Plot Details
The new film is set in 1993. Estranged Street Fighters Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) are thrown back into combat when the mysterious Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament — a brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury.

The Legacy of Street Fighter
First launched in 1987, Street Fighter has become one of the most iconic fighting franchises in gaming history, selling over 55 million units worldwide. The series is built around one-on-one battles and the World Warrior Tournament, often tied to the villainous Shadaloo organization led by M. Bison.
With this cast and Sakurai at the helm, fans are finally getting a new live-action Street Fighter with the potential to become a blockbuster tournament of its own.
