Ensemble cast brings game icons to screen

The film features an ensemble cast of about 15 characters from different video game instalments. Noah Centineo plays Ken Masters while Andrew Koji portrays Ryu in this action movie.

Director aims to break previous film curse

Kitao Sakurai directs the project following two disappointing live-action adaptations of the franchise before his time. The production team hopes their effort will impress both critics and fans like the recent Resident Evil reboot.

Production focuses on game world love

Cast members state that everyone involved grew up playing the game and loves the source material deeply. They describe the tone as absurd and wild without taking itself too seriously during filming.
