Synopsis of Street Fighter (2026)
Legendary and Capcom bring one of the world's most iconic fighting games back to the screen with Street Fighter (2026), filmed for IMAX®. Set in 1993, the story follows estranged martial artists Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo), who are drawn back into the underground circuit when the mysterious Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament.
The tournament, filled with legendary fighters like Guile, Dhalsim, Vega, Blanka, and Akuma, quickly reveals darker stakes: a global conspiracy led by the ruthless M. Bison (David Dastmalchian). As friendships turn to rivalries and loyalties are tested, Ryu and Ken must confront not only the world's most dangerous opponents but also their past—and each other. One thing is certain: when fists fly, there's no reset button.

During an exclusive FlickDirect interview, Noah Centineo revealed that Ken Masters' arrogant, impulsive personality masks deep emotional pain stemming from his estrangement from Ryu. Centineo explained that he collaborated with director Kitao Sakurai to develop Ken beyond the cocky, outgoing character originally depicted in the screenplay, emphasizing his feelings of abandonment and unresolved hurt.
To prepare for his role as Ken Masters in Street Fighter (2026), Noah Centineo trained six days a week and followed an extreme diet that included two and a half pounds of ground beef and 12 eggs daily, while avoiding carbohydrates and dairy. In an exclusive interview with FlickDirect, Centineo also revealed that he underwent approximately nine weeks of specialized martial arts training and relied on ice baths and sleep for recovery.
