"It's a brief trailer that doesn't really tell us too much about the new story. Out October 16, 2026, Street Fighter sees Ryu and Ken recruited into the 1993 World Warrior Tournament by Chun-Li. From there they get emmeshed in a "deadly conspiracy." What we get from this new sneak peak is more of a taste of how each character will look in the franchise's latest live-action adaptation and how some of the fight choreography will work."
"Noah Centineo as Ken Masters Andrew Koji as Ryu Jason Momoa as Blanka Roman Reigns as Akuma Callina Liang as Chun-Li Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson as Balrog Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki David Dastmalchian as M. Bison Cody Rhodes as Guile Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim Eric André as Don Sauvage Orville Peck as Vega Olivier Richters as Zangief Hirooki Goto as E. Honda Mel Jarnson as Cammy Rayna Vallandingham as Juli Alexander Volkanovski as Joe Kyle Mooney as Marvin"
"The movie is clearly leaning into its retro '90s nostalgia and doesn't seem to be taking itself too seriously. It looks a little more self-aware than the original 1994 movie. That one was an absolute mess, though it remains a charming artifact of its era. And in keeping with the '90s theme, Street Fighter arrives the same year as the next Mortal Kombat movie, because all SNES-era homages deserve a proper console rivalry."

Bison, among others. The film leans into retro 1990s nostalgia and a self-aware, playful tone. The release is scheduled for October 16, 2026, coinciding with a new Mortal Kombat film.
