Jason Momoa in Talks to Star in ‘Street Fighter’ Movie
- Legendary Entertainment is developing a new live-action Street Fighter movie slated for release on March 20, 2026, with Jason Momoa reportedly in talks to star.
- This project follows a 1994 adaptation that starred Jean-Claude Van Damme but was criticized for poor adherence to the game and received negative reviews from critics and fans.
- Capcom is deeply involved in the co-production alongside Legendary Pictures, with Kitao Sakurai set to direct following the departure of prior directors, and additional talent like Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, and Roman Reigns also engaged in talks.
- The Street Fighter series, which began in 1987, remains one of the most popular fighting game franchises with sales exceeding 55 million copies, and its latest installment, Street Fighter 6, received top honors in the fighting game category at the 2023 Game Awards.
- The new film's development signals renewed Hollywood interest in video game adaptations, though uncertainty remains due to the franchise's mixed track record and lack of plot details released so far.
