A Look Back: Street Fighter’s Live-Action History

This isn’t the first time Street Fighter has entered the live-action arena. The franchise’s cinematic journey started in 1994 with Jean-Claude Van Damme as Guile. Despite negative reviews, the film became one of Van Damme’s biggest box office successes.

In 2009, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li brought Kristin Kreuk to the forefront, while 2014’s Assassin’s Fist became a fan-favorite web series that was later adapted into a feature film and sequel (Resurrection, 2015).

These adaptations proved the enduring appeal of Street Fighter on screen—even if fan reception has been mixed.

Why Street Fighter 2026 Could Change Everything

With Legendary Pictures at the helm and a Hollywood-ready cast, expectations for Street Fighter (2026) are sky-high. The film has the potential to merge faithful adaptation with blockbuster action, giving Capcom’s iconic franchise the big-screen treatment it deserves.

We’ll keep updating as more details surface. For now, fans can only imagine the epic battles that await in October 2026.
