It’s been nearly two years since the announcement that a new live action Street Fighter film was in the works. Legendary Entertainment is reportedly the studio behind the project’s production.
Just last month, we learned that Kitao Sakurai, the Director and Executive Producer of The Eric Andre Show for more than a decade, had signed up as the Director of the Street Fighter movie. Funnily enough, it took nearly two years for the project to get a Director.
By this point, the only things we knew about this live action Street Fighter film is its generic movie poster and the identity of its Director. Outside of that, we know nothing about its actors or filming location.
Needless to say, we expressed some doubts about the project actually hitting the theaters on March 20, 2026, its supposed release date. With all of this in mind, it feels like 2027 would be a safer bet.
Indeed, there’s evidence that suggests that the mysterious Street Fighter project has already been delayed. As noted by Variety, Sony has seemingly removed the Street Fighter adaption from its release calendar while shifting Tommy Wirkola’s shark thriller “Beneath the Storm,” retitled “Shiver,” from August 2025 to July 2026.
Due to this, it’s believed that the Street Fighter movie is being delayed. For now, the adaption has been completely removed from Sony’s calendar, so we currently don’t have any information about when to expect the movie to hit theaters at this point.
Of course, this could also be a sign that the Street Fighter film is outright being cancelled, but no such announcement as been made thus far. We’ll just have to keep an eye on the situation and see how things play out from here.
