- Quick Answer: A sequel to the 2026 Street Fighter reboot is rumored to be in early development, though its greenlight depends on box office performance.
Street Fighter 2026 may start a new franchise as a sequel is now reportedly in the works ahead of the reboot’s release.
The upcoming third adaptation of the classic Capcom video game series is now gaining traction with its ensemble cast and undeniably intense showdown of the characters seen in every new trailer and clip.
So, will fans see Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji, and Callina Liang reprising their fan-favorite roles in the potential Street Fighter 2?
Will There Be a Street Fighter 2?
Street Fighter 2026 will not be released until October 16, but there are now rumors that a sequel is already in development.
During the film’s press day (via ComicBook), director Kitao Sakurai was asked if he is already working on a second film, reportedly titled Street Fighter: Round Two.
“I can unfortunately not confirm nor deny anything of that nature,” he said. “But it’s something that we would obviously love to do. I mean, we had such an incredible time making this movie and would love to do more.”
However, just like other movies, its follow-up depends on the fans’ reactions, box office success, and critics’ scores.
“And so, you know, I think it’s all kind of based off of how you guys and the fans react, and if they love it or not, you know,” he continued.
To hype up the sequel even more, film star David Dastmalchian, who plays the villain M. Bison, seems to agree with the idea of making a sequel by shouting “Round two” in the style of the iconic Street Fighter game announcer.
If Street Fighter 2 is indeed in the works, it will never run out of stories to tell with its several source materials.
The franchise now has six main games and a dozen spinoffs and crossover games, making the possibility of a second movie not far-fetched.
What Is Street Fighter 2026 About?
A decade after the 2016 short action film Street Fighter: Resurrection, the World Warrior Tournament is about to begin again in the 2026 reboot Street Fighter.
Set in 1993, the movie will see Chun-Li recruiting estranged fighters Ryu and Ken Masters to join the next World Warrior Tournament.
However, without them knowing, the tournament will force them not only to face each other but also their inner demons.
Directed by Kitao Sakurai, the film will feature a large number of famous actors, including Noah Centineo as Ken Masters, Andrew Koji as Ryu, Callina Liang as Chun-Li, Joe "Roman Reigns" Anoa'i as Akuma, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, Cody Rhodes as Guile, Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki, Eric André as Don Sauvage, and Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim, portraying the fan-favorite fighters on the big screen.
In addition, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson joins the cast as Balrog, Jason Momoa as Blanka, Orville Peck as Vega, Olivier Richters as Zangief, Hirooki Goto as E. Honda, Mel Jarnson as Cammy, Rayna Vallandingham as Juli, and Alexander Volkanovski as Joe.
The action begins when Street Fighter 2026 hits theaters on October 16.
