After years of unsuccessful adaptations, Street Fighter is returning to theaters with a new film, and its second trailer has just been released. Produced by Paramount, Legendary, and Capcom, the movie centers on the game’s cast and their tournament battles. The story focuses on Ryu, played by Andrew Koji, and Ken Masters, portrayed by Noah Centineo, as a contrasting duo: the former, brooding and disoriented, the latter, reckless and prone to partying. Callina Liang appears as Chun-Li, uniting various fighters to organize the tournament, while David Dastmalchian lurks in the background as M. Bison. Directed by Kitao Sakurai, the cast also includes Cody Rhodes as Guile, Orville Peck as Vega, and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog, along with Jason Momoa as Blanka and Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim. The ensemble is rounded out by Olivier Richters as Zangief, Hirooki Goto as E. Honda, Joe Anoai as Akuma, and Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki, plus Eric Andre as Don Sauvage, Mel Jarnson as Cammy, Rayna Vallandingham as Juli, and Alexander Volkanovski as Joe. The second trailer embraces a kitsch tone and abundant fan service, showcasing a live-action video game aesthetic with bold costumes, energetic performances, and overt references to the games.
