Summary
- A new live-action Street Fighter movie set in the '90s is releasing.
- It features original characters like Ryu and Ken, plus wrestlers.
- This is the third film adaptation of the popular video game franchise.
A new live-action adaptation of the iconic "Street Fighter" video game series is set to hit theaters. The movie, a Paramount and Legendary production, is scheduled to be released in the 1990s. It will feature a global fighting tournament that brings together various characters.
Central to the plot are Ken Masters and his childhood friend Ryu, who have been staples in the "Street Fighter" franchise since its arcade origins in the 1980s. The film's diverse cast includes Chun-Li, M. Bison, Cammy, and Vega. Notably, the movie incorporates real-life martial arts fighters and WWE stars, with Roman Reigns as Akuma, Cody Rhodes as Guile, and Oliver Richters as Zangief.
Directed by Kitao Sakurai, known for his work on "Beef" and "Dave," this film is the third cinematic venture for "Street Fighter." It follows the 1994 self-titled movie, which starred Jean-Claude Van Damme, and the 2009 "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li," which is considered a critical and commercial failure.
