Live-Action Street Fighter Film Trailer Released with Cast Comments

Paramount Pictures has begun streaming the trailer for "The Love of Street Fighter," a new live-action adaptation based on CAPCOM's popular video game franchise. The promotional video, released on Friday, includes behind-the-scenes footage alongside commentary from the cast regarding their connection to the series. The film is scheduled to open in theaters on October 16.

Set in 1993, the story follows estranged fighters Ryu and Ken as they are recruited by Chun-Li for the World Warrior Tournament. This brutal competition conceals a deadly conspiracy that forces the protagonists to confront their pasts and each other. The production is directed by Kitao Sakurai, who took over after original directors Danny and Michael Philippou departed to work on another project. Filming commenced in Australia in August 2025.

This project marks the first distribution under a multi-year deal between Paramount and Legendary Entertainment, which was signed last December. Legendary acquired the rights to the franchise in April 2023, succeeding Sony Pictures, which had previously removed the title from its calendar.
