Street Fighter 2026 movie first-look trailer sees Game of Thrones and Dune legend in key role
The eclectic cast also includes roles for Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji and 50 Cent among many, many others.
The first trailer has been unveiled for upcoming video game adaptation Street Fighter – giving fans a glimpse of the film's eclectic cast including Game of Thrones and Dune star Jason Momoa as popular character Blanka.
The ensemble for the film also includes To All the Boys I've Loved Before and The Recruit star Noah Centineo, British actor and martial artist Andrew Koji, and rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson among many others, and all of them can be seen in the new teaser.
"I got good news y'all," a voice is heard saying towards the beginning of the trailer. "Gathered here are the world's best fighters. But only one of which will be crowned the world champion of street fighter."
Throughout, the teaser includes all sorts of high-octane fight scenes, bright, neon colours and early '90s indicators – with director Kitao Sakurai certainly going for a highly stylised approach in keeping with the aesthetic of the games.
The official synopsis for the film reads: "Set in 1993, estranged Street Fighters Ryu (Koji) and Ken Masters (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!"
