The new Street Fighter movie, originally in development for years, has seen a shift in direction with Kitao Sakurai announced as the new director. Concerns arise about the film's preparedness for its planned March 20, 2026 release due to the late addition of Sakurai, as no casting or pre-production details have been confirmed. Despite the uncertainty, Sakurai's background in fast-paced productions like The Eric Andre Show could potentially steer the project. The film's necessity aligns with the recent success of Street Fighter 6, sparking continued interest from Capcom and its partners.
Deadline shared the update, revealing Kitao Sakurai as the director tapped to captain this ship that's been floating adrift for a while.
Sakurai should be well-adjusted to fast-paced productions, having directed over 60 episodes of The Eric Andre Show for Adult Swim.
