Street Fighter Movie Update: Sony’s Latest Move Could Spell Trouble For The Upcoming Adaptation
Back in April 2023, I was thrilled about the news of a reboot for the Street Fighter franchise, as Legendary Entertainment secured the rights to the movies and TV series. Initially, Danny and Michael Philippou were set to direct this epic revival, but they parted ways with the project a year down the line. Since then, there’s been little movement on the project, with Capcom keeping mum about any updates – cast or otherwise.
Finally, in February, major news outlets reported that we might have found our director: Kitao Sakurai, a Japanese-American filmmaker who made waves with Netflix’s Bad Trip and several Twisted Metal episodes featuring Anthony Mackie. The news was exciting, but unfortunately, it’s still uncertain when this movie will hit the big screen, and recent developments aren’t exactly encouraging.
