Legendary Pictures and Sony Pictures have announced that their live-action Street Fighter movie will hit theaters on March 20th, 2026. This news comes shortly after the departure of directors Danny and Michael Philippou (Talk To Me), who left the project due to scheduling conflicts. Despite the lack of a director, the studio now has a firm release date to aim for.
Details about the film are still under wraps, but fans can expect to see a host of Street Fighter characters battling it out. The hope is that the fight sequences will be nothing short of spectacular. The new director, whoever that may be, has a golden opportunity to craft an exceptional action movie. With the potential to introduce innovative and unique fight scenes, expectations are high.
The original Street Fighter movie premiered in 1994, followed by the less memorable Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li in 2009. Let’s hope this new iteration delivers the high-octane action fans crave.
