In a statement to IGN, Sony revealed that the project is forging ahead despite facing challenges, including the departure of its original directors, Danny and Michael Philippou, due to scheduling conflicts.

The new Street Fighter film aims to overcome the notorious reputation of its predecessors. A 1994 film adaptation starred Jean-Claude Van Damme. The 2009 release “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li” followed. Both films were met with mixed reviews, with the latter often cited as a low point in video game adaptations.
