“Set in 1993, estranged Street Fighters Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) are thrown back into combat when the mysterious Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament: a brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury,” according to the official plot synopsis.
“But behind this battle royale lies a deadly conspiracy that forces them to face off against each other and the demons of their past. And if they don’t, it’s GAME OVER!”
This will be the third live-action feature film based on the iconic Capcom video game franchise. The first Street Fighter movie, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Raul Julia, was released in 1994. A much loathed reboot, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, was released in 2009. Numerous Street Fighter television series and online shorts have been produced over the years.
This new Street Fighter movie was originally going to be directed by Talk to Me and Bring Her Back filmmakers Michael Philippou and Danny Philippou, who ultimately exited the project to focus on original projects.
Video game adaptations have found a new lease on life in recent years, with streaming series like The Last of Us and Fallout finding critical success and A Minecraft Movie and Super Mario Bros. striking gold at the box office. Also aiming for a commercial win is Mortal Kombat II, which has postponed its release date until next summer.
A new Resident Evil movie is also in the works from Weapons director Zach Cregger, while Return to Silent Hill will hit theaters next year.
Meanwhile, Prime Video’s live-action Tomb Raider series starring Sophie Turner begins filming next year while Netflix’s animated series Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft will end with Season 2 this December. Beyond the final season of Tomb Raider, Netflix’s new big animated video game adaptation is Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, which premieres in October.
