The film will open on October 16.

Paramount Pictures describes the story:

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. But behind this battle royale lies a deadly conspiracy that forces them to face off against each other and the demons of their past. And if they don’t, it’s GAME OVER!

The cast includes:

Paramount Pictures and Legendary signed a multi-year distribution deal in December, with Paramount Pictures distributing Legendary Entertainment films worldwide except China (Legendary East handles distribution in China). Street Fighter will be the first film to be distributed under the new deal. Legendary Entertainment acquired the film and television rights to Street Fighter in April 2023, and will work with CAPCOM on future projects.

Sony Pictures was previously slated to distribute the film. When the film was still slated to be distributed by Sony Pictures, the film was planned to open on March 20, 2026, but Sony removed the film from its release calendar in March 2025.

Kitao Sakurai (The Eric André Show, Bad Trip) is directing the film’s shoot in Australia, which started in August 2025. Brothers Danny and Michael Philippou were initially slated to direct the film, but left the film to focus on making their Bring Her Back film.

The game series inspired a live-action film in 1994 starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Raúl Juliá, Ming-Na Wen, Damian Chapa, Kylie Minogue, and Wes Studi. Hyde Park Entertainment produced a separate spinoff titled Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li starring Kristin Kreuk in 2009.

Machinima produced the Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist and Street Fighter: Resurrection live-action series. Machinima released the first series on its YouTube channel in May 2014, and Funimation licensed the series for release in North America. Funimation released the series on Blu-ray Disc in October 2014. Machinima released the second series on Verizon’s go90 streaming service in March-April 2016. A Street Fighter: World Warrior television series was originally planned in 2018. 

Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie adapted CAPCOM‘s video game Super Street Fighter II in 1994. Discotek Media released the film on DVD in December 2015, and on Blu-ray Disc in October 2016. The franchise has also inspired several other anime and animated series.

The Street Fighter 6 fighting game launched in June 2023 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. CAPCOM released the game on Nintendo Switch 2 in June 2025 as a launch title. The Street Fighter 6 Years 1-2 Fighters Edition version also launched on the same day.

WWWave Corporation‘s anime streaming platform OceanVeil announced on Monday that the English dub of the television anime of Okumaro‘s Now That I Can Control Reality With A Mouse Cursor, I’m Gonna Click Away On The Girls! (Mouse Cursor de Genjitsu o Sōsa Dekiru Yō ni Natta node, Onna no Ko o Ippai Click Shima~su, or Click Me All Over) manga will debut on the service on October 4 alongside the Japanese television premiere.

The company revealed the English dub cast:

The dub staff includes:

The anime is part of the AnimeFesta programming block in Japan. The anime will debut on television in Japan on October 4 at 25:00 (effectively October 5 at 1:00 a.m.) on Tokyo MX and BS11. The anime began streaming in Japan earlier on AnimeFesta starting on September 11. OceanVeil also began streaming the anime on the same day.

OceanVeil describes Now That I Can Control Reality With A Mouse Cursor, I’m Gonna Click Away On The Girls! anime’s story:

Takumi, an ordinary otaku, is sitting in IT class when he notices something impossible: his computer mouse cursor has sprung right out of the screen and into the real world! Panicked, he asks his bossy childhood friend Mone if she can see it, but she just brushes him off. Realizing the cursor is completely invisible to others and under his control, Takumi decides to test it out by slipping it between the gaps in Mone’s clothes and clicking away!

As Mone writhes from the unfamiliar sensation, Takumi uncovers a floating real-life context menu featuring incredible controls like “Cut”, “Paste”, “Double Sensitivity Mode”, and even “The Real Deal” (if he can earn enough Click Points!). But keeping his new powers a secret isn’t easy. Between accidental wardrobe malfunctions caused by ‘Cut’, mysterious classmates pursuing him, and art club presidents who might actually see the cursor, Takumi’s clicking spree is about to set off a wild, slapstick chain reaction!

Kazuya Nakamura is the anime’s planning and executive producer, Reiga Goto is the producer, Studio Hōkiboshi is producing the anime, and Suiseisha is credited for production. Makoto Sokuza is the director, Eeyo Kurosaki is overseeing the series scripts, Minakawa Akapiv is the character designer, and Harimasu is the chief animation director.
