Paramount Pictures and Legendary Entertainment have unleashed a new trailer for Street Fighter, giving fans another action-packed look at the upcoming live-action adaptation of Capcom’s legendary fighting franchise.

The trailer debuted as Paramount and Legendary kicked off the film’s global World Warrior Tour in Tokyo, bringing the movie back to the country where the Street Fighter franchise was born.

Set in 1993, Street Fighter follows former friends and fighters Ryu and Ken Masters, played by Andrew Koji and Noah Centineo. After growing apart, the two are pulled back into the fight when Chun-Li, played by Callina Liang, recruits them to compete in the World Warrior Tournament.

What initially appears to be a battle to determine the world’s greatest fighter soon becomes something much more dangerous, with a conspiracy lurking behind the tournament and Ryu and Ken eventually forced to confront both each other and their pasts.

The latest footage continues to embrace the wild personality of the games, mixing martial arts action with the colorful characters and larger-than-life style that have defined Street Fighter for decades.

And there are plenty of familiar faces joining the fight.

The massive cast includes Jason Momoa as Blanka, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, Cody Rhodes as Guile, Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i as Akuma, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog, Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim, Orville Peck as Vega, Olivier Richters as Zangief, Hirooki Goto as E. Honda and Mel Jarnson as Cammy. Eric André also appears as tournament announcer Don Sauvage.

Kitao Sakurai directs the film, which is produced by Legendary Pictures in association with Capcom. Sakurai recently explained that his goal was to avoid making an “off-the-shelf” video game movie, instead leaning into martial arts cinema, comedy and the distinct personality of the games.

Street Fighter hits theaters on October 16, 2026.

Samara Weaving may be adding another major franchise to her growing resume, as the actress has reportedly joined the cast of the upcoming live action The Legend of Zelda movie.

According to a new report, Weaving has already filmed her role in the highly anticipated adaptation, which completed principal photography in New Zealand earlier this year. While details surrounding her character remain officially under wraps, reports have suggested that Weaving could be playing Hylia, the goddess who holds an important place within The Legend of Zelda mythology.

For now, that particular piece of casting should be treated as a rumor. Neither Nintendo nor Sony Pictures has officially confirmed Weaving’s involvement or revealed who she may be playing.

If confirmed, Weaving would join a growing ensemble led by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link and Bo Bragason as Princess Zelda. Recent reports have also connected Uli Latukefu to Ganondorf, Dichen Lachman to Impa and Yvonne Strahovski to a queen role. The late Sam Neill is also reportedly part of the cast after completing his work on the film before his death.

The potential casting comes during a particularly busy stretch for Weaving. The Ready or Not star was recently reported to have landed the role of Emma Frost in Marvel Studios’ upcoming X-Men reboot, giving her the possibility of appearing in two massive franchises over the next several years.

The Legend of Zelda is directed by Wes Ball, best known for The Maze Runner trilogy and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. The film marks Nintendo’s first attempt to bring one of its most iconic franchises to live action since the company’s recent resurgence in theatrical adaptations.

Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto is producing alongside Avi Arad, with Sony Pictures handling theatrical distribution.

The biggest question surrounding Weaving’s reported casting is whether the Hylia rumor proves accurate. Hylia is deeply connected to the mythology surrounding Zelda, Link and the recurring battle against evil throughout the games. Her inclusion could indicate that Ball’s film will lean heavily into the larger mythology of Hyrule rather than simply adapting the story of one particular game.

With filming already complete, fans should begin getting a much clearer picture of Nintendo and Sony’s vision for Hyrule as the movie moves closer to release.

The Legend of Zelda is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters in 2027.

Jason Momoa is clearly having the time of his life playing Blanka in the upcoming Street Fighter movie.

In a newly released behind the scenes featurette, Momoa revealed that Blanka has always been his favorite character from the iconic fighting game franchise.

“Blanka. He’s my favorite.”

The actor went on to explain that he always chose Blanka when playing Street Fighter, making the opportunity to bring the fan favorite to life especially meaningful.

“I always played him.”

Momoa also described landing the role as a dream come true, saying that when he was offered the chance to play Blanka, it instantly became his “dream role.”

The featurette also gives fans several new looks at Blanka in action, showcasing his massive physique, signature green appearance, wild red hair, and electric attacks. Momoa teases that the character “drains people” while embracing the feral, unpredictable energy that has made Blanka one of the franchise’s most recognizable fighters.

The new footage arrives as anticipation continues to build for Street Fighter, giving fans another glimpse at how the live action adaptation is bringing Capcom’s legendary roster to the big screen.
