Street Fighter Movie 2026 Cast
The Street Fighter 2026 cast is officially led by Noah Centineo as Ken Masters and Andrew Koji as Ryu. Around them, Legendary has built a big ensemble that tries to cover most of the classic roster in one go:
-
Noah Centineo – Ken Masters
-
Andrew Koji – Ryu
-
Callina Liang – Chun‑Li
-
Jason Momoa – Blanka
-
Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i – Akuma
-
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson – Balrog
-
David Dastmalchian – M. Bison
-
Cody Rhodes – Guile
-
Vidyut Jammwal – Dhalsim
-
Orville Peck – Vega
-
Olivier Richters – Zangief
-
Hirooki Goto – E. Honda
-
Mel Jarnson – Cammy
-
Rayna Vallandingham – Juli
-
Andrew Schulz – Dan Hibiki
-
Eric André – Don Sauvage (original character)
-
Alexander Volkanovski – Joe
-
Kyle Mooney – Marvin (comic‑relief role)
It’s wild on paper, Roman Reigns as Akuma, Orville Peck as Vega, 50 Cent as Balrog, but that’s also why people are paying attention. The first teaser shown at The Game Awards 2025 leaned into that energy, putting almost the entire cast on stage and showing off recognizable special moves like Hadoken, Spinning Bird Kick, and even the car bonus stage.

Street Fighter Movie Release Date
Street Fighter is scheduled to release in theaters on October 16, 2026, with Paramount handling global distribution in IMAX. The film originally had a March 20, 2026, date under Sony before Legendary’s deal shifted to Paramount, but the later October slot gives the team more breathing room for post‑production and probably a better box‑office window. Street Fighter (@StreetFighter) shared on X a sneak peek of the Street Fighter movie, set to hit theaters on October 16, 2026.
Filming started in August 2025 and wrapped in November 2025, so the movie spends essentially a full year in post, enough time to polish fight choreography, effects, and all those signature Street Fighter visuals. If everything stays on track, October 16, 2026, should be the date to circle for fans who’ve waited decades for a big‑budget do‑over after the 1994 and 2009 attempts.
About the Street Fighter Movie
The 2026 Street Fighter movie is a fresh live‑action reboot directed by Kitao Sakurai (known for Bad Trip and The Eric Andre Show), based on a script by Dalan Musson. The official synopsis centers on Ryu and Ken being pulled back together when Chun‑Li recruits them for the World Warrior Tournament, only to uncover a deeper conspiracy that forces them to confront both M. Bison and their own shared past.
Legendary picked up the live‑action rights from Capcom in 2023 and has been positioning this as a new start for the series on film, not a sequel to any previous version. Between the over‑the‑top first trailer, the IMAX push, and that very loud, very strange cast list, the 2026 Street Fighter movie is clearly trying to lean into what the games have always been at their best: big, colorful, slightly ridiculous, and completely unashamed of it.
