Legendary has officially unveiled the complete cast for its upcoming live-action Street Fighter adaptation, set to hit theaters on October 16, 2026, via Paramount Pictures.
This marks the first Legendary title to be released under its new distribution deal with Paramount, and filming is already underway in Australia.
Directed by Bad Trip filmmaker Kitao Sakurai, the movie promises a fresh yet nostalgic take on Capcom’s iconic fighting game franchise. Legendary has also released side-by-side images of the actors alongside their in-game counterparts, giving fans a first look at how the characters are being brought to life.
The cast is as follows:
Noah Centineo (Ken Masters) – American
Andrew Koji (Ryu) – British‑Japanese.
Callina Liang (Chun‑Li) – British with Chinese descent
Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i (Akuma) – American with Samoan heritage
David Dastmalchian (M. Bison) – American
Cody Rhodes (Guile) – American
Andrew Schulz (Dan Hibiki) – American
Eric André (Don Sauvage) – American
Vidyut Jammwal (Dhalsim) – Indian
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson (Balrog) – American
Jason Momoa (Blanka) – American
Orville Peck (Vega) – Canadian
Olivier Richters (Zangief) – Dutch
Hirooki Goto (E. Honda) – Japanese
Rayna Vallandingham (Juli) – American
Alexander Volkanovski (Joe) – Australian
Kyle Mooney (Marvin) – American

According to the official synopsis, the film is set in 1993, where estranged fighters Ryu and Ken are pulled back into the ring when Chun-Li recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament — a brutal clash hiding a deadly conspiracy. The stakes? If they fail, it’s “game over.”
This will be the third live-action Street Fighter film, following the 1994 cult classic starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and the less-loved 2009 reboot The Legend of Chun-Li.
