Paramount Pictures has released SEVENTEEN new character posters ahead of its upcoming live-action feature film adaptation of the classic Capcom arcade game “Street Fighter”. The posters highlight the film’s massive collection of characters which includes nearly every playable character from the franchise’s early days. We get series originals such as Ryu, Ken, Guile, Chun-Li, Zangief, E. Honda, Blanka, Dhalsim, Balrog, Vega, and of course M. Bison, as well as some later additions like Akuma, Cammy, Joe, and Dan.

Of course the film has an equally massive cast that includes Jason Momoa, David Dastmalchian, Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i, Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, Calina Liang, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Cody Rhodes, Andrew Schulz and more. Kitao Sakurai directs from a screenplay he wrote with T.J. Fixman. Their story takes place in 1993 where rivals Ryu (Koji) and Ken (Centineo) are recruited by Chun-Li (Liang) to compete in the World Warrior Tournament. But they quickly learn there is more at stake than mere bragging rights.

Admittedly, the trailers make the film look overstuffed and messy. At the same time, it’s hard not to admire its open self-awareness. It looks goofy, cheesy, even a little campy. But most of all it has the potential to be fun. Yes, I know “fun” is a word some tend to frown upon these days. But for a movie likes this, it’s exactly what you want. And Sakurai is putting a lot of emphasis on accuracy, from the wild tone to the killer costume designs. So fans should find a lot to enjoy.

“Street Fighter” hits theaters on October 16th. Are you excited for the film? Check out the new character posters and share your thoughts in the comments below.
