- Andrew Koji (Ryu), Noah Centineo (Ken) and Callina Liang (Chun‑Li) lead a cast that also features David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, Cody Rhodes as Guile, Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i as Akuma, and Jason Momoa as Blanka.
- Footage highlights faithful game moments and moves, including Ryu’s Hadouken, Chun‑Li’s Spinning Bird Kick, Zangief’s suplexes, and Ken’s Street Fighter II car smash, paired with 4 Non Blondes and an unreleased Tupac track.
- Kitao Sakurai directs the Legendary–Capcom production, which Paramount is distributing as the first release under its new deal with Legendary and which was filmed for IMAX.
- This third major live‑action take on Capcom’s 55‑million‑unit franchise leans into bright, campy nostalgia as Hollywood continues to mine video games for big‑screen franchises.
