An official teaser trailer for the latest live-action Street Fighter film has just been unveiled at The Game Awards 2025. Produced by Legendary Entertainment, the trailer offers the first look at a rebooted vision of Capcom’s iconic fighting‑game franchise, revealing a star-studded cast.
Unlike the 1994 Jean‑Claude Van Damme adaptation or the 2009 Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun‑Li, this version positions itself as a more grounded martial‑arts film set in 1993, with a tone closer to the games’ world‑building and character dynamics.
The film features a large ensemble cast led by Andrew Koji as Ryu and Noah Centineo as Ken Masters, with Callina Liang as Chun‑Li and Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i as Akuma — all prominently featured in the trailer’s early character reveals. Additional cast members include David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, Cody Rhodes, Eric André, Vidyut Jammwal, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Jason Momoa, rounding out a lineup that blends martial‑arts talent, dramatic performers, and high‑profile screen personalities. Directed by Kitao Sakurai, the film is being produced by Legendary Pictures in partnership with Capcom and shot in IMAX for a more cinematic presentation.
The teaser emphasizes stylized combat, character‑driven tension and faithful visual cues such as Ryu and Ken’s classic silhouettes, suggesting a more authentic approach to the original games than previous adaptations. Paramount Pictures will distribute the film, which is slated for release on October 16, 2026.
