The logo for the Street Fighter movie has been revealed.
Spotted at the Las Vegas Licensing Expo, it shows the words ‘Street Fighter’ emblazoned on a brick wall in the classic orange and yellow colors.
The movie is a partnership between Capcom, who develop the long-running fighting game series, and Legendary, who found success with 2019’s video game-inspired Nintendo collaboration, Pokémon Detective Pikachu.
Street Fighter is arguably the most famous fighting game franchise. The first Street Fighter game released in 1987, and encompasses over 80 releases. The latest in the mainline series released in 2023 with Street Fighter 6.
Judging from the logo, the movie will be faithful to the source material. The last attempt at a film adaptation was 1994, which starred Jean Claude Van Damme and Kylie Minogue. It’s widely considered one of the worst films ever made.
Directing duo Danny and Michael Philippou will hope to avoid those mistakes. They helm Street Fighter, having delivered one of 2023’s best horror film’s in Talk to Me.
The plot is a closely guarded secret for now, with no synopsis, release date, or cast list. However, its safe to guess it’ll feature the game’s most prominent characters such as Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Cammy, Blanka, E.Honda, and M.Bison.
