Street Fighter is ready to launch into a third round against one of its most lethal opponents, Hollywood. Video game movies generally have a terrible reputation, but that supposed curse has gradually faded from the cultural conversation. Some decent entries and one or two great TV shows have proven that video game source material doesn't automatically sink its new interpretation. The eye naturally moves to the beloved fighting game franchise that flopped twice. The 2026 Street Fighter movie can learn from its predecessors' mistakes to deliver a better version of the World Warriors on the big screen.
