A new trailer for the live-action Street Fighter film was released on April 16, 2026, building on the teaser from The Game Awards 2025. It reunites estranged fighters Ryu and Ken for a tournament shrouded in conspiracy, packed with explosive action like roundhouses, a Hadoken, and brutal clashes. The movie hits cinemas on October 16, 2026.
The two-minute trailer features Ryu (Andrew Koji), a wandering fighter drawn back by Chun-Li (Callina Liang), facing off against his old rival Ken Masters (Noah Centineo), now a down-on-his-luck performer seen in a poignant karaoke scene before unleashing fury, including smashing a car in homage to classic Street Fighter bonus stages.
Fight choreography delivers 1990s-style camp: bodies crashing through walls, gravity-defying kicks (even mid-towel), and fiery explosions. Fan-service nods include Cammy's quip about Chun-Li's 'thunder thighs,' while Ryu charges a signature Hadoken. M. Bison's shadowy role teases Shadaloo's conspiracy behind the World Warrior Tournament.
This follows the December 2025 teaser, which introduced the star-studded cast—including Jason Momoa as Blanka and Roman Reigns as Akuma (full list in prior coverage)—and the 1993-set plot of estranged heroes confronting past demons amid a deadly plot. Directed by Kitao Sakurai, the film adapts Capcom's iconic series, boosted by Street Fighter 6's 2023 launch (PS4/5, PC, Xbox Series X/S) and upcoming Switch 2 port.
