The trailer for street fighter 2026 was released on April 16, 2026 and teases a global, ensemble action film arriving in theatres on October 16, 2026.
Director Kitao Sakurai stages a 1993 set piece that follows estranged fighters Ryu and Ken, recruited by Chun Li for the World Warrior Tournament, and frames the contest around a deadly conspiracy and the fighters facing demons from their pasts.
The cast list reads like a cross section of modern combat culture with Noah Centineo as Ken Masters, Andrew Koji as Ryu, and Callina Liang as Chun Li, while Jason Momoa appears as the beastly Blanka whose face the trailer largely conceals.
Indian action star Vidyut Jammwal makes his Hollywood debut as Dhalsim, described in the trailer as a peaceful yogi noted for elasticity and the ability to breathe fire, prompting social media praise such as Here for Vidyut Jammwal He is the best when it comes to action.
The production also features Roman Reigns as Akuma, David Dastmalchian as M Bison, Cody Rhodes as Guile, Orville Peck as Vega and Curtis 50 Cent Jackson as Balrog, among others including Olivier Richters, Hirooki Goto, Rayna Vallandingham and Alexander Volkanovski.
Paramount Presentation And Industry Context
Paramount showcased the new Street Fighter trailer during its CinemaCon 2026 presentation, where much of the film’s cast appeared onstage and a new sizzle reel was screened, as reported by IGN.
At CinemaCon Paramount executives outlined wider studio plans, with David Ellison noting a pending Warner Bros acquisition and a goal to release a minimum of 30 films annually, while the company said it will keep a 45-day theatrical minimum and initially move films to SVOD after 90 days.
The studio also confirmed multiple franchise developments and screened other footage at the event, including a first look at Sonic the Hedgehog 4, confirmation that Top Gun 3 is in development with Tom Cruise attached, and a brief Call of Duty teaser introduced by director Peter Berg mentioning Taylor Sheridan’s involvement.
IGN reported that Street Fighter’s CinemaCon moment included a cast appearance that featured Cody Rhodes wearing a Guile hairpiece and an onstage sizzle that tied the film to nostalgic arcade elements, with producers hoping the mix of martial arts and gaming nostalgia will drive box office success.
