Live-Action Street Fighter Movie Unveils New Logo Following Release Delay & Director Change

The upcoming live-action Street Fighter movie has a new logo after its release was delayed. Based on the popular game of the same name, the live-action adaptation has faced some uncertainties in coming to life. Initially scheduled for release in 2026, the Street Fighter movie has been removed from Sony Pictures’ release calendar following Kitao Sakurai’s replacement of Danny and Michael Philippou to direct the project.

At the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, where ScreenRant‘s Brennan Klein was in attendance, Capcom debuted a new logo design for the upcoming Street Fighter movie, highlighting the movie’s тιтle in neon red and yellow. The logo also appears to hover over a dark alley, teasing its dark and bleak tone. Check out the new design below:

What This Means For The Street Fighter Movie

The Live-action Street Fighter Movie Is Still Being Made

The adaptation was originally scheduled to arrive on March 20, 2026, and with its removal, Sony bumps the Phoebe Dynevor-led survival thriller Shiver up from an initially slated August release. While being removed from the release schedule has signaled a significant delay in the project, the new logo offers a soft update and a reᴀssurance that the project is in the works.

Danny and Michael Philippou’s exit was largely due to scheduling conflicts and their commitments to original projects. At the time of their exit, the project was still in development. It seems that there might finally be some movement on the project, even though things remain behind the scenes at this point. Street Fighter has yet to find its stars, but despite being scrapped from Sony’s release calendar, the new logo indicates that the movie is still in the works.

Our Take On Street Fighter’s New Logo Design

It’s Bold And Modern, But Still True To The Brand

The classic franchise’s logo design consists of solid red and yellow, a color pattern that remains true in the movie logo. On the other hand, the movie features a hollow design with neon highlights, giving it a modern, underground vibe that looks very exciting while still paying homage to the original IP. There has been another attempt to adapt Street Fighter in 1994, and the reception has been mixed, which makes now a perfect time for a great adaptation.

Known for directing Bad Trip and The Eric Andre Show, with experience in advertising, Sakurai has a unique take on the franchise. The new logo honestly looks pretty good, and it appeals to both gamers and non-gamers while staying true to the brand without breaking it. Sakurai might just be what the live-action video game adaptations like Street Fighter need to scale.
