"Street Fighter Movie Gets New Director"

Author : Audrey Update:Apr 10,2025

A new Street Fighter movie has selected its challenger, I mean, director.

The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Kitao Sakurai, known for his work as a writer, director, and executive producer on the absurd comedy show The Eric Andre Show, will helm a new film adaptation of Street Fighter for Legendary Entertainment.

Capcom is said to be "deeply involved" with the project, and the movie is already slated for a March 20, 2026 release date.

PlayThis marks yet another attempt to bring *Street Fighter* to the big screen, following the iconic 1994 film that starred Jean-Claude Van Damme as Guile, Ming-Na Wen as Chun-Li, and the late Raul Julia as M. Bison. That film, while not critically acclaimed at the time, has since become a cult classic.

Details on casting are still under wraps, but fans can likely anticipate seeing their favorite Street Fighter characters brought to life once again.

Originally, the project had Talk to Me directors Danny and Michael Philippou attached to direct, but they left the project last summer. The selection of Sakurai, an alum of The Eric Andre Show, suggests that Legendary might be steering the film towards a more absurdist tone. As a fan of the more whimsical aspects of Street Fighter, I'm genuinely thrilled about this potential direction.

While we wait for more updates on the movie, fans can dive into the latest installment of the game, Street Fighter 6, which recently introduced Mai Shiranui as a new fighter. For more insights, check out our comprehensive Street Fighter 6 review here.
