Capcom’s Street Fighter franchise has seen some bad movies in the past. And that’s why fans were exceptionally excited to hear that Street Fighter would receive a new cinematic adaptation, coming in 2026. The Street Fighter movie recently brought on The Eric Andre Show and Twisted Metal director, Kitao Sakurai, to direct the film. But although it seemed to be making progress, Sony recently removed Street Fighter from its upcoming release calendar. The Street Fighter movie was meant to release in 2026, but now we don’t have a good release date for it. Of course, given that the director of the movie recently changed, this move by Sony could simply mean he needs more time to execute his vision properly.
Seeing release dates shift for movies we’re excited about is always a little stressful. But given the history of Street Fighter, it’s definitely more important to get this movie right than to have its release date be imminent. We don’t know too much about what was planned or is changing for this new film. However, we do know that Legendary will co-develop and produce the Street Fighter movie with Sony and Capcom, and they will work together on any future titles. All companies involved have a rich history of adapting games onto the screen, and so, with any luck, this release date shift is just a minor scrape and not a KO.
Street Fighter was released in 1987 and has defined the fighting game genre since. It’s one of the highest-grossing and most profitable video game franchises in our history, so it’s about time it gets a live-action movie done right. Many anime adaptations have grown the game’s world and lore, and there’s a lot in it to adapt. Hey, this game is almost 40 years old, after all. Hopefully, a new Street Fighter release date will surface soon.
