It’s well-known fact that Chun-Li stands among the most adored video game characters globally. If you doubt it, just take a peek at SypherPK’s backstory (a quick Google search will do). Nevertheless, to satisfy fan expectations, any screen portrayal of this iconic figure must be flawlessly executed.
It’s challenging to cast Chun-Li in a live-action film, but Sony appears to have made an excellent choice with Callina Liang. Not only does she physically embody the character, but she is also a remarkable young actress. Although her previous roles have been in lesser-known films or TV series, Liang has already demonstrated her suitability for the part of Chun-Li.
Under the guidance of director Kitao Sakurai (of Bad Trip fame), this upcoming film is generating significant excitement among Street Fighter and Fortnite enthusiasts, as it features Jason Momoa in one of its leading roles.
When will Street Fighter live-action movie release?
The Street Fighter live-action movie is nearly within our grasp, as it’s scheduled for premiere on March 20, 2026. But since the casting process is ongoing, there’s a possibility that we might experience a pushback in its release date.
Regardless, it’s likely that most fans would prefer the movie to be of high quality, even if that means delaying its release. Given the impressive cast that has been assembled, the upcoming Street Fighter film appears poised to rank among the best video game movies ever made.
Nevertheless, can it dethrone the dominance that the Minecraft and The Legend of Zelda movies currently hold? With numerous video game-to-film adaptations on the horizon, speculation abounds about which one might claim the title of the best video game adaptation ever made.
