Two critically acclaimed directors explain why they left the live-action Street Fighter movie. In April 2023, it was announced that Legendary was developing a movie adaptation of the Capcom video game franchise with Danny and Michael Philippou, fresh off their successful debut Talk to Me, in talks to direct, though they eventually dropped out and were replaced by Kitao Sakurai. Recently, it was reported that the Street Fighter movie is in talks with Jason Momoa, Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, and Roman Reigns to star. 3t1a13

The Capcom fighting video game series Street Fighteris about to receive a new adaptation from Legendary Entertainment, and the film has recently added a few incredible names to its cast, leading to speculation as to which character each performer might play. The recent box office for AMinecraft Movie attested to Jason Momoa's star power, and he appears to be the biggest name attached to the new video game adaptation thus far. However, the other names that were added to the film may be equally exciting.

Jason Momoa has already ed another video game franchise after the massive success of A Minecraft Movie. Minecraft is the biggest domestic success of 2025, grossing over $417 million and having a worldwide total of over $930 million. While the film isn't a hit with critics, audiences seem to enjoy it, especially younger crowds who cheer and throw popcorn whenever Jack Black says "Chicken jockey" or "Flint and steel." The film also stars Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Coolidge, and Sebastian Eugene Hansen.

Street Fighter has four stars circling the cast. The live-action movie is an adaptation of the video game franchise of the same name, which was previously adapted into a live-action movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme in 1994. The live-action Street Fighter movie, which comes from the media company Legendary and has an unknown release date after recently being pulled from its planned position on the 2026 schedule, is set to be directed by Kitao Sakurai (Twisted Metal, Bad Trip).

The live-action Street Fightermovie has a new logo after its release was delayed. Based on the popular game of the same name, the live-action adaptation has faced some uncertainties in coming to life. Initially scheduled for release in 2026, the Street Fighter movie has been removed from Sony Pictures' release calendar following Kitao Sakurai's replacement of Danny and Michael Philippou to direct the project.

Action movie legend Jean-Claude Van Damme has had some notorious missteps across his career, yet the much-maligned 1994 version of Street Fighter shouldn’t be counted among them. As a box office hit and one of the few video game adaptations from its era to capture the essence of what made this arcade classic so beloved, it’s shocking to see Street Fighter’s rating stand at a measly 11% on Rotten Tomatoes. Featuring Van Damme at the height of his movie stardom, this cult classic deserves to be reappraised by mainstream viewers.

Over 30 years after its first live-action movie, Street Fighter is set to receive a modern reboot on the big screen, and its disappointing release date update may prove to be a blessing in disguise for the film. Confirmation that Street Fighter was getting a live-action movie broke in 2023, with the iconic fighting franchise finally getting a shot at redemption after its previous theatrical difficulties. Considering how successful the video game series is, Street Fighter's huge fan base should have made the transition into live-action easy, but the past results haven't been overly pretty for the IP.

The classic video game series Street Fighteris getting an all-new live-action movie adaptation from Legendary Entertainment, and there are a ton of exciting updates. Developed by Capcom and debuting back in 1987, the Street Fighter franchise is perhaps the most beloved fighting game of all time and helped to popularize the genre throughout its six main installments. The concept of the game is rather simple and pits players against one another in one-on-one duels. Outside the main games, Street Fighter has spawned countless spinoffs and sequels across multiple gaming platforms.

The live-action Street Fighter movie has been removed from the 2026 release calendar. The update comes only a month after Kitao Sakurai became the new director of Legendary Entertainment's Street Fighter movie. Directors Danny and Michael Philippou previously exited the project. The popular video game franchise previously received the live-action movie treatment in 1994, with Jean-Claude Van Damme playing Colonel William F. Guile and Ming-Na Wen playing Chun-Li Zang.

An imagined Street Fighter live-action movie gets fan art that includes A-list stars. Street Fighter is a classic video game that originated as an arcade game in 1987. After its initial release, it spawned multiple sequels and spinoffs, including Street Fighter II in 1991. In the current era, it is becoming increasingly popular to adapt video games for the big and small screen, as evidenced by recent projects such as The Last of Us, Fallout, and Mortal Kombat II. The Street Fighter game had a feature film adaptation in 1994, which starred Jean-Claude Van Damme.
