Before the release of the Street Fighter movie, reporters interviewed the cast. Nearly all respondents expressed their willingness to star in a crossover film with Mortal Kombat.
The interview discussed the idea of featuring two game franchises in a single film. The information revealed so far only covers the actors' willingness to participate, with no details on film approval, production, or release schedules.
The new Street Fighter film is an American action movie co-produced by Legendary Pictures and Capcom, with North American distribution by Sony Pictures. Directed by Kate Sakurai and written by Daran Musson, the cast includes Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, and Kailey Lian.
Adapted from the classic fighting game Street Fighter, the film was originally scheduled for a North American release on March 20, 2026. However, it was pulled from the schedule in March 2025 and indefinitely postponed, before finally being confirmed for an October 16, 2026 release.
Set against the backdrop of the 1993 "World Warrior" tournament, the story follows fighters Ryu and Ken, who are drawn back into competition by Chun-Li's appearance to battle villainous forces led by M. Bison. To capture the essence of the game, Takayuki Nakayama, director of Street Fighter 6, was involved in production, while stunt coordinator Jon Valera designed signature moves such as the Hadouken and Shoryuken.
