Street Fighter Film Loses 2026 Release Date

Legendary Entertainment and Capcom are co-developing a live-action Street Fighter movie, with WWE superstar Roman Reigns in advanced talks to play Akuma, joining Jason Momoa, Andrew Koji, and Noah Centineo in the potential cast. Reigns is reportedly being considered for Akuma, a prominent character, as he transitions from his WWE career following WrestleMania 41. Kitao Sakurai is attached to direct the film, which no longer has its originally planned March 2026 release date after being removed from Sony's schedule. The project continues to move forward amid renewed Hollywood enthusiasm for video game adaptations, inspired by recent box office successes. While full plot and casting details remain undisclosed, the involvement of high-profile talent highlights big ambitions for the franchise reboot. The Street Fighter franchise has sold over 55 million units since 1987.
