US EditionJason Momoa in Talks to Star in ‘Street Fighter’ Movie
- Legendary Pictures is developing a live-action Street Fighter movie with Jason Momoa reportedly in early talks to star, aiming for a new adaptation of the franchise.
- The project follows Legendary's 2023 acquisition of the rights after the 1994 and 2009 Street Fighter films, with delays and director changes leading to Kitao Sakurai's attachment.
- Street Fighter, which started as an arcade game in 1987, has generated numerous sequels and sold over 55 million copies worldwide; its most recent installment, Street Fighter 6, earned top honors in the fighting game category at the 2023 Game Awards.
- The film is co-produced by Capcom and Legendary, with additional actors Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, and Roman Reigns reportedly in talks, though no plot details have been revealed.
- This adaptation aims to follow recent successful video game films, yet the legacy of past Street Fighter movies criticized for straying from source material casts uncertainty on its reception.
