Street Fighter Movie’s New Trailer Showcases All Characters in Hilarious Style
The upcoming live-action Street Fighter movie is a real head-scratcher, with some character designs looking hilariously ridiculous while others are just plain silly in a charming way. It definitely has that campy vibe that could make it a “so bad it’s good” experience, so count me in for the ride. The latest trailer dives deep into the absurdity, showcasing a wide array of characters in their costumes. While some, like Blanka and Guile, might not hit the mark, I have to admire the film’s boldness in its approach.
As hinted in earlier trailers, the dynamic between Ryu and Ken is a focal point, revealing the tension in their relationship. Chun-Li steps in to facilitate a reunion at an upcoming tournament, with jealousy playing a role in their rift. Once they’re there, they’ll cross paths with a host of Street Fighter favorites, including Dhalsim, Balrog, E. Honda, Guile, Cammy, Zangief, and many more iconic figures from Capcom’s universe.
It remains uncertain how much screen time the full cast will receive, but Ken and Ryu’s rivalry clearly serves as the narrative backbone. Meanwhile, M. Bison is up to no good, suggesting that the characters will likely unite to thwart his plans.
Street Fighter hits theaters on October 16, and Capcom is gearing up for a busy couple of months, with the Resident Evil movie also set to premiere on September 18.
