\n\tThe official Street Fighter<\/a> movie trailer is out, and fans of the game\u2019s campier aspects will not be disappointed. Others might be<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tKen Masters (Noah Centineo<\/a>) is the undeniable champion of the upcoming Paramount Pictures film, but the whole cast of Capcom\u2019s Street Fighter II characters is here: Andrew Koji of Ryu, Callina Liang as Chun-Li, Joe (\u201cRoman Reigns\u201d in WWE) Anoa\u2019i as Akuma, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, Cody Rhodes as Guile, Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki, Eric Andr\u00e9 as Don Sauvage, Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim, Curtis \u201c50 Cent\u201d Jackson as Balrog, Jason Momoa as Blanka, Orville Peck as Vega, Olivier Richters as Zangief, Hirooki Goto as E. Honda, Rayna Vallandingham as Juli, Alexander Volkanovski as Joe, Kyle Mooney as Marvin and Mel Jarnson as Cammy.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSet in 1993, estranged Street Fighters Ryu and Ken Masters 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,\u201d the film\u2019s logline reads. \u201cBut 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\u2019t, it\u2019s GAME OVER!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the trailer, which features some seriously gravity-defying (and limb-defying, for Dhalsim) moves from the video games, Balrog and Zangief (temporarily) get the better of Ken, who as Ryu astutely points out, is \u201cstill reckless.\u201d Plus, Cammy starts something with Chun-Li that really should have been left unsaid and Guile wants everyone to believe him about Ryu\u2019s Hadoken. I guess Guile\u2019s own projectile, the sonic boom, didn\u2019t make the script.<\/p>\n

\n\tIf you were wondering, given the throwback setting \u2014 Street Fighter II came out in arcades in 1991 and on consoles in 1992 \u2014 yes, MTV factors prominently into the culture. And also Ken gets to kick the shit out of a sedan in a bonus round. There will be no shortage of easter eggs in this one.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Street Fighter movie, directed by Kitao Sakurai and due out Oct. 16, 2026, is the first fruit of Paramount\u2019s three-year distribution deal with Legendary.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLegendary has built a reputation for ambitious, globally appealing films, and we\u2019re excited to be partnering with them.\u00a0Street Fighter\u00a0is the perfect start to our collaboration, which we believe will be strong and lasting,\u201d Josh Greenstein, co-chair of Paramount Pictures and vice chair of platforms, and Dana Goldberg, co-chair of Paramount Pictures and chair of Paramount Television, said in a joint statement back in September.<\/p>\n
