns as Akuma, Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson as Balrog, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, and Jason Momoa as Blanka."
The upcoming Street Fighter movie, set for release in October, features real street fighting, unlike the 1994 adaptation. It is set in 1993 and follows Ryu and Ken, who are recruited by Chun-Li for a World Warrior Tournament. The film includes a deadly conspiracy that forces the fighters to confront their past. The trailer features an unreleased Tupac song and passes the Bechdel Test. The cast includes notable actors like Roman Reigns, 50 Cent, and Jason Momoa, with the film premiering on October 16, 2026.
