It has been announced that a new Street Fighter movie will be released on March 20, 2026. The movie is from Legendary and is co-developed and produced with Capcom, the Japanese game distributor.

Legendary acquired the film and television rights to the Street Fighter series in 2023. Since the video game series launch in 1987, it has sold over 49 million units worldwide with Street Fighter 6 being the latest release.

This isn’t the first Street Fighter Movie

Surprisingly, this is not the first Street Fighter movie to release in theaters. In 1994, Universal came out with an adaptation that starred Jean-Claude Van Damme, Kylie Minogue, Ming-Na Wen, and Raul Julia. In 2009, 20th Century Fox came out with Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.

In a recent Capcom shareholder meeting, it was revealed the Street Fighter 1994 movie continues to make tens of millions of yen every year.

If the recent history of video game adaptations taught us anything it’s that they’re successful. We have seen the releases of Five Nights At Freddy’s, Sonic the Hedgehog, and the Super Mario Bros. Movie have been very successful at the box office.
